Default Coders Response to Service Requests

I am curious as to the reason(s) why some Coders do not respond to Service Requests.

Well, there are many reasons for sometimes coders not responding, : Too busy, dont know how to do it, dont trust the person asking for it to be done, ect..many reasons

Usually stacked with work already, think the pay is too low, or feel requestee doesn't seem like the type of person I'd want to do business with.

I very rarely do custom work, mostly because I don't have the time (or the need).

I respond to alot of requests - However the majority of requests posted provide next to no details of what they actually need done. If you watch you'll see the requests from people that thoroughly document their posts get picked up really quickly. The ones that are just little one liner "I need a custom hack." posts are usually bumped 4-5 times and have been left unfilled for months. Also, from a personal standpoint, I try to avoid anything that is written sloppily or in poor english - Especially when it's a design request as most design requests require alot of detailed communication.

I just simply don't have the time right now, when I'm free I try to answer service requests though.

im too busy with personal things and personal projects. also the pay is way too low on this ppl, want things installed for $5 or want a hack that should cost $75 at least for $20. these are the people who have no conception of coding and most likely 0 to none web coding knowledge. sometimes i regret vbulletin so easy to use:P

Indeed - I selected I'm too busy, The pay is too low and The requests are not specific enough as my reasons for not responding...

Like AN-net, you can tell who and who not to help by their grammar as one thing, and the amount of posts they have here - People who can't string a sentence together and have less than 50 posts I won't even stop to try and understand their post, unless I know them
