Updated suggestion, see post #19 & #22

---

People confuse the Graphic Services section for other kind of graphic design sections. Not that it is unclear, it is clear. People are just lazy to investigate which section is the correct one to post in.

Right now, people are offering free services, paid services, request of free orders & request of paid orders there.

What the section is actually for: Users offering free graphic services for other users, nothing else.

Here you offer free services.
Here you offer paid services.
Here you request paid orders.
Here you request free orders.

Proof of people using the section wrong?

All of these, in the spoilers, are in the wrong section (threads are only from the first page of the section). The first page, has 55% of it's threads in the wrong section.

To have a staff member/mentor/admin clean that sections takes too long time and to prevent further threads in the wrong section, rename it, that is my suggestion and recommendation.

For the record, I know that I am able to report them and they'll very likely get banned (3 days) because it is outside the marketplace. But that is not what I am looking for. Even if it is their own fault. I am looking to solve this problem once for all.

I agree with this, the graphic services forum should just split into 4 sub-forums Paid Service, Free Service, Free Requests, Paid Requests. It would be so much better for designers and people needing the designing.

I hope your suggestion is implemented.

You did not understand any of this. But thanks I guess.

Everything is good like it is, it is just that people are lazy shits and post randomly in Graphic Services. Therefor a rename is needed to make it more clear that the section is only for users who offers free graphic services.

Just noticed this thread which is relevant considering that this section is also outside the Marketplace, and people are dealing with money there. So a stickied warning in Graphic services might be good aswell. Actually a rename should do the job.

[Mαxim]

Hopefully this will be considered. I truly believe a name change will affect the way people post there. The Graphic Services section is a mess.

[Rayner]

A change that would definitely help.

I think it sounds like a great idea! Unfortunately as someone already said, good luck getting anyone to actually listen to your suggestion :( The section really is a mess though...that is the only time I received a ban because I posted in the wrong section when I first joined the site

I think it's a great idea. It should be done.

Why do you think the suggestion will not be heard? Omni reads them all. At least the ones that are not trolling or suggesting stupid things, but this is not the case.

Thank to those who commented and understood the suggestion and the reason behind it. It is appreciated.

Thanks, and you are right. However I also believe that it is important to keep it up for a while to make sure that nobody is against the suggestion with good reasons and such.

maybe scrapping the whole sub forums and having various prefixes instead, i understand what you mean noone wants to pay for graphics anymore

Did you post in the correct thread now? Nothing of what you said has anything to do with my suggestion.

you suggested renaming graphics services to free graphics services correct?
im suggesting removing all the sub forums inside the graphics section and just adding prefixes instead
