BOUNTY REQUESTS
Discussions should remain on topic. Make sure to read over our Community Guidelines. Please review the information below before creating a topic or posting a reply.
Rules for Requesters
-
Be respectful and understanding to the comments of other developers and users.
-
Be respectful in any other interaction originating from the cogboard.
-
You are not required to disclose any final payments, however letting prospective developers know what you are willing to spend in your topic can attract developers or indicate your seriousness.
-
Do not request for any sort of malicious code.
-
Do not ask for a developer to modify another developer’s code, cog, or source if the creator’s license disallows it. If the modifications are allowed under the license and the cog uses Config or other methods of data storage, the data must be separate from the original cog’s data to preserve the original cog author’s data structure, removing the burden of the original cog author for any implied potential support. You must also modify the info.json to note that it is a modification and add yourself to the author list. Modifications within the cog’s top-level docstring to show that it is a fork or not the original cog are also required. Please see the Suggestions section for an ideal practice for this situation.
-
Please check the approved cogs list to make sure your request is not a duplicate.
-
Please used the solved feature to indicate if a developer has successfully provided adequate service.
-
Do not ask for any requests that violate the Discord, Cog Board, or Red-DiscordBot Terms of Service. An example of the Red-DiscordBot Terms of Service could be, but is not limited to: asking for a way to remove license info from Red.
Rules for Developers
-
Be respectful to the ideas and thoughts of the requester.
-
Be respectful to other developers who may be seeking more information or a bid for services.
-
Be respectful in any other interaction originating from the cogboard.
-
You are not required to disclose any payment amounts.
-
Flag topics that are requesting malicious code.
-
We highly recommend that you create your own terms of service before committing to any work.
-
Do not take any requests that violate the Discord, Cog Board, or Red-DiscordBot Terms of Service. An example of the Red-DiscordBot Terms of Service could be, but is not limited to: providing a user with a way to remove license info from Red.
Suggestions
-
In the case of modifying existing cogs, start out by asking the original cog creator for modifications via their repo issues or other methods of communication they mention on their repo’s README. If the original cog creator agrees with you on adding the feature(s), this is a more preferential path to the Quality Assurance team than requesting modification via another developer.
-
Consider writing a follow-up post on the topic to rate your experience with the requester or developer.
Failure of Payment or Service
If a developer does not release the software under the terms they provided after payment has been issued by the requester, you may send a message to an administrator for an investigation. Likewise, if a requester has not paid you, the developer, for services rendered, please send an administrator a message.
We will conduct an investigation that may result in a ban or suspension from Cog Board. Cog Board is not responsible for any loss of funds, software, property, content, or lack thereof.
