Re: [bitfolk] Some payment tweaks

Andy++ We experience similar problems at Cernio Tech Co-op. Whatever slack is broadly offered is taken (and then some) at least half of the time. That's logical, I suppose, but doesn't encourage offering any more slack than is absolutely necessary. This, more than anything, drives the formation and enforcement of seemingly-strict billing policies and procedures. Like Andy, I'm quite happy to work out a mutually agreeable custom deal when asked, but communication is requisite. And, like Andy, it's especially frustrating to me to have to deal with non- communicating non-payers when we're at capacity with a waiting list of eager would-be customers. I think issuing invoices further in advance and having less leeway after the due date both make sense. Also, do I understand correctly that Bitfolk currently provisions VPSes before receiving payment? That surprises me - seems that it's only fair (and industry standard) to require at least one month's payment prior to provisioning. Doing so would cut down on the spam-and-run "customers", too.
