Blue Board Entries and Fees

Any member may use the Blue Board to make, request or review entries:
Platinum members have unlimited access to all records, and non-platinum members can buy temporary access to records one at a time, at a cost of 50 browniz or 50 US cents. (All members start with 300 BrowniZ, so you can buy access to 6 records without doing a thing. You also earn 50 BrowniZ for making an entry for an outsourcer for which you have worked--so if you contribute actively, you may effectively enjoy free access.)

Note: What you enter is not anonymous, and you may be held personally responsible for any false or libelous comments. The outsourcer will be able to publicly reply to your comment as well. Furthermore, once an outsourcer has commented on your response, you cannot delete or edit the entry. (However, if both parties decide on having an entry removed, site staff will be more than happy to hide both entries.)

FYI Blue Board Rule:

You may only make entries for clients with whom you have worked on a project and to whom you have delivered work on time and without complaints related to quality. You may not make entries solely on the basis of negotations or other preliminary interactions.

If you have worked on a project with a client but were late or otherwise negligent in delivering work, you may not make an entry for that client. The Blue Board should also not be used to threaten outsourcers.

'Self-entries' by outsourcers (or by members representing an outsourcer) are not permitted.
