My real-life question which seems to be neglected is... someone comes asking for a 100 point step solution in the free forum >> directed to CSF >> buys $100 of credit because that's what they think the solution is worth (here comes the fun part)
a) (S)he gets the solution + person who provided the solution gets $75 + Vai gets $25 = Everyone is happy
b) (S)he doesn't get a solution or gets a solution that doesn't meet their expectations
b.1 Decides not pay... oh, oh, the person who spent hours preparing the solution is not happy but Vai gets $25 = Vai is happy... everyone else is not
b.2 Decides to pay even though not satisfied = mod + Vai are happy... OP is not
b.3 Month is over, but solution is not finished... OP has already lost $25 (went to Vai) and has to buy more credits to pay for the solution that is in progress = ?? on happiness except for Vai who is getting paid every month regardless of whether or not a solution is provided
**** Dare I enter the realm of possibilities where the admins/ mod decide to take money from an OP to resolve a dispute when they (not the OP) decide that the solution is complete and that the OP should pony up what they promised for the solution
Are there any contingency plans for these scenarios. Has anyone actually spent time thinking about things that can and will go wrong from time to time. This isn't the same as the server is slow so we will let the tech team know. Alot of the moderators/ Gurus are well known in the community and for them to be brought into these issues without a safety net would be irresponsible.
Maybe there is a plan... maybe people are burning the midnight oil putting together scenarios and action plans... I don't know because no one ever says anything.
