No - I think that we should continue to allow anyone to post up a job / apply for a job offered
-
Yes - The restrictions detailed in the first post are a good idea and should be inplemented

Yes - but not those detailed in the OP. I have given my suggestion in the thread.

Neither is it ebay but a lot of people just pipe up and sell stuff when they need to. Surely gigs offered to members of this forum can be nothing but a positive thing, if done correctly?

Not unless they're established members of the forum with a track record. (The same restrictions apply to posting up stuff for sale as are being proposed for the jobs offered / required section).

Well that's what we're trying to gauge here... how members feel about this.
Are members happy accepting gigs from what are more or less strangers, without a 'track record' on the forum?
From my POV, the only down-side to putting these restrictions in place is that someone who runs a less-than-decent service would have the 'get out of jail free' card that the forum supplies removed.... meaning that they would have no-where to turn and a client could be let down as a result. But, conversely, so long as there is a 'get out of jail free' card available, the bar will remain low.

Absolutely Mark!
That's what this thread is for - so that we can debate the pros and cons!

I also think members should be clear about who exactly you are expected to work for should you accept the gig, i.e. dealing direct with the client or working on behalf of the other disco etc.
Nothing riles me more than someone who has taken or wants to take a cut and doesn't have the decency to be honest about it.
I agree with this, although personally not fussed of someone has taken a cut (I will add I personally do not take a cut). A criteria should be met to include the above and I think the fee should also be displayed.
However - I also think members should be banned from commenting on the thread other than to let the OP know they are available.
Either that, or could replies only be allowed by PM only as opposed to the open forum ?

Disco Dude!
I'm actually going to go against the grain here. I voted to keep it as it is.
The buck stops with the people involved. In the recent case that happened it wasnt anything the forum did or didnt do that caused the sad events of the weekend but rather the two muppets themselves.
When I've offered jobs out people who I didnt know had no chance. Only regular posters that come across in the right way were given the time of day.

Not participating in anything else on the forum is not. Apart from anything else, I think it's quite ill mannered.

My view is that people like me, who need experience... should be able to see posts that people need roadies. I know it doesnt happen often but its worth a thought.
I'm not one for offering jobs or accepting them - i'm just not silly enough to take jobs on at the moment.
One way to do it is too restrict it to supporters. I'd be more than happy to support MDD for the facility.
