Yea I did ask for help in some graphics sections that I knew were not supported. But a silkblack style I installed said suppoted. I installed it and it never worked correctly. I asked for support several times and the author hasn't replied to the thread in over 6 months even though he was just online 2 days ago.
Also, on a couple mods, one was a support ticket system, and the other I can't remember. But both were marked as supported. I needed help with one and had a general question about another and neither has been replied to by the coder for months.
Yes, its free stuff, and people do have lives, so I don't expect replies the same day. It may take a while. But when people haven't replied for months and months and their stuff is still marked supported it gets annoying. I download it, and click install giving them credit, and then rate the product only to find out the designer is dead or something.
As least mark not supported if you aren't going to support it. I also think its a good idea to have a product automatically marked as un supported if the designer hasn't replied in a set amount of time. Maybe there could be a new way to rate a product as "not being supported" and after enough people click it, the product changes.
You know that if you installed the Project Tools for this website, that would be awsome! Jelsoft has a new Project Tools secion that does just this exact thing. You can rate the products, and mark as supported/not supported, and there is a built in feature that lets people petition to have the products status changed. So they could petition to have its status automatically changed to not supported once enough people click it. I use it on my webiste and its awsome!
