Ask Is it against the rules to mention competitor freelance platforms inside your profile description?

[Brendan]

A lot of freelancers assume they can mention wherever else they work, but many platforms have policies that specifically restrict naming competitors in your profile. Some will flag it, others will remove the mention entirely or even suspend the account depending on how serious they consider the violation. It is not always clearly stated in the terms, which is why many people get caught off guard. Have you ever had a profile flagged or edited because you mentioned another platform by name?
