Hi,
Why is it that when I buy a mod (which in many cases is not cheap) do I then have to spend half my life trying to get the bugs in it fixed?
You know, there is a saying.... "The customer is always right." IF customers keep getting untested, unreliable mods there will be no customers... which means there qwill be no Boonex! I have many mods, 90% of which have bugs and do NOT do as expressed in the market information! I have found even more just thismorning. I have been with Boonex for just 4 months, and am already thinking of migrating to JomSocial, as are others I know of.
At the very least Boonex should not authorize a mod for the market until it has passed a very stringent beta testing phase that should be controlled, monitored and audited by Boonex. Only when a product works should it be allowed onto the market.
As it stands, I have blocks that do NOT pull or display the data they are supposed to. I have competitions my customers can't enter because they have more holes in them than swiss Cheese. Practicaly every page of my site has a fault with somthing that does not do what it said on the tin!
And another thing..... Us users do not want 10 different points systems and 10 different credit systems! We want a universal points and credit system that works with all mods regardless of who developed them. I know Dolphin has an elert engine, so couldnt all poins systems HAVE to use this, so atleast they may be compatible?
Developers... I am a customer... I pay you.... like it or not, thats how it is.... Please test your products before you release them... When i find a bug don't get the ass over it... just put it right and release a patch or somthing.
Boonex... Please introduce a compulsory beta testing phase for ALL mods before you authorise them. It may slow down mod to market times, but atleast they will work when they get there.
I fell strangely better now.....
Nathan
