just a suggestion that the name of this is changed to 'paid freelance' forum. It seems every day there are less genuine freelance jobs and more and more people posting mods or unpaid work.
I don't really understand how people would confuse freelance work with mods or royalty based projects, particularly if they get around to reading the posting rules.
I am full time freelance artist and it irks me to have to wade through the crap to find any genuine offers.

But seriously I don't see how the descriptions could be made any more clear? Is it that they aren't bothering to read the descriptions and confused by the titles?
Maybe change Freelance to "PAID Freelance"
and change Requests to "UNPAID Freelance / requests"
I can KIND of see how a dumbass would think that if they want someone for ongoing free mod work they would want to post in freelance when they should post in requests.
It's the equivalent of saying "Hey, come help me construct this supermarket, on the off chance it actually gets finished and becomes a successful business you will get a micro-fraction of the profit - if I remember to pay you that is "
I'm not sure if they just don't understand what freelance means or if they don't care, but maybe it should be labeled "PAID Freelance" (NO ROYALTIES ffs) like Mark Dygert suggested.
