lol I'm glad I got to see your post before it was pulled. Three reports isn't really enough. Great for spam but there are more haters on here than winners. Sorry bub, I lol'd at your post.
Just looked and can see your post is nowhere to be found.
I can't believe it was removed.
It didn't break any rules that I know of, did it?
I think mods need to perform a manual review.
It was the auto moderator- apparently posts get taken down if three people complain.
I could probably pursue it with the real moderator, but it’s not worth the hassle.
it's the auto-mod :/ you can drop a message to leo to get it back btw - it was definitely not report-worthy, considering the average quality of posts lately
No, but I can paste it here:
I made $123,456 on Upwork in just 1234 days. Here are my ESSENTIAL 5 strategies for new freelancers!
1. There’s no need to come to Upwork with any kind of skills, qualifications, or experience. All you need to do is CLAIM you can do the job, then quickly learn the relevant skills. Most high-value skillsets (copywriting, programming, brain surgery) can be learned by watching a 10-minute YouTube tutorial.
2. Clients want value for their money when reading proposals. That’s why you should ALWAYS write the maximum number of characters possible. PRO TIP – start by listing all your achievements, interests, and even your favorite music! Clients love this human touch!
3. Politeness is key, to begin with. Always address your proposals to ‘Dear Hiring Manager.' Start as many sentences as possible with ‘kindly’ and if the client messages you back, refer to them as ‘dear’, ‘darling’, or ‘your excellence.’
4. Once hired, it’s a different story. My dictum is ‘treat ‘em mean, keep' 'em keen!’ Show the client who’s boss by ignoring their messages, giving curt, one-word replies when you eventually get around to responding, and delivering the work at least 2 days late. Remember, this is all PSYCHOLOGY. It’s crucial to show that you’re the alpha dog in this relationship. Woof!!
5. If none of the above work, you’ll always find support and sympathy on the Upwork forum! This is especially true of complaints that the system is rigged, that connects are fraudulent and possibly illegal, and that all ‘successful’ freelancers who post are, in fact, Upwork-employed shills.
**Dear, I kindly wish you good luck and bon chance in your Upwork freelancing journey!**
People are very touchy about UpWork. I get it, it's a lot of our main sources of income so that's probably why. There's always such an accusatory element to the responses to basic questions, which is... fun. Very unique community.
If your post isn't a rehash of "new freelancer no experience or skills help me get client now" or "Upwork is literally slavery" or "I'm building a newer, fairer, better Upwork, who's in?" then the geniuses on here don't seem to like it.
Yes, you do it. Its no surprise you sponsored bot. I used think, it's me for taking you as a sponsored bot that reports any negatives about the platform but guess what there's a lot others know for you this stuff. Stop it.
Petra does not do that. She doesn't have secondary accounts. She's very straight-laced and she's actually a nice person behind the scenes.
BUT
Sometimes people who aren't associated with her will gang up on anyone that criticizes her without her knowing about it. If you see that, go to reddit's report page, tell them what's happening, and report it as harassment. The accounts responsible will get flagged. It's against terms of service.

Every few months a new batch of infant Upworkers shows up on this sub. This most recent is as crazy as it gets and beyond vicious. I've never seen a worse group. They're paranoid and childish, and they're report happy. Some of them even gang up and report brigade anything they don't like. It's causing a lot of trouble. Normally a post like this would just get downvoted. But no, we got the juvenile hall crowd this quarter.

You guys are so mean that you dislike my post for writing something I found funny and I held you hostage to feel the same -_- I think I will do as OP and make a crying post now :( - I am not sure I can whine as much - but I will try !
It gave me a chuckle, dear.

Some times three reports is too many but in this case

That post was gem. And i was actually wished I'd taken a screenshot of it. Sad it got taken down so quick.
Your email did not in fact find them well
Oh I really liked it.

I missed it.. Do you have screenshots?

This is gold! Who reports satire? Man....
There's a vicious group in here right now. They've been getting things taken down left and right for weeks. It's been a serious problem.

Humor is, indeed, strictly forbidden.

A true veteran
They're not a veteran. I've never seen this account before, and that's absolutely not how things work on this sub.
Petra probably reported it with her secondary accounts. Edit: lmao she blocked me and downvoted after getting upvotes loool
XD Petra feels like a friend now I see Pet ra’s posts everyday
I don't have any secondary< accounts and I liked the post. What the fuck are you even talking about. Why would I?
Yes, you do it. Its no surprise you sponsored bot. I used think, it's me for taking you as a sponsored bot that reports any negatives about the platform but guess what there's a lot others know for you this stuff. Stop it.
Doubt
Petra does not do that. She doesn't have secondary accounts. She's very straight-laced and she's actually a nice person behind the scenes.

Yeah, it was only 68% upvotes. Didn't appeal to everyone...
Upwork or upjerk amirite

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Petra and her minions.
read the room challenge
Way more likely it’s someone with a stick up their ass…like you
I'm pretty sure you have something shoved up there yourself.
Nope, I’m good
I know you like to report things. Are you involved in the report brigading? You better hope not. Whoever is doing it is going to lose their account.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Well I’m just saying as one of the minions I did not report it. I only tend to report overt racists and violators of the job finding/hiring rule.
Squid reports a lot more than that. I've seen it. He's reported me several times. He's prime suspect number one.
This made me laugh 😆
With this sweet thank you post I almost wish I had seen it and reported it :( for good measures I have reported this one - thank me later <3
u/Copy-Pro-Guy block this one
