If people would do that, researching someone would be a lot easier.

A feedback system would be more ideal in this case. It would be eaiser for customers to research a single user by visting there vb.org profile instead of searching the request forum where hardly any of the thread authors replies too. A feedback system I had in mind could work something like this.

Client makes a thread about some service he/she needs done. CoderA, CoderB and CoderC all send there quotes via PM to Client. Client picks CoderB for the job. At this point the Client will send a service request to CoderB with the agreed price and any notes there may be. CoderB has to accept this request. Once CoderB Accepts the service request, then the Client will have access to leave a feedback note on the coders profile with a rating. The coder could reply in his own defense if there was a negative feedback left, or vis-versa

A system like this would be ideal in my mind and could be improved, but at least it would be a start. Then Clients can check out the coders feedback on past transactions. vB.org still won't be responsible for members who get ripped off, but at least there will be some sort of organized notes left for coders.

Or vB.org can continue to make stupid excuses and continue to just turn there heads as if nothing happens. Like it or not, but vb.org will just continue to grow and grow and this will just continue to happen if nothing is done.
