Whenever I hire someone on this forum I always look at their background and get references from them. All you have to do is be cautios about whom you are hiring to do your job. Hell, I would think if you are going to pay someone good money for a job why not spend 5 - 15 minutes doing a little research on them?

Bottom line, don't be lazy and do some background checks on them, also, a no go on the review system. Bad decision.

My two cents

Not everyone could write a review about anyone they want. Read my post.

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.
