Guys. Just a suggestion. I'm sure all the pros and devs have had a client who won't pay at some point. Or, a client who pays after you've chased them up for ages. I think to help protect pros. devs and extension creators it might be worth having a more prominent thread to name and shame them and help stop us all wasting our valauble professional time. Does anyone think this is a good idea. Yes I see there are is a place we can post about being ripped off and the copying of work etc but I thought a forum called "Non Paying Clients" or "Difficult Clients" might help us avoid the wronguns. Money's tight especially in these difficult times and we all need to eat. Nobody wants to waste their time for nothing but bad feeling Just an idea. If it's got no legs or is already covered enough feel free to say.

I think that is a very good idea johnp,
There is a forum thread for people being ripped off by bad/scam developers so why not bad clients

Thanks for the vote of confidence Cyclops. I've got a few as I'm sure others have. Maybe pros and devs could scan the proposed forun and pass by any that are bad payers and/or constantly need chasing.

There's two straight away to avoid then. If pros and devs start avoiding bad clients maybe they'll clean up their act.

I'll pass them by if they ever get it touch. Paul Feakins is a good guy. I'll take his word any day.
