Change to Top Coder Contest rules
|
9/3/2003: Top Coder Contest Rules Amended
Your feedback has been heard. The minimum contest qualifying rating has been lowered from a 7 to a 4 to prevent one hard-to-please buyer from ruining a coder (or holding them hostage). Coders are reminded that if they've delivered 100%, but the buyer disputes it...that they should place their projects into arbitration to allow the site to protect them. The new lowered cutoff should make the decision to do so even easier. Click here for the amended competition rules.

New Privacy Features for Buyers!

8/23/2003: New Privacy Features for Buyers
After a coder is selected on an open auction, the winning coder is displayed to the public along with the public project details. Some buyers have expressed an interest in keeping that information private to protect their competitive advantage in using Rent A Coder. To facilitate this, buyers can now choose to 'privatize' any bid request, or can choose to have the site automatically 'privatize' all future bid requests! Click here for full information.
