I gave up on getting freelance clients through craigslist a long time ago. Most are bottom-of-the barrel clients that want a ton of work for very little money. Either that or they don't want to pay you after you've finished (and want a ton of features for the same price).
There needs to be a site that not only has a rating system for freelancers, but one for the companies paying them.
