Hi fest
I'n the Chief Executive of Freelancer.com.
The employers from RAC are all on Freelancer - and they are a lot more active than they were on the old site (which had a use interface from 1995 and was very difficult to use).
Regards Matt

If a buyer cancel his credit card used to pay for a project, the coder is not protected in any way. Freelancer support will simply send the coder to the TOS :). In other words the escrow payment is not guaranteed by Freelancer.
Same goes for oDesk if you work by the hour.
I had so many "points" from my rac account usage I could buy time to skype call the freelancer CEO - so I did - and it was never fulfilled, even after me trying to contact support about it multiple times.
The gamification angle? please it just gets in the way (although the new site design it's less obnoxious)
The quality of freelancers is garbage and freelancer.com just doesn't have the same level of targeting rac/vworker had to weed out the useless people.
Sorry for such a negative post, I could say worse, but it's just been very painful experience for me ever since that acquisition. To the point where I barely post jobs anymore and find alternate ways to hire.
You are incorrect about the quality of the freelancers and the dominant ones on the site are all ex-RAC.
Freelancer is terrible for hiring people compared to Odesk, just like Warriorforum is a bunch of "guru's" are trying to sell you ebooks claiming you will make $1352523 a day for "only $79". If the method was that good, why aren't you doing it yourself?
This thread is a good laugh about the sale: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/66...
Yes the BHW thread is quite funny, I even appreciate feedback from 15 year olds.
