If you posted a paid request here you can do a follow-up on your request and say "BirdOPrey5 did a great job" or "I was unhappy with BirdOPrey5's work and will not use him again."

It's up to the buyer in the future to do a search for a potential coder's username if they want and see what people have said about them.

There will never be a forum where unhappy customers can just "flame" coders or vice-versa. The majority of the time when one side feels cheater, both feel they were wronged and no one here is in a position if knowing who was right and who was wrong- and more likely a bad deal was a failure on both sides to make clear expectations and requirements.
