I signed up to have an extra source of clients if necessary. I was too busy with other projects from Upwork to apply for any jobs on there before the qualifying period was up. What's the point in trying to maintain a high quality base of professionals if you make it awkward for actual professionals who happen to be busy on other jobs?

I see they now have the option to extend the qualifying period. Still, why judge quality based on time factors instead of job performance and client feedback? These time limits don't make sense. It's not a logical system and it puts me off using them in future. What other nonsensical features/hassle might I discover at a later date?
