It would have been useful to include another possible answer:
"When seeing a BB entry request".

I submit an entry after my first invoice is paid, regardless of whether one or more assignments were invoiced. This way, I can also rate one-time customers.

| Sometimes entries are made too soon | Jan 6, 2008 |
I've noticed that people often make a Blue Board entry after having done only one small assignment for an outsourcer. I feel this is really too soon to be making comments such as "Great agency to work for" etc. In my experience, it takes several months, if not years, to really get to know anyone, and that includes outsourcers and translation agencies. This can sometimes make an outsourcers' Blue Board record confusing or misleading, when there are loads of 5s from people who have done one or two... See more I've noticed that people often make a Blue Board entry after having done only one small assignment for an outsourcer. I feel this is really too soon to be making comments such as "Great agency to work for" etc. In my experience, it takes several months, if not years, to really get to know anyone, and that includes outsourcers and translation agencies. This can sometimes make an outsourcers' Blue Board record confusing or misleading, when there are loads of 5s from people who have done one or two assignments for them, together with a couple of 1s from people who have had a negative experience, such as late payment.
I think it would be better if Blue Board entries could only be made after working regularly for an outsourcer for at least three to four months. The only exception should be for late payments, in which case a negative entry could be made after the first assignment.
