Reason to block Requests for paid services from guests?

[Shazz]

Title of thread states the question, just curious. :o

[Dismounted]

Because only licensed members should be able to fulfil those requests. (And a lot of the time they contain contact details.)

would u hire someone from here who was listed as a guest ?

Did I read that wrong? I thought he was asking why guests can't make paid requests, and have members fill them...

Although I don't think guests should make or fill requests... And most of the time, coders/designers have contact info in their signatures, so guests can easily contact them outside of VBulletin.org.

Bad idea IMO, opens all sorts of "bad" possibilities, I must side w/ the boards (vb.org's) stance on this per the current implementations :p

[defi]

Because why should I compete with someone whose never used vBulletin before and will only waste my potential client's time and money?

You can't offer a good service if you are unfamiliar with a system you are developing.

The paid requests section is open to licenced members only, there are no plans to change that. :)
