Title: Before you post a REQUEST topic. [READ]
Post by: Falcon on January 27, 2008, 02:31:38 AM
Please, before you post a script request, consider the following.

1. Look in the damn script database!
I seriously want to hurt anyone who asks for something like the caterpillar script, when it's in the database, the place where all useful scripts go. ALSO: some scripts have common acronyms that will help you in your search. Please see Common RPG Acronyms (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,19947.0.html) to make sure you have the correct terminology when searching.

2. Search other forums!
Please, before posting a request, take the time to go to hbgames.org or creationaslyum.net and look through their script database, they have a lot more scripts then we do here. Link to the .org script archive is below.

3. Go in to detail.
If your asking for a system, post mock ups and whatnot, there are very few scripters here, and you have a much better chance of getting your request fuffiled if you can post screenshots and go in to detail. Don't just say "I need a Lufia CMS", some people probably haven't played Lufia, so post screenshots and whatnot.

4. Make sure this has to be a script.
Nothing pisses me off more than someone who could easily make an event for their system, but instead wants a script. There are a lot of things events can do, so fool around with those before you make a request.

5. Don't be a leecher!
Don't bother to post a script request if you have no more than ten posts. Most of us hate leecher who come, request resources, get their requests, and leave. If people know who you are, you have a much better chance of getting your request finished.

6. Use tags.
From now on, I'll be enforcing the following tags which should go in the title of your request.
[RESOLVED] Your request was completed.
[RESERVED] A scripter has taken the request, but it has not been completed yet.
[AVAILABLE] or [REQUEST] No one has taken this request.
You have 24 hours to change the tag; starting once you have posted in the topic, and a change is necessary.

7. All of the Script Forum Rules.

Anyone who ignores these rules will have one strike, then I fuck up their posts.
