Request to Add a "Spam" Option to Report Job Posts

[mahimaislam]

I'm yet to get my first job on UpWork. But I have read the guides and terms and conditions. I'm filtering through the job post carefully since I have limited number of connects.

I request the UpWork Community to add a section named "Spam" so that I can report the job posts which are actually spam. Only 15 minutes into my job post and I have found at least 10 spam job posts. Now, I am not pasting the exact links lest it goes against the community rule.

But I strongly recommend UpWork to add the option of "Spam" so that I can report accordingly.

You're using the wrong option. That is NOT how you report inappropriate job posts. That just hides that post from your feed. It doesn't report a thing.

To flag a job post as inappropriate, you use the "Flag as inappropriate" button...

You are misinformed if you believe that this is a reporting function. It is not, this is for you to make jobs collapse you don't want to see. They should really reduce those options to one: don't want to see it. Or just the thumbs down would work for me. Upwork, please do that. It would save me a ton of time to make a job go away in one click instead of two. 

If you want to report a job, you need to open it and use the flagging option.
