i usually get clients due to my clean reputation on all the products i developped, not because they were scammed by someone else... and usually, i'm not their last hope... i usually refuse to serve someone who got scammed here because they usually ask to lower the charges because their money is gone... and as i'm not a freelancer, i'm not accepting all the jobs just because i need to work.

the thing is not on my side or on the side of the coders who are ok, the problem is that one scammer could bring 10 clients to go elsewhere, so we see less persons posting here, but far more, we are all tagged as scammer in the near future, because the guys how answer requests at first are the ones to be chosen... 90% scammers... because they grab some clients, scam them, take a vacation, come back 3 months later and start again...

some guys here already asked if it was possible to start a commercial site where they would have the possibility to advertise their company... the other side is also requested.. a place where clients can rate the coders... a place where we can comment and be heard if positive or negative comments are given... here, people do not read any follow up of paid requests because they are not rating the coders... we do not see any tag beside coders name to indicate that they have 10 or 1000 satisfied clients...

a lot of features would be necessary to have a good paid-request forum, and you can't make it all... you do not need to explode your brain for that...
