Paying job offers vs non-paying job offers

There needs to be a way by DEFAULT to tell if a job is a paying job or not.
I mean for every job offer there are probably 100 "please work on my idea for free" type posts.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the Help Wanted Ads section signal to noise ratio is way to high to be of any real use to anyone right now it seems.
Maybe a it should default to the top 50 jobs that are offering real pay instead of just the last five?
I know that there would be a problem with people putting stuff in the wrong area on purpose. But I think there is a fairly painless solution.
Add a check-box or something that says "this is a real paying position and must be approved, non-paying positions will be rejected." and have all of those approved by a person much like the "resources" are, based on what I see that would be much less traffic of submissions than.
If the check-box is un-checked then no review needs to be done.
Then you have a way to show just the real jobs from the pleas for charity.

I would really like to see a way to rate members that accept jobs, for pay or not. Twice now I've had people join the team just to disappear within a very short time. There should be a way to rate a members performance so that others don't end up relying on people who just bail without saying a word. Perhaps something along the lines of EBay.

Perhaps I should post this seperately but this struck a nerve with me. I would really like to see a way to rate members that accept jobs, for pay or not.

That is a cool idea Mac! I agree that that would be helpful for the Job Market thing. Only prob I see is potential for sabotage and the like. It's possible that heated debate in forums could lead to people doing that to eachother. So there'd hafta be a check so that only people could rate people that have been on the same projects. Even that isn't full-proof, but it would be a good check none-the-less.
