Just a couple of points regarding Photography Services Directory, Commercials Service Directory, Service Wanted.
Photography Services Directory, is meant for our members to offer photography on a PERSONAL basis,
but it does not mean we should allow any half-baked photographers going around offering free and cheap services, if photographers are not ready yet, please go equip themselves before make themselves available for hire.
Commercials Service Directory, is a paid subscription section for professionals and seasonal photographers advertising their services, let's face it, with all the free and cheap photographers around, who will want to pay advertising dollars and not getting any jobs here?
and without quality service providers here, how to attract good customers and clients to find photographers from here?
Service Wanted, we allow new members sign up and post request here, all the looking for free services requests have been deleted, but some became smarter, say is a paid job but offering pathetic compensation, since nobody expose them so we won't able to remove it. Anyway, I know some members will still contact service requesters to offer cheap and free services even service requesters stated have certain budget. for that, we won't able to prevent this, but we will encourage service requesters to be contacted by private message only, so at least we can limited to our members only.
btw, here is the only place for photographers to advertise their service for free, since it is free, nobody really hack care, just like craigslist
so do we really want to impose paid subscription for improvement??
