It would be really good that official staff officially announce in forum or in TOS which kind of services are banned. A lot of us older members here know about it, but we know only trough some forum rumors while new members mostly start selling banned services

@Asmodeus has preached this to no end that this should be done. We had spent (more on his end) hours for several days reporting services that was not just duplicate within SEOClerks, but duplicate with Fiverr gigs as well... It took an override of spam for this to occur?

@Asmodeus We aren't penalizing new members. The new implementation of SiftScience scores every user with a risk score (my account is rated at 24%, yours is rated at 12.4% at this moment). The system works by labelling users as good or bad and attributing scores to users based on actions. So, if a user spams the site they are banned and labeled as bad. The user then goes and creates a new account, their actions are the same as the previous account and a calculated high risk score is assigned to their account. The score changes based on actions and data collected. It really is an amazing system, however, it takes time to train it and we are working with our rep. at SiftScience to get the most accurate score possible.
Based on the above score, users that create a new service above the score threshold are sent into service review. Users above another threshold cannot PM, access the create service page and other restrictions. As we identify more and more users, the precision of the score improves. We can then begin to lower the thresholds until we have very few spam/fake services/fraudulent orders/money funneling/etc.
I agree, we do need to make a public list of services that we do not allow and link to it. However, we do have some controls in place. If a user attempts to create certain banned services, their service is rejected automatically with an error message. Give it a go, try to create a service with "Facebook Likes" in the title. This is a clear indicator for new and old members who create these services.

I'm not sure I understand the Sift score though. So the HIGHER your score percentage, the closer you are to a "bad" threshold and maybe declared a spammer, etc?

Dear bakerken28 ,
I not only respect but also respect all of the seoclerks sellers & buyers. You are right. But you are thinking bangladeshi people are not using or can't use english properly. It is not right. I am sure you are a best person. I want to point you about our country where most of the people know english properly. It is sure bro. Yes, it is most important for seoclerks to respect all sellers & thinking about all sellers because we are the main source of seoclerks income. Pls don't mind if any wrong.
Regards,
Jabed

I myself brought here a lot of affiliates. 95% of whom were sellers. They all copied and pasted their own service description that was already there at some other marketplace.

Copy/paste description or title what your are telling is not allowed on seoclerks. It is really right way but you have to forgive old seller who are copy/paste others service because they didn't know about it.
Before some days ago, Seoclerks made a rules not to copy/paste other's service. It is ok. Now it will be better for active this rules for all who are new service maker, because old service makers didn't have any idea about it. Pls don't mind for my words. I am saying because i can see most of the seoclerks user are not coming forums so they don't know how to use or how to handle their seoclerks account. So, i am requesting, you & all seoclerks admin to help the sellers who don't know about it & give them alert about this matter it will be so helpful for all sellers.
Pls it is only for advice, i think it will be helpful for all. Hope you will be kind consider about this matter.
Thanks,
jabed

I have seen many sellers here who just used to copy and paste and didn't even know what the service means. That's a great move.

Absolutely not! Copy/paste description is a bannable offense. Under no circumstances is copy/paste permitted. Please don't risk your account.
If you find copy/paste description, report it, don't emulate it.

What about people from Bangladesh? SEOClerks is what its today just because of those people. 99% of them can't communicate in proper English. I don't think that SEOClerks should be so strict with it's sellers. Experienced buyers can tell whether a service is high quality or not right after a glance.
Let me come to all the points one after one:-
- Write your own original service description. Never use a copy/paste from another service or site.
AaronSEO, one of the top sellers here copied and pasted Bert's description even though both were featured sellers. I don't whether Bert warned him or reported him, after that he immediately changed the description. Sellers from non-English speaking countries are very anxious to write their own description. If you never approve their service at the time they sign up here, it is most likely to turn them off to ever describe their service here again.
I myself brought here a lot of affiliates. 95% of whom were sellers. They all copied and pasted their own service description that was already there at some other marketplace. If the price of that particular service at some other marketplace and here is the same then the staff should not have any objection with it. If a seller has copied and pasted something here which is available at some other marketplace for half the price or something like that and you are suspicious that the seller looks like a reseller then only you should dismiss his/her service.
I do not at all promote the copying of a service description, it makes the original writer very angry and is not right at all. But I don't think that the admins should become so strict with them. It can make a genuine seller, not a spammer very anxious who has other ways to make money. He is very much likely to never come back to SEOClerks.
Let's not forget that SEOClerks is what it is today just because of the sellers. I believe it's the only SEO Marketplace that allowed people from third world countries so much of freedom and look where it is today.
- Use an original photo, not trademark or copyright
I agree with this one.
- Be creative and detailed with your service description
If a seller wants to sell his/her service as much as possible, he/she will definitely write as much creative and detailed service description as possible. But if a seller is not well-versed in writing and doesn't have enough money to pay professional writers to write for him, I don't think it is fair to disapprove his/her service.
- Ensure your description is lengthy, more than a paragraph.
I would say the same for this as in the previous point that it should be promoted but shouldn't become a point for the disapproval.
- Use proper spelling, punctuation and grammar and always spell check before submission
Again the same as in previous 2 points. It should be recommended but shouldn't become a point for the disapproval.
- Don't submit a similar service as one you already have published
100% agree with this one. I have seen a lot of sellers here selling the same service at multiple different prices.
