Im asking because Im sick and tired of always downloading hack that the Coder claims they work, then they don't, then they don't provide support for it, then you as a webmaster has to spend hours to revert the hack...

IMHO I would have a set of rules to have for the site that if a coder uploads a hack, they need to support it, I mean if you were to go thru all the threads on any hack, you would see that alot of coders don't support their creations!!! so why promote it then!

I would say atleast 80% plus of webmaster of sites don't know programing from right to left and they come here to download a product that should work without problems, then out of the blue, no support!!!...that is just a waste of time and "Money" for some site....

Im not trying to be out line on this, but I really feel there needs to be a set of standards a site like this needs to enforce, which will show to the members who register or buy the product of vB that they will get the best of the best for their sites!!!

Just my 2 cents! :disappointed:

Not even two cents.

What you pay for is vB not the hacks, vB.org can't force people to provide support because the coders are providing FREE hacks.

I have written 5 hacks so far, which are quite large and are directed towards chess sites, but I sell them, and provide support. If you want support that badly then you will probably be better off posting in the request section and paying the coder for their work.
