Chris 73 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hello, I wanted to suggest that we made a freelance area there we could get people who have the skills to post about what they can do; e.g. Make skins, themes videos logo's etc. It would probably be a market area but it would be more the place for people to ask for things which they want to be customised. Cons: [*]People may not obey rules [*]People may expect things to be released [*]People may scam; providing bad atmospherePros: [*]People can get what they want customised [*]People can get what they need (New; unseen features etc.) [*]People have freedom to get revenue on a sight which helps them evolve and learn.I personally would love to see this as it could revolutionise WebFlake and let people support others by earning a living. Thank You,Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stake™ 113 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yes.I support this.It should be awesome, to 'sell' skins, logo's, sites, video's, intro's etc..Good idea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Any free lance work should be kept strictly between the client and the coder through Private message. Since you're only doing business with one person based on their preferences and order list, having a section for it on the forum would be next to useless. All things regarding billing, color schemes, custom code or other works can be easily discussed privately through E-mail or again, personal message.

Justin™ 204 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 A freelance forum would only cause friction among members. People paying for services and not paying for them or others running off with payments and not completing the job is just is a little too much for a forum where 90% of the members are 16 and under.

Evarni 174 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 People can display their work in the Graphics and Web Design forum. Members can also show their website link their signature. However this must be done subtly. WebFlake is not, nor shall it ever be, a place where people can come to solicit or market themselves. The Graphics and Web Design forum and signature links are more than enough. Soliciting through private messages is absolutely not allowed. This is a webmaster and resource website. It is not a marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GodFather Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I don't; think the freelance forum is to post about it. It's "Hi, I'm looking for a coder. Money involved" type forum where people can post requests -- I've seen all kinds of sites do this and it's always proven to work, you do get the occasinal "He ran off with my money, don't hire him" but meh, that's because they didn't work out anything well. Personally, 25% up front, rest when complete (or something around there) is usually safe on both parties to a certain extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 73 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Or what you guys do is have it so that people can only post a thread; but those people are only the ones who list what they can do; people can't request for things. Then it is just taken straight into PM's and followed up from there - therefore making it an easy moderation section (which can be left alone).
