Bump Request

[Dredd]

It would be nice if we could spend part of our sbenny cash into bumping our requests. So the modders would get most of the cash spent into bumping the request.

For example: I requested modded apk for X game - I put 1000 sbenny cash into getting it.

I don't know if that would be possible.

Interesting! But what would happen if the mod can't be made or the project is dropped? or if it takes too long? How long is too long? The idea is cool but we need the small print xD

Ideally, the cash would only be charged if someone accepted the request. Maybe a week or two before expires and someone else could take it?

A-ha! And what about guarantees? For instance, assume a project is financed and there's a delivered product, all nice so far! but the developer releases a hotpatch that renders the mod useless in less than a week after the release of said product.
What would happen then? is the support for the short lived mod taken into account or not and it starts from scratch? Are there tiers like "if you pay SB500 you get an insurance of 3 weeks" or something like that?

Details but the general idea is nice!

Probably the ADM would be best suited to help with this in this case. Maybe you'll get the SB Points when you posted the mod for that request and answer with the functional link?

Requests don't cost 1000 SB Points, so if you were charged that much for a single mod, it was because you wasted SB Points reopening the request. The requests are processed in the order they are received, so if you posted a request a month ago, there may still be other mods ahead of it. Any mod that has gone 6 months without being able to be successfully modded gets rejected after one final attempt to mod.

Your 100 SB Points that you pay for the request guarantees you that someone will look into modding it and try their best to release a mod, this is not a guarantee you will get one. You can find this outlined in the Requests Official Rules! There are not any ways to bump requests, because that would be unfair to the other people who submitted them before you.

Something like that wouldn't work because not all games have the ability to be modded. Some are server sided and impossible. Modders don't have the capability to send SB Points so they wouldn't be able to refund you. Where as if you pay for a mod request, you are paying to request that someone looks into it. It is not a guarantee because we cannot guarantee how something will work until we look into it.

Soooo.... Being a VIP is the way to go then.
(Sounds reasonable, as VIP cost real money.)

Wait~ so what happen when the VIP expire and the mod is not made(?) ;
Example:
A person with 30 days VIP made a request a day before it expire, will that still count as a priority request?

 

[CordeliaCross]

The request will still be there

 

[Mark A]

Thank you, that was a super quick response time.
Good day~ @CordeliaCross by the way.

 

[Dredd]

I understand. Even though would be a nice way to "inspire" modders and it could work as a middle ground between those who cant afford the vip and those who are active on the forum.

Thanks for the answers @CordeliaCross .

 

[CordeliaCross]

Have a nice night @Mark A i'm glad I could help. My secret is that I have email alerts set up for most things so I can still be active on the go. XD

Cordy goes for the knockout on the first round xD hahaha ok! Idea, discarded!

 

[Dredd]
