Free / Open-Source prefix for threads in the Plugins section.

[NV6]

Title says it all, it would be really nice to have a thread prefix for Open-Source and Free plugins/software.

Reasons:

• Currently, most free and/or opensource plugins use the "Selling" prefix, which causes at least 1 issue:
  • It makes it harder to search for free/opensource plugins.
• Less confusion when making a thread.

Although it might be a small feature - it would be useful in my opinion.

I hope you take my suggestion in consideration,
NV6.

Also tags for exclusive/non-exclusive would be handy, not only in the development section, but in builds, setups etc.

The intention is to remove prefixes entirely and replace it with a filtering system that will accept several categories of information which our users may use to search and filter.

Information regarding price and exclusivity are already planned to be included among the filterable data.

The problem you’re identifying though, is a real one. As an intermediate solution, I would see only positives from altering our buying/selling prefixes to offering/requesting.

This is now planned for our next announcement.

I know this isn’t what was originally suggested, but since it is essentially already planned within our filtering system, and since a change to address the issue in the meantime is resulting from this thread, I’ve gone ahead and moved this to accepted.
Thank you for the suggestion.
