The MQL5.community continues to develop, and we are happy to see the
number of members and service users growing. However, we are no longer
able to moderate Market, Code Base and Freelance manually — this
requires a lot of resources from our company. Therefore, we decided to
provided maximum automation for the community processes, which require
the help of service moderators.
We are working hard on the automation, and have already released the following updates:
Codes in the Code Base are now published without a moderator. Prepare a description of your
MQL4/MQL5 example, add good screenshots sized no more than 750x500
pixels and submit your code for verification. After a successful
automated testing, it will be immediately published in the Code Base,
and an appropriate announcement will be added on the forum.
Freelance now allows parties to solve certain types of force majeure situations,
enabling the Developer and the Customer to come to an agreement without
Arbitration. We have added required commands directly to the current
order page.
If an issue cannot be solved, parties can still request Arbitration
from the service moderators. In the future, we also plan to automate
such cases.
Publishing of Products in the Market has been fully automated. Now the author needs to fill in all the necessary fields and pass through automated checks,
after which the Product will be instantly published in the Market. Now,
authors can easily edit Product descriptions, release updates or
temporarily remove Products from the Market showcase to fix errors. It
can be done faster now, as Sellers do not have to wait for moderation.
The automation will not affect Product quality control: users can complain on Products, which violate the Market rules:
The Product must not:
guarantee, promise or hint at profits through the Product name, logo, screenshots or description;
contain words and expressions in superlative degree relating to Product features or the underlying concept;
present trading strategy backtest results as real trading results, whether expressly or implicitly;
contain links to external resources to be used as a description;
contain flashy/immodest titles of description sections or Product names;
use images of money or valuables in any form;
use any pictures of non-aesthetic nature as a Product icon or screenshots.
The Product shall be described in a calm manner using simple clear sentences without slang and abbreviations.
The Seller shall not sell or distribute any harmful products through the Market service.
The Seller shall not integrate and apply any third-party sales, accounting, license control and update management systems (including the ones using WebRequest features) in Products.
The Seller shall not collect users' personal data by
means of Products or implement additional custom limitations on the
functionality of MQL4/MQL5 applications.
The Seller shall not publish multiple copies of Products, which
are based on the same idea and differ only in input parameter settings,
symbols, and/or timeframes. Creation of similar Products having slightly
changed descriptions and/or design shall be considered as spam and lead
to the removal of all detected copies from the Market showcase, while
the Seller shall be banned from all paid MQL5.com services.
We believe that control by the MQL5.community members will be as effective as the manual Product moderation.
Verified User status will also be provided in the automated mode. At the current stage, a
user instantly receives an appropriate message in case of providing
inaccurate data.
These are the first steps towards the
automation of our processes. We are reviewing all of our services in
order ensure convenience and simplicity of use for the active members of
the MQL5.community.
