--he did a 3X Bump.

3.
Need Facebook Help (Get a fanpage + link to site + 1,000 likes) He seems to be lost.

4.
Do follow blog commenting service at cheaper rates(100% Approval) His thread huts my eyes. He talks about actual price and his real price. What is he talking about? He should be banned.

5.
[WTS]Article Writing and Submission Package in Good Rate. This guy must be from DP. He writes in his 2X Bumbped reply:

jr_sci · 08-21-2010, 05:24 AM

Hi guys, sorry for bumping in Again in this Thread. Just got a Fucking DP'r accepting he is a DP member right now. Out of 7 posts he have made in total 3 were asking for a "Free review copy". He brought 2 SEO services in WF and now he is reselling them in WF itself. Ban him..! I hate to see such a looser.

Now, as for people who don't have English as their native language - I know a ton of people who can write legibly here, but just don't want too. But, like the example of the person I provided - they just don't want to.

If the seller has bad English skills, get someone to proofread at least the first post where they are listing their services.

I second that.. I hate do deal with people from the general area's of India and Filipinos or wherever the fuck they are from. Due to the fact of really poor communication skills. Its just not that the English is bad, they lie about it. When you then ask is everything clear, do you understand and the answer is yes and they do something else

Hang on hang on. Honestly, its nothing to do with being from India or phillipines or from china for that matter. The bottomline is these guys are idiots and they are selling crap.

just want to clarify, I am a indian myself but i dont sell any of those services.

Rather than targetting indians or filipinos, lets stick to the point that any DP dumbass selling his crap in BST with self promotion should be watched out for.

Dont be picky over his/her race or where he is from.

As long as people keep it up.

Also, Erect, you're only a BST mod, right? What should we do with posts from the other sections?

ChinaSearchAds · 08-21-2010, 12:21 PM

As someone who does freelance writing I can see an elite marketplace being a draw, both for buyers and sellers. I don't post WTS threads simply because I have enough clients through recommendations, although when I was starting out I did reply to advertisements – but not here - and I may start doing that again if work ever dries ip. On the one occasion that I did post a WTT thread (on, cough, another forum) I got a number of responses of which only one was on point and offering about a third of what I was getting. It was bartering, which may have meant that the post got a worse response than more usual selling or buying posts.

This query was also slightly off topic, as I did say that I specialise in financial content when he was looking for internet marketing. That’s probably an issue with that forum, as everyone’s expected to be a generalist. Why you’d want someone who writes about investments to write about link building beats me, but that’s the way it is on, ahem, another forum.

If there were a forum where I did not have to manage the expectations of web masters who were more used to the "good luck bros" pricing structure, I would think about participating.

Now I may be bluffing from my cubicle in Bangalore, but I would be amazed if other writers are not thinking the same thing. One of the things that you find as a writer, if you're specialised and half decent (or have another job) is that quite quickly you move away from forums and instead rely on repeat work, recommendations and people finding you. This will always I happen, I expect, particularly as the need for decent content has exploded with the web. However Wicked Fire could capture a few of these writers and other service providers for a while before they get harder to reach.

I'd also make a couple of other points:

1. Tightening up would work, but it could perhaps be better ratcheted up rather than pushed in through one big bang as it could kill the forums stone dead. So move to 20 posts immediately, then 30 the next month, 40 the month after that. This could then mean that if the market does slow then the tightening up can slow as well.

2. A stickied post about how reviews should work and what sort of reviewer you should not waste your time with could help. Reviews are an excellent way to qualify the service providers, and are another way of differentiating Wicked Fire.

3. Perhaps we need reviews of the reviews. So if you get a bad service from someone with decent reviews then call out the reviewers. That may be self interested, as I also sell popcorn as well as financial content writing.

I also like the 100 post minimum rule - even dp has a min. Post rule for their bst section, I think we can do better here.

What about false reviewers?
335 .edu & .gov forum list

I have since corrected my review of this service and reported that the topic be closed. I mistakenly posted a positive review thinking that the confirmation process should have been straight forward. From this point forward, I will not make such a mistake, nor will I grant an iTrader for services I did not exchange money or trades in exchange for services.

Ask Erect about the scammers that I have helped get removed and close topics. This nonsense needs to end on this great forum. It should be noted that I am not the only one that has made a mistake like this, there are a couple of members participating in this topic that are equally guilty. It's not the point, we need to work together to clean out the garbage.

