Do you agree?

[iHatton]

Hello,

Firstly, these questions are to Paul M. Why do you advise people don't add others to their priority list? All I would be doing is creating and dishing out content for other users. Like said many times before, my license has expired and before I renew it I would like to focus on creating some content for vBulletin users. Secondly, the previous post you closed of mine was a legitimate discussion, why did you close it? Thirdly, you said that granting people exceptions to post content for other users would defeat the whole purpose, what purpose? Elaborate on the purpose please.

All I asked was for a user to add me to their priority list for me to create some content for users as my license had expired and do not plan on getting another till the end of this year. People should think of me and others who respect and agree with my view as being generous, as many people would just give up and go elsewhere. I COULD use another forum software if you wish and just start up my own content forum, but as I said before, I do not have the funds for vBulletin at this time and would like to continue making content for the community.

I would like to know what people think of this. Should users without a license (such as myself) be able to create content for other users to use?

Also, users WITHOUT a license should NOT be allowed to download and view attachments or code like it is now, but we should have the right to open our OWN content threads, but not view others. I hope you understand what I mean.

I want peoples views, thanks.

PS: This IS a legitimate discussion.

He gives this advise as the actions of a user on your Priority Support list could reflect on your license. If for example a user on your list uses his access to run a unlicensed site, distribute vBulletin or modificitions on a warez etc, extremly misbehaves on our forums, etc the license owner might loose his own licensed access.

The thread itself is against our rules as we do not allow for solliciting. Paul was being considerate by not deleting it but only closing.

The purpose of having a license check in order to give only users with a valid lciense access to our resources.

The answers above are general and not aimed at your specific situation or you as an individual.

And yes often the few goodwilling individuals will have restrictions placed on them because of a larger group of people who want to abuse the system.
