clarification of what's allowed

[dominicanpapi82]

Is posting requests for services, such as website translations, allowed?

Anything not specifically prohibited is mandatory...

I don't see anything wrong with that, but then, I'm not a mod. If you don't see that it is prohibited on one of the sticky posts at the top of this section, then you're probably safe.

Thanks. I suspect it's allowed, but I didn't see any services request posts. Since I'm asking for a translation of an antispam site, the last thing I want to do is spam this forum!!

interesting question, can't wait to see what a mod says because I thought we only allowed listings for tangible items not services. The FAQ's and the trader's rules (Traders' Rules, Tips, & Tools) don't specifically say you can't ask for services however it does say I can't post advertisement for my services and everyone of the rules seems to lean towards only selling or trading tangible items.

I will say this though, posting this question here in the fs/ft forum is the wrong thing to do you should have pm'ed a moderator.

I don't know if I agree. It's not spammy, and people other than me can discuss as well as read the reply.

No, you can't post services for sale/trade or make requests for such either.

Hey, ER, what about graphics? If the end design is the "product" then I would say that the translation would serve as a similar "product." I was under the impression that you were allowed to ask for custom graphics.

[EvilRick]

We do allow that. But you can see how you get an end product.

Kind of like when people request a certain lenght of CAT5 cable or the like. There's a tangible item in the end. It's not open to continued or on-going service.

Now if someone were to say, ask for help with a web page over in the Tech Support forum. What goes on in PMs after the initial post is nobody's business but the PM-ers. I don't see why anybody couldn't just go and ask for help and then what transpires is their business.
