I suggest the developpers adding an option to delete your own posts and threads in forums and make an easier process to blacklisting non-paying agencies. It looks like this forum is only made for whining with no reslt whatsoever. Like "They didn't pay me for 1 month of work - whine-whine - but I cannot mantion the agency's name - whine-whine." Sorry, it doesn't work for me.

@Marin Jan 3

You're not allowed to mention the agency by name in the forum, so you'll have to remove the name and URLs from your post, otherwise the moderators will hide your post.

1. You can't delete your own post, no.

2. You can EDIT your own post within 24 hours (click the edit icon at the bottom right of your post).

3. There is a loophole to the "do not mention clients" rule in which you can mention the fact that you have posted a negative Blue Board entry, and it is possible to set your profile settings to show to everyone which Blue Board entries you have made.

So, please, go to the Blue Board, find the agency, and post a "1" rating. Then, go to your profile page's settings here, and change it so that people who visit your profile page can see your Blue Board entries. Then, edit your post and state in it that you posted a Blue Board entry.

Also note: in ProZ.com terminology, "member" means "paying member" and "user" means "non-paying member".

All that is fine ... as long as your "1" rating does not magically disappear. Which could happen, from what I've read about that matter.
