Where vB is going wrong

[Princeton]

You Should Know...

As an administrator or staff member of your own vbulletin-powered site you should understand that:

• people have different learning curves
  • some learn visually,
  • others learn verbally,
  • others are hands on
• people come from all over the world (the WEB is a big melting pot)
  • it's difficult for some to communicate but they try ... I have even seen a few instances where these hard-to-communicate-people share their own modifications on this board
• people will post anything anytime ... you don't have to respond - IGNORE IT ... really, it's that simple
• people are not perfect - do not tell them how to speak or write
  • some people are sensitive - you may be helping them or you may be pushing them away ... bite your tongue someone else will do it
  • if it's an article or tutorial-style post then it's ok to correct spelling (send a pm) ... the author will appreciate it
• if a thread is derogatory, misleading, or against site rules you should delete it don't just close it ... it doesn't matter how many posts exists
• if a post is derogatory, misleading, or against site rules you should delete it

If you don't understand any of this:

• then you will never reach full potential
• then you don't belong here
• sorry, just ignore

Posting A Request

If you are putting in a request make sure you post details and a budget

• if you want something free ... don't expect it
• if it doesn't make sense, you will not get any takers
• if you only offer $50 for a 20 hour project you will not get any replies or you will get replies from .. let's just say that you will get what you pay for

If you are a coder and servicing a request make sure the other party knows everything up front (cost, rights, etc) ... it will save you time and headaches

vbulletin.org is available for everyone.

vbulletin.org is a community about everything that deals with vBulletin or at least it should be. For example, modifications, products, addons, styles, articles, tutorials, forum subjects regarding community building, etc, etc
