Hello there,
I know I’m not the most recognized user on this website or an important user like an admin or a moderator but please bear with me and take a little bit of your time to go through this chunk of text.
The only reason I’m taking my time to write this is because I seriously believe not only the forums but OsBot as a company needs to somehow regulate scripters and the way money is received from script purchases.
Why I think this? Recently I purchased Toph’s slayer, used it for 2 days and became nothing but garbage. The most “complex” script and probably one of the most expensive ones too is completely useless. The scripter apparently left and stopped developing and updating it. I don’t have access to the amount of purchases it had but I do believe it was REALLY high.
In my opinion he can’t simply leave after getting some money with no explanation at all. Administrators should (Just like Apple) charge $$$ to those who want their scripts to be released onto the SDN. Why? This will stop scripter from leaving after receiving a decent amount of money (or at least should stop them until they recuperate what they invested). Another solution that could work along with this one is NEVER giving all the profit instantly with every purchase to the scripter. He should only be able to take chunks of the profit every X period of time and if he wants to take ALL of it without a proper explanation the administrators have the right to use the source code and even assign someone they know can handle the project to keep it alive.
NOTE: For those scripts that have a price and aren’t on the SDN I don’t know how it can be handled.
Any constructive criticism is received and please no flaming. I know, together, we can bring a solution to this important issue on the website. Administrators should understand that if the users feel safe before and after purchasing a script an increment in sales should be visible.
Thank you for your time,
Fareown
