[MPDev]

And I don't think it's ok for graphics and styles to be paid for.

And just how should professionals expect to make a living? I assume that not everyone here has a trust fund.

I assume you expect mods posted here only to be done by people in the "learning" process. As such, the expectation for support could be summed up with "you get what you pay for".

That said, the emphasis of these forums is for learning and serious developers should consider alternative resources. (That gives me an idea....)

i can understand for large large modifications but small ones .

I think you fail to take into account that market demand will drive prices and "small mods" would unlikely generate any revenue as there would bound to be free alternatives. The current policy prohibits even "large ones" from being promoted on the site (such as the mod I was looking for). I can see a trend here where people with no financial incentive often fail to followup on their work - after all, the "fun" of documenting and posting mods is often lost after a couple pages of rants from other people on the learning curve.

Advertising seems like a viable alternative.
