freelancemm Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Honestly, I think it’s mostly users who’s first language isn’t English. They think it’s a category to post up their gig and don’t quite understand it fully. I got a few people that got offended when I responded with a gig relevant to what they asked, only to find out they were offering it and found it incredibly rude that I requested my gig. Silly, but yeah. I am sure some do it as they believe they will garner extra sales, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmish Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Reply to @freelancemm: See, that’s what I think too. I don’t like the idea of reporting them just because they don’t understand. Plus, I nearly thought that because I used 3 offers or so, and still haven’t heard back from any of them. The request is still open, even though some 20+ people applied. Something seems off there, I just can’t tell what. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freelancemm Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Reply to @bigmish: Well, in regards to a buyer request still being open after many requests. I occasionally post up buyer requests myself. I have 31 people that applied, and maybe out of them only 5 actually listened to what I asked for(Although out of those five, maybe one or two could actually do what I wanted in specific.). Others seem to want to spam their other gigs because their gig isn’t in the category I requested in. Essentially, it’s kind of broken to pieces and need to be revised a bit.

servicetier Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 @manuramds In most cases, reading what they’ve written makes it seem like they genuinely think–as others have commented–that they are posting their offer in the right place. This happens on other platforms as well, per my conversations with those on them.@bilalzaheer I suppose it’s a matter of priorities. We know the technology exists to be able to suss out most of them programmatically; at a minimum, they can be flagged by the computer and reviewed by a person. Unfortunately, there are probably lots of other things those same employees are charged with doing which take precedence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliapaddock Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have found that this is still happening. I started this week and thought I was in the wrong at first because so many people were doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
