can i rant here about a fellow qbner i hired as a developer that royally screwed me. overcharged and has not delivered to the point that i have to find a second developer to finish the job cause he's ducking my emails / ichat and i've now also lost the client once this job is done. oh, and they're only paying 20% as the job is now 1.5 months late for no actual reason yet i paid him already and have found that he hadn't completed as much as he had said he had.
the funny thing is he even asked if i had any other work for him.
felt like ranting. am pretty angry and disappointed.

can i say here? i feel shite as i've referred him here and now i'd feel responsible if anyone was foolish enough to listen to my comments!

Well, if we don't know, what if the same thing happens to one of us?

I guess it's safe to say mikejjj won't be getting any work from airey in the future...

It wasn’t me was it? I forget who I make promises to, who I ask for things, and what it is that I tell people I do.
That SUCKS. Blacklist.

Maybe not Name and Shame, maybe more like name and give a chance to explain in a public forum since there has been no effort made privately.

not naming him in the open would be the professional way.

Can I at least know via e-mail?

Is he/she one of the main posters here, or just some random person?

Wait, the client is reducing the job fee by 80% due to it being late? Was it for an event or something?

dude, if you're going to go out of your way to rant about it here and expose the fact that they are a QBNer.... what's the point of holding the last bit of information that actually makes this fucking post interesting or relevant to any of us at all?
and if the QBNer truly fucked you like you say they did you owe it to the community to point them out so that no one else gets taken.
otherwise you're lying or making shit up and your rant and existence are pointless.

he helped with another client first and that went ok. the usual bumps when two businesses work together and get a vibe for how each other work. it came together ok.
a few other little things went ok. more expensive than i could have got elsewhere but i figured it was worth spending to build a relationship i could trust (ahh the irony). for the same job i paid him 3 times what i'd pay yummycss and they do a trustworthy job.
second job gone to the crapper. easy little job and i'm now out of pocket and lost a client.
i even went through all this with him a week ago, detailing the issues and why i was so pissed and disappointed. he genuinely didn't get it for a bit. got it, then said he'd get on top of it and now a week later still nothiing and not way for me to get in touch as he's ducked email and hides his availability on ichat.
as he's in the uk i had to content with the exchange rate and effectively paid him a lot more than i've now found in the USA or here in Aus.
you know i feel more let down than angry about the money.

call me unprofessional. it rubbed off.
he seems a nice guy but i don't want anyone else to get screwed over.
then again, it might have been a one-off or a personal thing. he might hate me.
- Let’s hope he at least explains. Last login 15 hours ago, so he’s around.MrOneHundred

so i guess its safe to say that nter's with less than 1K posts cant be trusted for work... if only they posted more often we would be able to tell them to get to work... ahh... well i never heard of him...but now..

Well, if anyone ever needs a developer, the one who does all of my company's stuff is super talented, and looking for freelance work. He's also my best friend, and I can vouch for him 110%!
End plug.
