The real point (at least as far as I'm concerned) is that the way this site operates tends to enable action at the low end of the market; that this is not some sort of unfortunate and unintended byproduct, but a deliberate strategy; and that there are absolutely no signs that this approach will change.



I guess the only solution is to move to those sites which cater to elite professionals only - the outsourcers posting there will take that into consideration and offer much higher rates.
