A humble petition regarding this forum

[kinector]

Upwork guys, since you are such an awesome bunch of people (you sent me some very nice swag and everything), would you consider my humble petition?

Rename the 'Coffee Break' section as 'Coconut Break'.

It would make a lot of things... just better. 😉:desert_island:️🤪

My reasoning is very simple: There are too few coconuts on this forum as it is. Let's encourage all freelancers on Upwork to not work for peanuts but to go straight for coconuts!!! 🥥😁🥥

Imagine the implications of every single freelancer leveling up their game! 🤑

Thank you for the shout-out, Mikko! We also appreciate your participation, feedback and advice you're providing in the Community forums!

In terms of your suggestion, that's something we would definitely take into consideration but I'd like to invite other Community members to share if agree with renaming the Coffee Break.

What say you valued users? We're open to other suggestion if you feel strongly about going into a different direction.

Too late, but maybe they will add tea, mocaccino, OJ, smoothies etc as well.

Can't roll my eyes far enough back in my head on this one. 

Nope for me too. 

If they want to do a naming contest then let's actually have entries and a real vote.

As opposed to enshrining one FL's ego trip/personal brand? 

(Yes, I realize this remark likely puts paid to any shred of hope I ever had to get an UW coffee mug. Or flask like the one Jamie got. That's way cool and something I would use in public a lot.)

Oh but it's being voted for by people who have never posted in the forum before, ever, and suddenly decided there is an overwhelming need for adding "coconut" to a part of a forum they've never used....

I also believe in Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny.

Are you saying that this whole vote was rigged? I'm shocked! 

Personally, I vote for "wine break".

HI, would like to connect whith you!

[1c952e84]

I think I have just been scammed. The SEO guy I hired did a zoom with me but he says hes on linked in and hes not as well his Digitalhappiness.in website is bogus, or no text added.  I gave him $1300 last week. Is  there anything I can do?

Vladimir, Mikko was joking. I think. I'm not afraid to say that, since his coconut throwing reach doesn't extend to my little town in Lower Austria. I hope. 

[VladimirG]

Hi Martina,

That thought has crossed my mind but knowing how Mikko takes coconuts seriously I doubt it. I'd also be cautions with setting challenges like the one you proposed.

Vladimir, I think your risk assessment is accurate.

Powered by coconuts since 2014. 🙂:desert_island:️🙃

Yes he does. He doesn't have my home address, thankfully, I might be receiving mutilated coconuts or chopped off coconut heads in the mail as a threat. 

I vote for giving him one day a year for coconut day, maybe his birthday. He only has one birthday a year, just to be clear.

You hope? 🤣

You'd better pray the Great Brown Coconut for extra protection now, Martina! 😜

[martina_plaschka]

Fantastic idea, a true game-changer! Maybe not the most universally used term for a break in which one drinks coffee, but hey, we don't have to do like everybody else. 

1 kudo from me. 

[kinector]

Yes, exactly Martina! A big differentiator from all the other freelance sites. There's no tastier choice, I'm sure, ask anyone. 😇:desert_island:😛

[chander-vibin]

Coconut Break it is !...Agreed 100%

Being a south Indian, I love breaking coconuts literally !!

[kinector]

Fantastic, Vibin! Who doesn't?!?! 😍

South India is almost touching the latitude of Penang Island, Malaysia, so I bet the coconuts there are just as delicious as over here. 😉:desert_island:️😋

Big kudos to your direction from me!

[sohailrana99]

Agree to Mikko 😸 Coconut Break will be more exciting.

Exactly, Hassan! And the closer they fall, the more exciting it gets! 😜:desert_island:️😆

Helmets recommended.

[webtick]

Totally agree with Mikko 👍

[feed_my_eyes]

Sure, let's give Mikko more opportunities to talk about coconuts, since he doesn't already mention them enough.

[jr-translation]

He just needs his coconut thread like Ravindra has his for comic strips.

Great that you noticed that, Christine! I felt a strange shortage of coconut mentions lately, so I had an urge to do more. 😁:desert_island:️🤣
