Unlicensed members
 

Hello dudes!

It would be great to allow unlicensed users to post everywhere but not allow them to download attachments nor to view codes. I think all of us want to discuss here.

Unlicenced members are not entitled to receive support on this site, so letting them post in areas where support is given is counter productive. As far as I'm aware in those areas where no support is given, such as this forum, unlicensed members can post.

That would be stupid.

If someone doesn't have a license they really have no reason to be posting in a support forum or making comments on modifications. Just opens the whole site up to spam instead of just 3 forums.

License you have not, Jedi you will not become.

That would be like a red rag to a bull , spam everywhere.

Interesting Fact: Bulls are color-blind. It's all in the wrist :eek:

We are quite happy with the current system, which has served well for almost 15 years.

Translation:

I'd really like to benefit from the various items on this site WITHOUT buying vBulletin.

OP I can get you full access on here, just give me $249.00 and I'll buy you a license to get you access. :D

You forgot, you should charge an extra finding fee as well.....

I'm not saying this is the case here, not by any means however usually when we see posts like the original above its due to them running nulled/pirated versions... since they have no account on vBulletin.com they come here to try and receive help. Either that or its someone from one of the nulled sites who offer paid support to their members then in-turn come here to ask the questions they're asked, using us to provide support which they're paid for, shady shady. I'm not here to point any of these out but I will say if you look hard enough a few examples will show up from the past few months based on their post count and signature links to their site where you can see them ask here then take our answer and provide it to their clients. This type of shady thing happens all the time and not just here nor with vBulletin by itself... on other software support sites as well and I shall refrain from calling them what I perceive them to be, it would be st*r'd to death regardless :cool:.

Needless to say, like I initially said above I don't know if that's the case here, I'll instead be positive and hope for the best i.e. that it was something on your part, you believed to be a valid idea - without realizing the drawbacks.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. :)

That no one would ever do such a thing eh?! I know lets stay POSITIVE!

I know what you meant, I'm funnier when being just plum silly!

LOL ok I'm positive that it may be the case that he was asking because he runs a nulled version of vb! How's that?!?!?!

^ Sooooooooooooooooooooo RUDE Len, just soooooo RUDE! <-- That phrase/saying is a HUGE inside joke between my wife and I so smile - I'm laughing with you not at you ;).

LOL What?!?!? Who me?
