THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION BETWEEN FREE AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS.

I hope you'll agree that vb.org is a good place to find "help" or "beta testers" for addons that are under "construction".

With that said, we (coders) need a place where we can invite the community to become "Beta Testers and/or Helpers", etc for upcoming addons.

Beta Testers / Helpers are good for...

test product
review code
write FAQ/Manual
marketing
etc

Yes, this is ignoring the fact that a product can be released freely (posted here on vb.org) or released commercially.

Yes, I do believe that these requests should be allowed here. However, I don't believe it should be up for discussion -- such as it is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=104043.

In the above thread (provided link), all Ron1n is asking for is help to improve his addons .. nothing more. Right away, we have a few people questioning his intentions. Can't we just have a place where we can post such requests without people discussing our "intentions"? Is there anything wrong with such a request?

NOT ASKING FOR A LOT
What I recommend is rephrasing the Service Request Forum description to allow such requests within this forum.

Requests are not open for discussion.
"Service providers" are usually the ones interested in this forum.
"Service providers" are the best fit for such a request.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
