peterska2 is always right (as said, thinking out loud too often too.. lol)

so the best thing to do with any kind of situation is to start an outsider freelancer management system, where all the projects are called publically, where any coder can give a resum? of the job they have done, what they provide if they do the job, etc... and clients that resume their results, satisfaction to the coder, etc...

this is already made for many freelancers websites, but none is related to vBulletin exclusivly. i've received more than 50 contracts that way in the last year... freelancers sites are good place for controling the quality of coders... i'm not always having good references when a job is done, but usually, i'm able to explain the results of any job, and why the client is not satisfied, (and yes, i many times given the excuses to be redblooded and harsh against some clients reactions)...

here we can't explain a thing, we can't even answer threads directly, and 99% of the clients will never read the others' requests because they will not bring any real information on the job to be done... even many clients simply ask for "a job to be done", not giving a hint to anybody...

there is no solution for this situation, so maybe it's time to turn the page ?!
vB|Professionals is built for this single purpose, give a place for pros to display their potential and for clients to ask for services... anyway, the site is not published as is for now, as i don't have time to implement what is needed yet... i'm working on the phpAuction software that will give us a Reverse Auction that will bring that opportunity... freelancing for vB...
