Hello guys, so I took one project. I done first 50% without any problems, then I needed help bescause I'm not really good at backend dev. - I needed little help with php, I was ready to pay for it of course and finish project on time. Then some member from this forum called me scum and other nasty words, I'm soo wrong? I thought I will be able to do it alone, but then I found out I need little help, is that soo wrong? It's not like I taken project without knowing anything to do and outscore full project to someone else..
I'm soo wrong?
- Thread starter newblacky
- Start date
I just loking here for answer, is that soo wrong? I actually belive that even if I couldn't do anything and if I deliver work to my clients that is good enough for all of us, right? Still that is not case, I done biggest part of job by myself, only I have problem with this php script.

Congratulations on doing the biggest part yourself. #1 Achiever. You do realise there is absolutely zero interest for anyone else on this project right? Create a thread looking for a coder and offer an hourly rate. I guarantee you will not receive any negative response by approaching it correctly.

You did not do anything wrong, half the people here have someone else do plenty of their work.
The problem that you fell into is that some people seem to be on this forum just to jump on people. A lot of peopel jump into a project that they have no idea how to do. This a far different than encountering a problem you need help with.
If you offered to hire the person you needed, the person who jumped on you should be told to STFU.

Actually I made thread, asked for help, I would pay of course and then I got on that coder that said me that is totaly wrong and said me lot of bad things. Now I wounder if I'm okay or he is. Bescause I wouldn't like to scam anyone.
Thanks! I really love to hear this kind of words, I belive his biggest problem was that he didn't get a job or idk..

I would be very intrigued to find the thread you are referencing. I checked your history over the last month and couldnt find any mention of paying someone to code for you. Just loads of questions around incredibly vague topics, ended off with a bit of butt hurt about how no one was helping you out.
Actually it is deleted now, I requested bescause that guy started spamming out there.

Do remember to put it in the "hire a freelancer" section, if you have a specific problem that needs to be solved.
If you need information or help, simply say "I have a project that I am working on and I need a little help with something" instead of "I took a job and can't do it".
There is also a button at the bottom of the post box that says "Report Post".
If someone starts acting the ass, report them. If their conduct is acceptable, no harm will come of it, and if they are out of line, a mod will be nice and explain exactly what they did wrong.
If it turns out that you are out of line, then the mod will be nice enough to explain exactly what you did wrong, too.
Using the "report post" button actually improves this forum everyday, from spam to assholes, it keeps them both at bay, and teaches manners to those who have not learned them yet.
It straightened my ass out when I called someone a Dumbfu**. I seldom do that anymore.
I can be taught.

OP, you were just unlucky. Post it again in the WTH section and a lot of people will contact you about the work, choose anyone of them who you think is most suitable for it.
