I have been trying to cancel a project that the programmer is not responding about but I can't contact you!!! I can't tell you how frustrating this is. There are many other sites like this, maybe I will give them a try.

Often it happens like a buyer awards the project especially in small projects freelancers tend to work on the projects and then later when a note is sent to buyer to complete payments they do not reply i think it will be better if scriptlance puts a rule to place escrow for the project before awarding the selected bid from a programmer like if buyer wants to select programmer a and the bid is $300 then it should be necessary to have $300 in escrow before awarding the project

i guess an api access for scriptlance will be helpful . From chrome ,firefox to iphone android , it can be made more accessible and automated notifications reach faster. 

If buyer is allowed to escrow with poor rating it will be in high risk to get transferred once released. So, Scriptlance should ensure a risk free payment

Forcing NEW buyers to post projects limited to verified and certified freelancers will decrease the chance of failure for the buyer's first project.

This could apply to buyers who signup up within X days, or only for their first Y projects posted.

Display the Project Cancellation Ratio in anywhere in front page so that a Programmer can get an idea before he cancel any project . 

Display how many concurrent projects has the coder in hands. Its frustating to select someone and then realize that he is working in another 3-4 projects at the same time.

It happend to me many times, and I'm sure that other buyers should have the same bad experiance, to select a programmer and later on, to find him working on other projects too. Result? Getting emails from the programmer asking for something that is not on my project, or big delays on delivery. Worst than all (that's why I'm asking to not allow bids in other projects), when you face the problem to have the coder disappeared or delaying in replies, because after eg my cheap project of $100, he awarded a new one of $1,000.
