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
