Scammers break vB coders reputation...

don't sigh too much Chris, we can't point scammers because we are not the victims... and i think lasto made his point already, so adding more on his side would be useless, as this thread is not about scammers but about a better system somewhere else.

i could buy a vB license and start a real freelancers site, but it was done before without any result because Jelsoft was not supporting it... but i'd be ready to start one if i'd be supported..

nexialys, I'd also be happy to start a website, for requesting paid services ect. But, would Jelsoft risk such a thing?

If the request section is to stay then i suggest that all Requests for paid service are made on the board and coders are allowed to reply instead of using the pm system.This keeps a record and the coder and client can discuss what they want doing and when that will be implemented and the cost.Now if something goes wrong and its not in the post then this board cant act on it,so it will encourage people to keep everything in the actual thread so it can be used at a later date should anything go wrong.

Im sure someone can make a hack - like this

say 5 people reply to your thread - you click the one you want and the rest are auto blocked from the thread and just you and the coder can discuss away.It wont stop things going wrong but it will leave a record of what was wanted etc and give both users some backup.

We all can start a website on this matter however that is not a solution because there is no way Jelsoft will target customers who look for custom code to that site. Thats why i suggested Jelsoft to start a new site. They can start a new site and hire a team to manage the site. That way they will have more liability maybe but they will have more income also as a paid directory will bring good income and also they can get percentage of each sale going through site. They can also act similar like getfreelancer.com and allow members to purchase subscriptions etc...

Yes, I agree Lizard King. Who wants to take this up with Jelsoft? However, we need a good, reliable team -- who are capable of managing the site.

Out of interest, who would be interested in managing a site for this particular purpose?

Regards Jason

Please keep other personal ventures and Jelsoft proposals outside this thread - this is about paid requests on this forum.

yeah, Jase2, forget about any offer here, it is a discussion, not the plan for the destruction of the net... you can easily do that on your own...

Danny sorry but why shall we leave Jelsoft outside of this site ? As we all know this site belongs to Jelsoft so they shall be involved in fixing the current situation or we shall at least can share our opinion.

[Jase2]

I have to agree. Jelsoft own this. If you wish to discuss the current state of affairs further, email: Ashley...I'm sure he will do something.

Regards Jason

I'm not saying we shall leave Jelsoft out of this. If people are interested in starting their own venture and proposing it to Jelsoft...well, that doesn't belong here.

If you are going to leave your feedback here then it should be for this site, no?

The staff is interested in your feedback on how we can improve this community - if anyone feels like creating a new community, I can't stop them but it has no business here.
