Definitely a yes from me, but if you're not going to entertain signature campaigns, will you also not be supporting bounties (as they're seen more as a job and very time-consuming if done for too many projects).
Your intention is great to keep scammers away as well as don't pay lazy guys who can't really manage to do anything but waste employers time, but trust me you'll really need good space for that forum to work smooth as if you're expecting people from Bitcointalk to hover at your place, you must be knowing what amount of audience you'll be entertaining and the hardest job after that will be to keep your forum free from those who won't really give anything after having their work done. It'd be great if you hire a reputed member of this forum at your place to work as an escrow and keep some funds from employers and release it to employees after the job done (although, even this is a win-win for employers as they can say that their given work hasn't been completed as expected and they get their BTC back).
Topic: My idea for a bitcoin job forum - page 3. (Read 768 times)
If it looked nice and had traffic I would certainly use it. If it operated like an Ebay but for services then I think it could be successful. However user liquidity will be important, you need people to offer services but also need daily visitors of people who are looking for cryptocurrency related services.
I have gotten some free web hosting space and a domain name. I wanted to create a forum - like the services section - in where members can find jobs paid in any kind of cryptocurrency. I want to do this because of the state of the services section - it is too cluttered and unorganized. I don't think I will have signature campaigns on the site since that is what Bitcointalk is for - posting in topics relating to btcoin you have a genuine interest in. I know there's XBTFreelancer and other sites like that but I like the forum format better. I will mod it to include a reputation system like this forum have I haven't given such a modification much thought but I want to be able to flag scammers, lazy employees, and people who are unqualified to do the job.
My questions are: would you use it and does it serve a good purpose?
