Service Teams (out!)

[Joshua C]

So for a while, we see that there's a shit of Service Teams now, and millions more to come and join here in the race.

I was saying that we should give these people their own area, probably a sub-forum or a category where they can post their stuff.

Service Team just goes above and makes the normal categories seems pretty trash.
An example of how it looks (in the web section)

Pretty much, it makes the freelancer's ORIGINAL thread look bad as the service team overtakes it.

So they should be given a different category where they can post (ONE THREAD WITH ALL THEIR STUFF THEY OFFER)

There could be a category named as "Service Teams"
And 2 sub-forums such as "Offering" and "Requesting"

If you disagree, please state why.

Ps. I know it would count as a bit more spam, but it will reduce the spam by a ton.

Team owners, don't get triggered.
Its not about your thing, but 80% of the people avoid spam.​

Has been request so many times to remove or ban service teams.

That only benefits freelancer, as I'm also a freelancer I should be in agreeance with the suggestion however keeping an open view.
Those threads do add up to spam, but again most of these threads are reposts, just go and report them. However if it's not a repost then nothing should be done. Those threads also deserve a spot regardless of what they are offering. It's still a service.

The service teams are a majority, they should be given their status in terms of a new category for them.

You can't ban them as its still a "service" which represents this market, but rather you can give them a majority status and give them their own category and move the current service threads there so its good and less spam.[DOUBLEPOST=1566411074][/DOUBLEPOST]

They are not a majority, definitely not.
There are more member accounts than business accounts
How about , only be able to post a service team thread with a business account

Use a business account to post in the "service team" category.

If you're looking for a web designer, you'll look in the web design forum to find someone. When you do, a list of every single web design service on the site will show here, including both service teams and individual freelancers which is exactly how it should be in my opinion.

Service teams aren't an idea invented by MC-Market, it is our users recognising the benefits as freelancers and customers of dealing with managers to receive a more professional experience when handling commissions. If you personally would not want to deal with a service team or want to exclude them from your searching for services, then simply focus on the individual freelancers.

In a market like MC-Market, as long as services are ethical, I feel like the fewer restrictions we put on the way that people sell their products or services, the easier it is to transact on our platform.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
