Service Requests
 

Just had a thought, it's an excellent idea to have a forum specifically for service requests, but shouldn't we have a forum where we can post testimonials about coders we've hired? So we can post if they're trustworthy and so on. That would make it easier for hirers to make a decision on who to trust. It might make untrustworthy coders think twice before being untrustworthy?

I agree, but I think it would be better for vbulletin.org to install something like the trader raters system, but change it a round a little for designers!

It's advised to post in the original service request thread once the job is completed to give a feedback about the coder.

Unfortunatelly, not everyone does it...

no one can do it, only new threads can be created or posts can be made in the orriginal thread only by the creater of that thread. Other members are blocked from posting in their

He meant that the requester should post after the job, that the job is completed and give feedback about the coder who did it.

Nevertheless, we're thinking about a system like the trader ratings..

That would be awesome!

Hi,

I'm new to the forum, please tell me where I must go to post a service request. We are looking for someone to help us customize our site.

Thanks,
Sonia

There is a Service Requests forum at the bottom of the forum listing.

I realise that hirers can post about the coders they hired in their thread but I just think it would be far more efficient if there was a separate forum for this purpose, much like a little database if you get my drift. It would be easier to look up a name of a coder and see what people have to say about them in this sort of forum database type thing. Just a thought. :)

My only quip with the trader ratings idea, and the idea of having a seperate forum is that you could pay a new member here $5 and get him to post up a long testimonial. It's open to abuse.
