but we ain't politicians buddy !!!
we are just contributors and collaborators who spend our time for the sake of the community not for any kind of profit or fame.
To be honest I've not looked at the
price update form - I usually copy and paste all the prices I get through forum posts/websites/different sources in a text file and post them when I can get some time to update the
hardware price sheet
it's really hard for me to remember who have posted what price and this will slow down the entire process and waste my time.
back in the days when only comp@ddict was updating this forum post with prices nobody asked for name credits. Do you really thing it was possible for him to mention every members name who have posted what price on the thread starting page. So nobody asked for such small things like their own user name to be listed on the front page.
now Nitin got his name mentioned on the price list and you have not -
is it really a big deal you should care ?
We are always thankful to the user who posts the prices on forums and that's why I've thanked you for the prices.
Same user with same or different user name can exists on several forum. So if two forum has two different people with same user name it will be really hard to decide who have posted the a particular price of a product by just looking at the name the price list.
Say two forum 1 and Forum 2 has user named A but they are different people B and C.
B is known as A on F1 and C is known as A on F2. Now B has posted a price on F1 but C is claiming that the price is posted by him on F1.
Now the price updater name is mentioned on the price list as A - now just looking at the price list can a user ( say XYZ ) really tell who have actually posted the price ?
It will create a lot of confusion on the general user who just want to know a price and if B and C is the meber of F2 and F1 respectively they will sure start a fight for name fame.
Now I've a suggestion - (
Sorcerer you are the one who can make it happen it by telling all the collaborators )
So I think collaborators names should be mentioned only as they are the people who have the main responsibility about the price list.
Collaborators names are clearly mentioned on the hardware price list and they are only a few and it's clearly mentioned from which forum they are. So It will keep every thing simple, will not create any kind of confusion and will not create a dispute about name credit.
