Facebook style chat

That was a bad moderation choice IMO. You'd have been much better off to move the thread to the paid services forum, if that's the only place it would have been suitable.

yes surely an unfair decision I think, it's not like the guy was being dishonest with his product.

Like I said, if you want to post to get this modification made for you, feel free to post in the Paid Requests area.

If you don't feel this thread should have been moderated in that way, feel free to take it up with an Admin.

so to be clear in the future...

people can ask for mods, you cant present mods when people are asking for a mod to do so-and-so. (if they arent free)

Is this correct? Kind of sucks if thats the case because people will all be asking for mods for their site when there are solutions out there.

If thats the rule, thats the rule.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking and I'd like to answer the question for you. Perhaps this will help...

You may post asking for a mod. However, if you are offering money ("I'll pay $$$ for a mod that does this" "I'll donate $$$ for a mod that does this" type posts), it needs to be in the Paid Mods forum. A thread trying to gather people together to pay to get a mod done isn't allowed here either.

And then, there is the whole advertising a paid mod here ("I've made this mod available here - mywebsite.com - and it costs $$$"). That is against the rules also.

Both of those types of posts were filling the second half of this thread. Then there were several posts quoting someone offering money, or the post advertising the paid mod and so those got removed also. There were also several posts talking about features they want added to the paid mod. I basically removed all of those. That left some posts like "Yeah, I agree" or other types of posts that made no sense once the post before it was removed, so I got rid of those. Like I said, basically the second half of the thread was removed because of all the mention of payment and advertising of the mod.

I don't think anyone on the Mod team was actively reading this thread or it would have been stopped long ago.

What would happen if this whole thread was simply moved to the Paid Mods forum?

[TNCclubman]

Thats where I think a problem happens because you cant reply to posts in that forum.

Is there a place on the net that has all vbulletin 'paid' mods listed? Would save people alot of time posting for mod requests if they already exist.

[Lynne]

Other users can't reply to threads in the Paid Mods forum - only the thread started may reply.

I really don't know of any list of paid mods. Whenever I've looked for them, I just try to google for them and sometimes get luckily with the key words I entered.

Hello,

I was not aware of the rules. Can you please suggest the appropriate way to inform people about the CometChat mod?

Thank you,
Anant

normaly the developer have a link in there signature and they make some free mods(or light versions)^^

thats the best way of advertising(hope thats the right word)

all other are making the users themself(if there happy with the product, they'll send others to your site,etc)
