: I think that any task which requires people pay money in order to exercise the code (another example might be credit card handling) should be treated as dubious. There's definitely a place for that kind of code, but I think that that place should be on a rigorously regulated paid access site. It's advertising for a commercial endeavor, which is fine as long as the commercial endeavor (a) contributes back, and (b) does so in an honest and clear fashion, and (c) does not whine and complain about other activities. I do not think that the person asking this task be posted here was doing the right thing. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 13:12, 29 December 2014 (UTC) |

If, as Rdm has pointed out, "Posting requires a valid group which is a paid feature", and posting is an important part of the API, then the draft task should '''not''' be accepted as RC'ers don't have to pay external parties to complete tasks so far and I don't think that should change. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 18:28, 29 December 2014 (UTC) |
