    Hi guys,

    In continuation to this thread ive opened :
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1694304

    This is very unfair. We spend our time designing only so some scammers will run away with a brand new design without paying for it.

    I would like to make a very simple yet efficient suggestion.
    From now on, every client who announces a contest for a design, will have
    to send the money prize to an account who will be a Prize Pot.

    Then, they will not be able to run with the design , and the mod's will pay the winner through this pot.

    Tell me what you're going to do with it mods. its up to you now.

    Regards.
    Influ.

    you totally missed the point
    lol I know there are but the point is when someone posted a contest he WILL BE FORCED TO DEPOSIT THE PRIZE IN THE POT SO HE WONT BE ABLE TO RUN WITHOUT PAYING.

    It's up to the participant really... If you want to use an escrow service, only participate in contests that use one.

    That's a good idea. i hope we can realize that asap. with that idea plus the good ideas of our co designers would be a strong foundation if not perfect in-order to stop those no mannered clients. cause if we will not act now i don't know what will happen to us designers. I will be summarizing all the things that we should do from the post of our fellow designers so that every they wll know every detail on how to fight bad clients. I will post it here soon.