It happens. I fucked up on a review once, three separate PR checkers told me the url PR was 7 when it was actually the domain URL. The fact that it was still a super authority link lessened my shame somewhat, but still...

Yeah, it's happened to me too. I couldn't really come up with a good explanation as to why a writer that had lots of excellent reviews came up so short. It might have something to do with writers running out of time and outsourcing their work? I'm not sure.

abroms · 08-21-2010, 02:13 PM

I'm not sure how much this is enforced, but:

Quote:

The following services / softwares are prohibited on WickedFire:
Selling Twitter accounts
Twitter account creation services / software
Selling Facebook accounts
Facebook account creation services / software
Selling MySpace accounts
MySpace account creation services / software
Selling apps that you do not have the rights to sell.
This comes down from the top and is not negotiable. If you are caught selling any of the aforementioned softwares or services, you may be banned.

That's from the prohibited services sticky. If that's enforced, then this thread should be closed.

This has happened to me as well. One thing to understand is that sometimes, a "writer" will outsource your job to another writer to get the job done.

Now that being said, it is the vendor's responsibility to check the work of his/her writers, and if they get crap from their writers they need to intervene.

If you're contracting with a writer to benefit from that writer's particular talents, ensure (as best you can) that the writer himself is doing the work (the reputable ones will disclose).

Second, if you do receive crap, demand a refund or a rewrite until you are satisfied. Again, the reputable writers will comply (within reason).

Not a good idea. Will create rep bombing.

Anyone can assign rep and then mess with my customer base or hammer me with neg rep and put me out of business.

The solution is not better central planning, the answer is more participation.

Buying and Selling Guidelines

Quote:

9. Sellers - Bumping Threads
Bumps are annoying and rude. "Bump, bump, bump" or "bumpity bump" or even just "bump" should be avoided. If you have a service / product for sale and people are not responding, do not just bump your thread to the top. If people are interested, they will do it for you by responding to your thread.

I don't post WTS threads simply because I have enough clients through recommendations, although when I was starting out I did reply to advertisements – but not here - and I may start doing that again if work ever dries ip. On the one occasion that I did post a WTT thread (on, cough, another forum) I got a number of responses of which only one was on point and offering about a third of what I was getting. It was bartering, which may have meant that the post got a worse response than more usual selling or buying posts. This query was also slightly off topic, as I did say that I specialise in financial content when he was looking for internet marketing. That’s probably an issue with that forum, as everyone’s expected to be a generalist. Why you’d want someone who writes about investments to write about link building beats me, but that’s the way it is on, ahem, another forum. If there were a forum where I did not have to manage the expectations of web masters who were more used to the "good luck bros" pricing structure, I would think about participating. Now I may be bluffing from my cubicle in Bangalore, but I would be amazed if other writers are not thinking the same thing. One of the things that you find as a writer, if you're specialised and half decent (or have another job) is that quite quickly you move away from forums and instead rely on repeat work, recommendations and people finding you. This will always I happen, I expect, particularly as the need for decent content has exploded with the web. However Wicked Fire could capture a few of these writers and other service providers for a while before they get harder to reach. I'd also make a couple of other points: 1. Tightening up would work, but it could perhaps be better ratcheted up rather than pushed in through one big bang as it could kill the forums stone dead. So move to 20 posts immediately, then 30 the next month, 40 the month after that. This could then mean that if the market does slow then the tightening up can slow as well. 2. A stickied post about how reviews should work and what sort of reviewer you should not waste your time with could help. Reviews are an excellent way to qualify the service providers, and are another way of differentiating Wicked Fire. 3. Perhaps we need reviews of the reviews. So if you get a bad service from someone with decent reviews then call out the reviewers. That may be self interested, as I also sell popcorn as well as financial content writing.

espey127 Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Posts: 310 iTrader: 22 / 100%	What about false reviewers? 335 .edu & .gov forum list I have since corrected my review of this service and reported that the topic be closed. I mistakenly posted a positive review thinking that the confirmation process should have been straight forward. From this point forward, I will not make such a mistake, nor will I grant an iTrader for services I did not exchange money or trades in exchange for services. Ask Erect about the scammers that I have helped get removed and close topics. This nonsense needs to end on this great forum. It should be noted that I am not the only one that has made a mistake like this, there are a couple of members participating in this topic that are equally guilty. It's not the point, we need to work together to clean out the garbage. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter
