The reputation of vb.org and coders here is bashed by Mr X...

In the last weeks, i was hit by bad reputations comments coming from some of my "new" clients, because they (12 and counting) were stolen by Mr.X ...

most of the client i had lately were persons who posted their "Requests For Paid Services" ... and were answered by "Mr. X"... he answered their requests and required to be paid before the release of the result... they ALL were frustrated by this guy because he never released the codes or works requested by the clients...

and lately, i've read in one thread here that his work was commented ... he himself tried to protect himself by making a story about stupid facts... but how 12 or more people can be tricked with a stupid fact each time?!

the clients i faced were all requesting to be refund, but they are not protected here... this is one of the place where i focus on security... Paid Services have to be protected someway for some reasons:
When a client is fooled,

• the whole community of coders is reputated to be tricky.
• the risk to have complaints grow each time... do we like flames?
• i loose a client, and maybe a good contact for the future.
• vbulletin.org have a growing reputation of non-secure work...

i know that a "lot" of discussions were written about a place for commercials and services, but really, i can say that it is the slowest process ever made on the internet?!... not a single result was given actually, and the debate will come again from time to time, because a lot of coders are touched by this situation, not only me...

i'm starting my own service for vBulletin admins, and actually, 5 or 6 (i have no memory) other coders from this site here are asking to join my company so they can provide services and resources commercially... is it what will be necessary ?!.. vbulletin coders deserting the boat to go elsewhere and be respected by the clients as fair coders? (actually i refused the offers, i'm a loner!)

i'm bored to be noted as a coder from a community where there is no security for my clients... my reputation is not touched because i have a longtime name on the internet, but when i talk to some clients about going asking for paid services on vb.org, they all refuse... reputation for the site is going down, and i don't care if you did not notice a thing... people are not coming back when they are fooled usually...
