Have you looked into guru.com? Their site looks more professional, though I don't have any experience with them personally. Perhaps you'd have better luck there? http://www.guru.com/[^] Good luck! -- Edward Livingston (aka ExtraLean) -- "I still maintain that seeing a nipple is far less disturbing than seeing someone get their brains blown out." -- Chris Maunder

Damn - they send my RAC job to a human editor before posting it. So it will not get posted. Oh, well, I expected it to die, I just hoped it would 'go live' for a bit first.

Why not post the RAC job on eBay?

I don't believe it. RAC previewed my job and then posted it. Here is the URL: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/BidRequests/ShowBidRequest.asp?lngBidRequestId=258799[^] I'm amazed.

I think it is hilarious that that got past a human reviewer, but would like to correct you on one small detail: Christian Graus wrote: I'm amazed. Think hard about that. Are you really?

*grin* Based on what I've already experienced, I'm less amazed than I could be. It's still pretty incredible though. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

I ended up accepting $200 for the job that I did for $450, after the buyer offered me $300, I accepted and RAC let him not pay me after I sent the code. I finally got the money today. After all their fees, $200 turns into $129.25. I kid you not. So now I'm going to post a job on RAC, to write a website where people who have been ripped off by RAC can post their stories, and where developers considering the user of RAC can be encouraged to come to their senses.

I was just on the site and noticed that they are affiliated with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). After reading all the problems you've had with RAC, I'd send the BBB a line. I've always heard of good things about the BBB, and even if they do not actually DO anything, the fact that you submitted a complaint to them, is visible to anyone inquiring about RAC. Thanks, John

It reminds me of the forum on a site where I used to work. We had to add "class action" to the filter list because people were asking for people to join a class action suits. They also posted cartoons based with characters from the web site getting lucky. People will do wierd things.

I wonder if there is a way to set up a site in reverse to what rentacoder is doing. Eg; have a source pool of good coders who are bidded for by firms wanting work done. Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)

To see the one posted bid (1 as of now), it requires a login. Can someone create/post a generic login/passwd for everyone please? Nish

Quality posting on RAC :) It just show as far as human reviewers/testers are concerned you CAN "fool some of the people ALL of the time". I wonder what will be next? An article of microsoft.com on how to migrate to Linux and remove XP? ---------- I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

Can RAC match one coder to several customers? If just 200 CP members paid 1 dollar each, it would be worth it IMO. :) -- My name in Katakana is ヨルゲン. My name in German is Jörgen. My name in Mandarin/Kanji is 乔尔根 西格瓦德森. My name in Korean is 요르겐. I blog too now[^]

Excellent! Perhaps the human editor might have agree with you :-D OT - you wrote: "I'm definately not interested in out of the box solutions in PHP or asp ( this is the 21st century, guys )". Why this hate against PSP? :confused:
