Private messages in arbitration. Your account is 1 step (or closer) from being removed.
I used to send a private message to arbitrator and that's what I got in response for it.
"technically you have forfeited the arbitration for posting privately (since you did confirm you would forfeit if you posted privately). However the fairest arbitration decisions occur when both sides fully present their version of events. For that reason only, you will be granted one (but ONLY ONE) exception for posting an inappropriate private message."

Limitations for using code
For every freelancer! Danger! Very-very worker-unfriendly service, at least recent year. I am leaving it after 5 + years and even if I am in 1% of top coders there. I would be happy to stay but they're starting to get really nasty "freelancer killers" once being famous on TV.
Do not get jobs from there if you want to get paid instead of shocked by unfair arbitration.
Warning! Starting working there you also accept the following:
I, YOUR_NAME, hereby confirm that I will not use third party components (which includes code previously written by myself and used in any previous project, free code obtained from any source or any other code elements that I have not written from scratch myself) in any future projects that I undertake on the vWorker site without the expressed permission from the employer involved. Furthermore, that if I do so, my vWorker account will be closed
So they can close your account for every free code snippet found in your job.
Keep away from them!

Unfair arbitration practices
I want to express about vworker unfair arbitration practices relating to Coders who are using vworker website to get a freelance job.
I am a Coder there at vworker.com (it was called rentacoder.com before) for years. I am private person, not a company and I am purely free-lance coder. I am professional with my area of PHP and Joomla.
I noticed that vworker is not going to protect coders during their arbitration trating minor issues (like minor deadline mismatch) with the same "power" as as serious ones. And now I am in situation where I was unable to meet deadline beacue of health and time issues, did my best to provide it as soon as it was possible, and uploaded complete job just few hours (NOT days) after deadline. I am now going to loose arbitration because vworker arbitratior Ashley O'deil treats it as a serious issue once Buyer raised alert hour after deadline even if he was notified that I will be ready within hours.

Slow, low quality Work, unfriendly, Arbitration process is a Scam
I posted a project, and the "worker" who took on the project had a full time job, and according to information available on the site, took on other jobs after he took on mine. He could not get very much work done at a time, and I had to continually re-post issues for him to correct the problems. The worker estimated he could complete the job in 15 days. After almost 3 months, the job was still not complete. The worker submitted the job as complete, but because I couldn't find some form that said I certified some flaws in the deliverables, even though I posted 15 individual flaws on the arbitration report, and certified the flaws on the report, they completely ignored the posted flaws, and said I was in default, and said I forfeited the arbitration. So they stole my money, and my web site is (3 months after it was started) significantly incomplete. I closed my account the instant they forfeited my arbitration. STAY AWAY from this service. Any money you think you are going to save in development is not going to materialize, due to unprofessional providers, and then being locked into a process where crooks have control of your money being held in escrow by them. STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY. Beware of the crooks and their crooked arbitration process. It might be fine for tiny projects where you only put small amounts of money in their control, but if you have a major project, do not put your money in control of these people. You will be frustrated, poorer, and likly, without your deliverable.
