It gets tiring having to keep pointing out the obvious to people. May look retentive, but if you don't point the OP back to how to request, then they never will post correctly.
Also, adding the necessary info helps out future software seekers, by being able to locate the developers website. They can then seek additional info, missing from the post, and be able to determine if such an app may suit their needs.
The other sites I mod at. Keeps always referring people back to the FAQ's, plus pointing out the rules number. It is not this forum only that does this.
I would like to either, make it so each request must be approved/authorized before posted, or make it members only, or possibly having a waiting board, where those requests not properly filled in, get moved to, until they are corrected and can be added back into the Request board.
This way if those on hold are already asked for requests, then can quickly be merged in to existing threads.
Overall, there are not many members requesting apps. The majority of requests come from guest posters. Thats something that those people like, not having to sign up for yet another board. Signing up for boards can be a bother to some. They just want to post now. Get their app now. Thats understandable. But it is also understandable that the regulars here are willing to spend their time helping out someone if that someone just takes the first few steps.
