I participate on other forums too. Some folks solicit commercial services for a fee on these forums despite being strictly prohibited by Rules. I was openly objecting to this abuse. The guy in retaliation contacted every software developer around the world we discussed on that forum asking them not to improve their free packages. The motif is clear - he was facing loss of illegal income. He might be a member of this forum too. However, he’s not the only one.
Some “free” soft devs abuse access to users sharing knowledge on such forums to develop improved software they offer for a fee to some companies. The technique is primitive: complain that you’re poor, incapable to survive, solicit samples and detail info about the problem and expected resolution from narrow knowledge holders, do all this by extending fake promises, and once collected enough info, show your real face to the forum. That works well too for some, if such conduct is allowed by the forum admins.
Another interesting possibility is using this forum to advertise skills you don’t actually have. For example, one can use a popular graphics editor to cleanup someone’s sample, and then say they developed their own code to do that. Of course when asked to show such a code, a suitable answer will be what? Empty handed… substitute proof by some rude redirection.
I want to tell you btw that you should address people in the manner they address you. You can’t dictate people what to do, can’t be rude - its against forum rules, and don’t give unsolicited advice when asked about totally different matters. I did not scan these pages at all, because the source doesn’t have an accessible scanner. Its clear from my above notes and the photos, so your comments about scans are not only unsolicited, but also irrelevant to the conversation and quite stupid to be honest.
This is a very bad habit, don’t ask people to be rude with you by abusing access to forum members and their polite honest attitude.
