I know that programming is a hobby for you and not your main expertise, but please consider your customers or other programmers when releasing your paid plugins for free or implementing ideas.
It's not a problem from a legal perspective, but I'm saying it from an ethical perspective, because I personally crossed out plugins that you previously wrote for non-free from my list of free (or non-free) plugins. (Like Contract system)

Be successful and victorious.

Hi, I will not reply to your PM and instead reply to you here publicly as you initiated.

Here is a quote from the original author from where I based my plugin initially:

I did a search for your threads here and your plugin that you seem to compare mine with seems to be from 2021...

I decide what to code since 13 years ago when I coded my first plugin.

You have said multiple times, privately, that you do not see me as a competitor. You frequently imply I'm somehow "new" to this community (compared to you, at least?). Both statements seem to contradict behaviour and facts, respectively.

Feel free to release similar plugins to mine, if they are free plugins, you even can take code from my plugins as long as you respect the licence.

I do not only sell or contribute free plugins, I do sell the quality of my work and I do similar quality for free.

Lastly, Mostafa I might try my best to behave accordingly to my position in this community and might avoid public communication when moderating. But be sure that I will not be as tolerant if you direct yourself directly to me as a developer.

For anyone reading this exchange of comments, I would like to ask you to avoid commenting on any behalf unless you feel it is really necessary.

Regards.

Obviously I'm talking about active plugins for MyBB 1.8 , I did not see your whole github and I only talked based on Extend Section and paid plugins in here
I didn't say this was my own idea. 
I said that for example when you put the contract plugin up for sale , I did not create it as free or paid plugin To create competition and this is not in conflict with "that you do not see me as a competitor".

But about this threatening sentence  "But be sure that I will not be as tolerant if you direct yourself directly to me as a developer. "
I had a suggestion for you. 

Quote:Namespace concept even for mybb is useless.
Namespace is usefull for project liike Google that Multiple teams working simultaneously on very large projects.
for small projects like mybb core , NameSpace only reduce performance .
Use namespace or oop coding and other features  In the wrong place, they are more harmful than helpful.

But overall, according to your GitHub date, my message was definitely wrong.
But I didn't notice this threatening sentence "But be sure that I will not be as tolerant if you direct yourself directly to me as a developer. "
What does that mean? I didn't understand the meaning of the sentence.


and about this "You have said multiple times, privately, that you do not see me as a competitor. You frequently imply I'm somehow "new" to this community (compared to you, at least?)"

Yes, this topic was raised elsewhere, in another discussion ( That has nothing to do with this ) , and had nothing to do with this. I don't know why you have a habit of mixing up discussions.

It means that if you make comments in my threads, or my plugins, or directed to me personally as a developer, like to imply I did release something to spite anyone, I will reply in kind.

Do you think namespacing or OOP does make up for the difference between "quality" and the opposite of it ? I do not, and I will not pretend to know better and throw keywords around to found my understanding of "quality".

Please share the source for the quote you share, I did search the phrase "Namespace concept even for mybb is useless." and found nothing.

Quote: for small projects like mybb core , NameSpace only reduce performance .

This sounds interesting to read, please share the source for any performance tests and data.

Regards.

I didn't say you meant to be spiteful to anyone.
I didn't know about your release date.
But apparently you are still upset about what I said in previous discussions. I didn't mean to upset you, I just made you a suggestion based on the information I had at the time.
There is no doubt that you are helping to develop MyBB.

About "Namespace concept even for mybb is useless." this is not a Quote .
as I said before I am a software engineer. ( My thesis was also about the brain's decision-making algorithm.)
If you read a little compiler design principles and how namespaces are processed , You see what I mean..
and when I saying performance ,I am not talking about 100 or 1000 members , You will see the performance difference I mentioned above at 3K ~ 5K users.
and when I said "Namespace concept even for mybb Core is useless."  That is, while it is not needed for the core, which is larger, it is not needed for the plugins, which are much smaller.

for example I can create plugin MVC pattern but never needed , because for plugins with 2 or 3 or even 5 pages , structured codes execution is more faster than MVC or Complex OOP Structure or use Namespace.

As a software engineer, this is my opinion, but I don't mean to imply that you are wrong or that I intend to offend, it was just a suggestion.

Of course, I admit that this suggestion was partly influenced by your sentence, which had a threatening tone.



I had benchmark for these , but for some reason I lost them and unfortunately I don't have time to create the test conditions again now.
also as i said it was a suggestion for your coding.

And I didn't say I'm a better coder or you're bad, I don't know why you took my words that way.

I simply didn't know about the initial release date of your plugin and it caused this misunderstanding.
