Be Careful Hiring Members From SMF
Recently a Member on the SMF official forums complaining about a guy taking his money and not doing the job. I have seen this many times and responded with the following:
I think doing anything online is pretty much a risk. I wouldn't hire someone that was working for $5 bucks. In my experience usually only someone in their pre teens would ask for that kind of money. Next thing, would I want someone like that sniffing around my server dealing with code or whatever? No way.
When I first started with SMF I reached some sticking points and hired whomever contacted me first. Looking back that was so so bad! I had to end up hiring multiple people to get the same job done right.
