Inside the directory forums, you can only post news about your site - such as new designs and mods etc, announce your directory, announce price changes etc inside the Sols. and announcements forum.
99% of the threads inside that sub forum are free directory owners trying to build up their amount of traffic and submissions. Webmasters on a low budget contantly bump the threads "submitted one, please approve" even though the sticky at the top says not to. There are so many posts mods cant give warnings to them all.
A professional webmaster like me, who wishes to announce news about his PAID directory, or wishes to find out about price cuts or special offers on other PAID directories, will find it impossible.
As mentioned, all the free directory offer threads get bumped so much, within minutes my thread which only applies to webmasters willing to pay gets thrown to page 4 and never read.
i think you should split this forum. One section for free directories, and another section for paid directories and other directory news, like announcements of new designs, new offers, new mods installed.
Otherwise DP is becoming a place full of spam and "link approved" and other un-needed posts. The mods cant handle it, and it really bugs guys like me who are actually willing to pay and are not interested in the free directories.
