Well hello firstly to all readers , Since im new here i dont know anything like this has been done. (Since my search doesnt give answers). I have been seeing people selling database's scripts etc. We all know that warez site give and support such thing in givin acces of Db's , Script's. Because of this i saw rather today that people are using these sites and selling things to others who probably dont know about the warez's. It bothered me , so im asking something more better for dp to get better in copy paste db's or articles or scripts. What can we do about this problem. The feedbacks might bring us a way to solve this problem. Thanks for taking time to read my suggestion. Regards Alis
There isn't much that can be done since we will never know for sure whether a script is legit or not. In the end it's the buyer's responsibility to know what they are buying.
Couldnt be the member forced to show a live demo or give a list of the documents to check it if is legit or not ?
In principle, yes. In practice, no. On the scale of DP with its tens of thousands of members, all changes have to be implemented programmatically. If you can't facilitate an idea via a simple set of rules (if this, then this) it's not going to work well. In this instance, obstacles would be how would the VB software know when a thread is about selling a script and when about selling just content? How can you actually make people show a demo? How to enforce it? If it takes human judgement it's probably not going to happen.
Your absolutley correct at that point no offence , Then we could force people on the buy sell board section to do a forcement in showing live demo. Jellysoft gave me idea. A particular group of moderators or supermods could check demo (Who have the knowledge of warez's) and after the checking , they would release a info that the product is legable.. (Im just trying to be usefull because this is quite good place to be harmed for such things in other case i will dicease the scammers in their own topics) (There are scammers who are trying to sell recently)...
The i-trader system can help the buyer (and seller) evaluate the member in question. If they have a lot of negative feedback avoid doing business with them.
If I am selling a script package that has over 200 scripts, you would expect me to put a demo of each script up>???? That aint going to happen! Not even ebay will tell a seller to have demos of everything sold. Or how about a package of 50 ebooks? You would want to see each one on it's own site (or page)? If I was selling one nice big script, with the expectations of getting big bucks for it, yes, I would put up a demo. Yes, the itrader helps a lot. No itrader or low itrader could mean the seller just started, just as honest as a seller with 100 itrader points. That is the whole point, check before you buy. Found on this forum, if someone is shady, they do not last too long.
Yeah i know the i-trade its good and its releif but , only in suggestion i dont think that is enough , im not telling to publish every script on demo im just saying that giving the script names would give the people more information about the scripts or the template or the databese. By checking over serch engine's . People could find more information about the contents witch will be more legable in my suggestion.. @iowadawg You absolutley correct but im trying connect people to a better future its your wright (to share or not share information)
There are illegal copies available for almsot everything ever. I think it'd be way too much for the mods or even a team of mods to manage. Like Tops said..human judgement is almost the only answer to this. if I am about to buy something, I looked at other posts made by the person (not just in the buy sell and trade but also other places gives a pretty good idea of the person..more helpful than itrader IMO.)
That's the problem, not the solution IMO. It's all nice and dandy being a volunteer mod but that solution would add hours more work on the plate. To reward those who invest their time and expertise just to keep this a clean place, you'd have to incentivise them beyond just the coolness of being a mod. Money probably. So then you go the SitePoint route, charging for sales threads. Which means Shawn has to hire an accountant and everything needs to be audited. Then you get the hassle of disputes, refunds etc. As long as eveything is free, you're not bound my anything. As soon as you start charging, that's when hell breaks loose.
Yeah, your correct well this is my idea or a review about a such problem i believe we have to face with and live with it untill another idea of solving such action.. Thanks every1
