We loose clients in the Services Requests section...

oh, and btw... i read comments about "hey, a guy can register a new user and come back after if he is banned..."

i faced that situation sooner this year, when i was forced to create a new username because of my company changes... when i offered my help for a service request, some clients were asking me why i was doing so, with 3 or 4 posts made and a new name (2 or 3 days old) ...

you have to prove your points when you are new and offer your talents... if your Trader Rating is empty, that mean you never had clients... and even one single negative comment may help all other clients that search for the right coder...

i see today that another client was thieft by misterX... he posted his comment in the thread related to his service request, but this doesn't mean everybody will read that thread... most of the time, these threads are read by the coders, not the clients...
