Is there any kind of page with warnings of known users on here? I never noticed any...
I too think some kind of program/forum should be develpoed that a coder/hacker earns ratings on his installement that "us" users feed to...the same could got for the installies (is that such a word) can be warned about if they never paid for such work.
Like a persons screen name is added, and I would give him/her a good rating and it lists who has voted. This way you can't duplicate posts (like you can only vote once her job). And vise versa, like if a coder finished a job he lists that person screen name and puts his/her commits. This way coders can know who is worthy of having there site worked on ot not,cause I am sure some coders have been screwd as well.
I don't want to see the service paid section not be here. I would be completly lost with out such a service. I know one can do with just the simple boring vb but I love the added features that spice up the forums and it would be a miracle if I ever completed just a thing....:-)

Don't do way with a good thing just because of a few bad apples, many more are still in the tree. :-)

No the quote from your post, Brent Wilsons. 75$ is quite a bit of money for some people, especially if they rarely buy stuff online (or never have before), discourages them. If I lost 75$ to some punk I'd be mad and make sure something is done.
Yeah, I totally understand that. My son is 17, works very hard to pay his monthy car insurance and gas money. I would be livid if I found out someone ripped him off too.

You really should contact paypal. If he has a track record for ripping off others then his paypal account might get closed.

Again good luck....don't let this go unreolved, go after this "hate" person. Thius way others won't go through the same thing you did.

We may consider a feedback system. But such a system is not perfect and open to abuse.

Remember, the Paid Requests forum is there because people wanted it - most members get good work done through it, and most freelancers are honest.

Just be very careful. Personally, I won't pay until I get my product. You pay people AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you get ripped off, contact your local authorities. Neither vB.org, vB.com or Jelsoft, or really, anyone else, should be responsible. You are responsible for your own actions.

By the way, the member who "ripped off" the other member has been dealt with.

Cheers!
a certain freelancer site has also recently cancelled this system because it probably is also open to abuse

the best system is caution

Of course to you it does... you lye with vb.

I dont lye with them. Bend over, take it dry what ever you want to call it.
They are lazy. Any other company will simply do the requests them selves. done. No need for scammers. Or tell you to goto a place where you can get scammed under their service name.
Your a smart guy. Yeah.
Thru the roof. what ever. charge to get it done.

Sorry, don't get where you are coming from.

We support only default, code that you download. If you and others want modifications, you are free to do it yourself, by what the people here provide.

No one, NO ONE, is twisting your arm telling you to pay someone to make the modifications to your board. Take some time, read the hack install file, do the work. Its not hard. Granted you want custom applicaitons, find a quailified php programmer who knows php and mysqls ins and outs, and have him develop it.

The thing is ALOT of people have very good results with the service requests here at vBulletin.org. Sadly there are evil people in this world, and if you do not take the time to investigate and ensure that the person who you are paying is qualified to do what you ask. Then you might get left high and dry.

I can't think of too many software companys that will add the code you want to their code. They will tell you to go do it yourself, if you are even allowed to view the source code.

Also, please refrain from every again post such rude and lude comments on this board.

a) The word is 'lie'. "Lye" is an ingredient used in making soap. AFAIK, I have never soaped any member of vB.

b) Bollocks. "Hello, microsoft? I need my XP to automatically connect to mozilla.com every day and download the latest version of Firefox and install it. You'll do this for me because I am asking you to, right?"

Not going to happen.

c) vbuletin.org is NOT vbulletin's "Service Name", it is a community of people who either enjoy making modifications to the product, or enjoy installing said modifications.

d) Smart enough to understand that companies have policies for a reason, and that to make custom changes to the default install when requested would push the price up for all other customers. (Oh, and to spell correctly).

You seem to have a serious issue with something (probably the fact that your inital request was declined based on the fact that vBulletin does not come in any state other than stock.).. you need to either grow a brain or stop bleating about it.
