I think it's funny that you ask developers to rate themselves and not give you work samples. I suggest referring to Lord Ralex's post on staff applications.
Most of the developers here are completely clueless... I'm sure including the two that have posted here (though I don't mean to bash them without looking at their works). It just seems silly that they'd rate themselves as 9 and 10 (even a "professional in java") at 18 and 17 years old...
For perspective, I'm 18 and I hold a position as a software engineer (yes, an engineer, not a developer -- there's a difference, thanks) full-time, working with payments, security, and networks... And even through all that I'd done with that stuff before this job, I thought I knew a lot. Man, was I wrong -- and it's not like I didn't know advanced stuff, either; I've been working with secure sockets/data transfer and large-scale concurrency for years. Working in the PCI (Payment Card Industry) has thrown a lot of stuff at me, especially working for a company that sells to Google Wallet, PayPal, MasterCard, Visa... You name it, we probably sell to them, assuming they do their own payments. But then again, I was also offered an interview and thereafter a job at Amazon because of my open-source work samples (no, not Minecraft related; my plugins are on a totally separate github) and certifications. Make what you want of that. Point being, an actual job forces you to learn; a job off these forums... Not so much, so you get freelancers who think they're the best.
TL;DR: Don't expect much out of these forums. Everyone thinks they're a 13-17 year old programming prodigy, but they aren't.
P.S. You aren't allowed to offer monetary compensation on these forums. Also, I'm not trying to bash people, just put these forums into perspective.

Experience? I have developed part of the dragons plugin for mineplex, if you need proof, I can figure that out, but cant show you code unfortunately

Rate yourself from 1-10? - 10, I am a professional in java.
Thanks!

When was it ever said that I was a professional? Did I ever mention that? I rated myself a 9 because the question of 'how good of a developer are you?' is unbiased as hell. You can't just stamp a number of experience on someone. Do you know what work I've done outside of Minecraft? Have you seen my contributions to open-source projects? Are you aware of the job opportunities I've been given and the people/companies I have worked with?
I think not, therefore you shouldn't criticize and blatantly stereotype developers. Especially those who start out in Minecraft or other gaming communities. It's best to learn in a way that you feel comfortable but challenging. Minecraft modding and server plugin development is seen as a challenge for a load of people. Not everyone has 7 years of job experience on the line prior to it, and it's not to be expected by anyone.
"TL;DR: Don't expect much out of these forums. Everyone thinks they're a 13-17 year old programming prodigy, but they aren't."
You don't know that. Clearly I'm no prodigy, nor would I ever even consider myself one. I'm just a student who takes their free time to develop, and I make money doing it then why the hell not? Stop bashing people based on their age, you don't know what experience they've had. I find it ironic that your age is 18, but your criticisms stop at 17, as if 18 magically makes you a better developer.
Also not flaming here, but it'd be great if y'all would chill out on the younger developers.
How old are you? 18
What is your timezone? EST
Do you have experience with MySQL databases? Yep
Are you able to work with packet/reflection handlers (using ProtocolLib or custom classes)? Yep
How much time do you estimate do have every day? As much as needed.
Examples of past projects? http://hydraulix.net/ Did a large amount of plugins for this server recently
What is your Skype username? ZeusAllMighty11

Sorry I didn't mean to offend you, as a developer I just wanted to help you increase you chances of finding someone.
As a developer I can agree with some of your points, but it's definitely possible to get a server up in 10 days. He never said it'd be anything extravegant
Name: Zeus
IGN: ZeusAllMighty11
Age: Could tell on skype
Time Zone: EST
Do you have previous experience?: 2 years
Examples of above: Can show on skype

I am currently the only developer in my group, but if you're experienced with:
- MySQL or MongoDB (prefer both)
- Java at least a full year
- Bukkit API at least a full year
