vBulletin 3.6 Quick Tips and Customizations - What is Permitted

[Jose Amaral Rego]

I am a bit confuse in what is allowed and what is not in this section.

I know direct file editing is one, but are not the use of plugins another. I do not know what vBulletin Staff definition of 'Customizations' and would like to know, as my interpretation is quite different.

The tips forum is basically for quick hints and tips on how to manage and operate vBulletin. This includes - where do I find this feature, option, setting,.. or how to go about doing frequently asked question stuff.. It's not meant for drastic customizations that are basically modifications to vBulletin. I tend to not allow template mods that change a design or can be considered addons. They are moved to the template forum we have, and recommended to go to vborg for publication.

There is a grey area, such as ' how to add a banner', or 'how to add adsense between posts'. Those are common questions that don't drastically change vB and are things customers want.

The staff knows where this line lies a bit, and therefor we moderate the entries and either allow it or move it somewhere else. Each staff member does it a bit different, so I do notice that quite a few mods that are more 'mods' then a 'tip' gets in.
