Regardless of what they say, you really don't know what the final outcome will be.
eg. They could turn around and do the opposite of what they say.
Request should ask for whatever it is that they are seeking (eg. testers, writers, etc) and describe the product without putting a name to it.
My only concern here is this - I don't like it when you get a coder asking for Beta Testers, while at the same time not giving much other information about things. Beta Testers play an important roll in helping to iron out bugs and offer the server and forum software for free to help a coder release a good hack free of bugs.
They should get rewarded for this, I just don't think it's fair when a coder says: (Hey I need some beta testers, anybody up for it). Then after testings complete, they come out and say the hack will cost so much to buy!
I would prefare to see a site guidline introduced were things have to be made much more clear by coders asking for Beta Testers free services, so they are not fooled into thinking the hacks going to be free when it's not in the end.
Which they will have to buy even after beta testing.
