99designs rip off

Q: 11 reasons for designers to stay away from 99 designs.

Dear friends. In December, we decided to research crowd sourcing platform 99 designs for honesty, openness and competition for designers. The results obtained by us is staggering. If you are a designer and you want to earn extra money with you ideas and hard work, 99 designs pack your ideas and throw you out. Naked facts: 1. You just registered and open profile on 99 designs. You does not have access to all competitions. You are given only the poor pieces from the main cake . 2. The stated price competition does not coincide with the real. For example at the moment one African company announced a competition for the logo and corporate identity. You have a list price of $ 740, and if you go to the site unregistered you will see that the price of the competition is 1400 GBP. Not a bad difference! In 1000 dollars. 3. You are not available for all competitions with your level. What does this mean? 99 designs, have several levels for designers. Simple, certified designer and Platinum designers. How to get the platinum status, we don't know. I think that its only 99 designs stuff. In this case, you have no right to participate even at the simplest level in all competitions. 4. All your unique ideas placing in an open competition, will be copied by other participants and moderators don't care. 5. We participated in only guaranteed financial contests by website. What does this mean. The client leaves a deposit to 99 designs and if you manage to get to the finish line, you will get the price from 99 designs. But, actually it's much worse. You develop the work and to the date of expiry of the competition, the client suddenly extends it, and then do not choose any designs. You will be left behind as a stub in the garbage. And no one responcible. 6. 99 design support is not responsible for your queries if you're a designer, but if you're a client, everything happens the other way round. 7. 99 designs to spit on you, on your rights, on the law and on the personality of your idea. At any time you can be blocked and usurp all your current works. The reasons may be different, for example, the type of your design do not comply with a 99 Designs Code, which prohibited the copy images from clip art. We agree with that, but not the way how 99 designs use this rule. So it happens to us. We were accused, we have inserted clip art picture to our design. However, we are pro and knows well how to draw in vector. As a result, our picture turned out a lot better than the one with which, we were compared. But none of 99 design moderators didnt understand that our work this really our work. They sent us a similar picture as a reason of our blocking, and told us, our work is exactly this clipart. 8. Despite the fact, we were accused of plagiarism, we won in this contest. And what do you think? Any decent website should immediately deal with the charges and at least suspend the contest to find out the truth, but not this resource. They finished the contest, the client got the design. What exactly got the customer copy or real unique design? It does not matter. Most important thing, as usual, is money. 9. Any your competitor can write denunciation on you, lie and slander you. Then you will be kicked from the site. Its our case. We were accused of plagiarism by our competitor contest. But customers love our job and did not want another. As a result, this lying piece of $#*! started spamming with denunciations 99 designs administration. And what happened? You think 99 designs care? Definitely not! The just suspend our profile. 10. Many contests expose you for 1 or 2 hours before the end of that just deprives you of the opportunity to take a part in. 11. The main reason to stay away from the resource 99 designs! Even if you win the contest, 99 designs does not guarantee the payment. Its simply pick up your prize and block you. Than they just need to ignoring you. We won the competition on December 22. Today is January 1, and we have not seen the money. I think that will not. This is the first 11 reasons why you should stay away from the resource 99 designs. The next 11 reasons we will publish later. Dear friends, do not believe these fraudsters. You are just slaves for this recourse, but they forget that without designers such resources do not live.
