How to Report Job Posts That Violate PPH Rules is Very Unclear

Does it seem like there is no straight forward way to report job posts that break PPH guidelines?

I had been invited to send a proposal for a job that clearly violated PPH rules (asking for sample work without payment). I was going to just report the job and move on however apparently I couldn't? I spent far too long looking through the post before I finally noticed the small greyed out 'send feedback on this project' text at the bottom of the clarification board. Am I just a big dummy or is this deliberately obstructive? It's tiny, it's greyed out, it's not framed as a 'button', and its placement and wording make it seem like it might be something to do with the clarification board.

I saw that two other freelancers had expressed concern about the job in the clarification board but the posting is still there 5 days later. So I guess my question is, how are freelancers supposed to protect themselves and others from these exploitative postings when there is no clear way to report them? How many people just look for the 'report posting' button, see that there isn't one and move on leaving these users to continue exploiting freelancers? You can't even easily access buyers profiles without first sending a proposal.

I would be interested in knowing what other freelancers think, is this just another example of PPH apparent preference for supporting and protecting buyers over freelancers?

    Hello,

     

    Yes, 

    I think this is just another way to exploit freelancers.

    I also reported a fake person. 

    Person revealed his Skype details as well and upon me reporting this to PPH, there was no response even after many days.

    Check my latest post about how to report fraud people. 

    I am going through similar kind of issue.
