You don't have to pay for membership. Free accounts have a 10% commission, versus 15% for vworker. Our paid commissions drop this as far as 3%. You were happy moving your clients in to pay 15%?

It's an incorrect statement. vWorker user earnings are well up, around 50% higher than before. vWorker did have some great freelancers and some really nice features. However it was an incredibly difficult site to use, this is why they did n

This system is only exposed to you personally, it is not exposed to employers and has no effect on your on-site rating whatsoever (which we call reputation, a metric)

Agree as I said about we will look at fine grained control over how many digests a user wants to receive. Some people do not browse the site at all but want INSTANT emails when a new project comes on. Some people want 1 email a day.

He was complaining about the daily digests :) We have thousands of projects per day posted. We need probably better fine grained control over the timing of these emails, I can tell you that if we send less emails we get complaints, if we se

Hi Octopus Thanks for the feedback 1) Yes we are trying to crack down on the bid spam. However the marketplace is very liquid you will also almost always find that there is actually someone at the other end, so when you get 10 bids in 60 se

Hi Dove/lotharbot, Thanks for your feedback. Some of the vWorker freelancers I agree were exceptional - this is why they are now at the top of the leaderboard in many categories. vWorker users earnings are, on a whole, up about 50% post acq

That's actually incorrect. In fact, vWorkers in aggregate are now earning 50% more than prior, and if you check the directory, many are top of the reputation list now.

Well you can always ignore it? There are something things you might like to earn with the credits, for example the phone number for the head of support, a chat with me over skype with a cup of tea, or a t-shirt? It's not like you have to do
