I have always considered that the rules only apply to jobs posted in the Freelance section. But of course that is only my interpretation.
Carrying out works and payments for Freelance Orders outside of the service is forbidden.
Note the capitalisation of Freelance Orders.
To my mind, if a job is arranged outside of the Freelance section and never having been posted in the Freelance section, it is not a Freelance Order.

How can I complain against freelancers who use the platform to get ideas by bidding for projects which they don't intend to finish after building some standing ?
It is quite funny that the freelancer I hired has used ideas to build signals selling and indicator selling business on mql5 itself while depriving the genuine
coders from getting orders and sitting on those orders just to seek ideas.
The freelancer is not a trader but he has collected a library of modules and indicators available free of cost on several websites and uses freelance services
to peddle them. In my case it has not worked because the freelancer is not an experienced one and he thinks just by stealing ideas from others, he can
set up a signal and indicators business.
I have invested a lot of time in interacting with him but till date he has not been able to produce any prototype or an EA that can be downloaded.
On top of it, when I go for arbitration, $10 fee is deducted by mql5.
Instead of a customer being compensated by such rogue freelancers, the customer is penalised.
I hope the mql freelancer service manager takes a not of this and blacklist such freelancers.
In fact, I went to his side and found I am not the only customer who is left in the lurch for more than three months like this. Others have been also taken for a ride because the newbie programmer wanted ideas for setting up his business.

I have a question about the Rules of Using the Freelance service:
"
Fulfilling Orders outside of the Freelance service
"
What if a member asks another member directly via the messenger (without having created an freelance order) to do a coding job. Is it allowed to fulfill this personal job outside Mql5 after exchanging personal contacts?
Or is this already considered a violation, although it was never planned to publish a freelance order?
I am not sure if point 3 talks about carrying out works and payments outside of the service, after the freelance order was published.
Just trying to avoid breaking rules by accident here.
Thx, wax.
