    Damn Rob, if we keep agreeing on things my whole world might be flipped. :D

    I agree the stumble exchanges like Digg exchanges are against the TOS of Stumble Upon. It creates a more honest forum when DP respects the rules of other companies.

    I think you are doing some really positive things and I hope you keep up the good work. :)

    Now my last suggestion, move the under $5 sales to a non-iTrader sub-forum so freebie forum can really be a freebie forum again.


    *This post is in memorial of all the scammers who will lose their sources of income!* :p

    Whoa!!

    That's a big move and a great step in the right direction. I guess there will be quite a few members left without any grounds to do business from this decision. However, that's life online. Get used to it. One thing we can always depend on in this industry is CHANGE!

    Col :D

    No, according to the sticky, they should be placed in the freebie forum. :confused:

    That is causing a lot of non-freebie to clog up the freebie forum. Did you change that?

    Guy did a sticky that said all sales under $5 should be placed in the freebie forum. This is making a mess of the forum along with all the exchange threads. This was done to prevent iTrader abuse but made a bigger mess. Can you put a sub domain with the low price sales separate from the freebie forum with a no iTrader feature.

    Or since the scammer stuff is done with, can they just be put back in the regular buy and sell sections they belong?

    This will definitely bring down the number of scammers in DP. However is there anyway to stop them from selling their services via PM?

    Over the last few days quite a few members have signed up and started spamming their services via PM.

    I'm very happy that this a step in the right direction, kudos to the mods and all those who kept screaming on top of their voices for these services to be restricted from being offered @ DP.

    No itraders can be givin through that, hard to sell doing it that way. They will eventually get tired of it.

    Forward it to a mod and we'll check it out. ...and most likely apply a ban.



    Yeah, our goal is to whittle away everything except adult domains.

    Excellent decision! Now, like everyone else, I just hope those Digg/stumble exchanges get banned soon... :)

    Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the emails part. Are we no longer allowed to commision someone to create a bunch of free email accounts and then hand over the login information?

    Regards,
    Nick

    Yep, you got it! There is no buying or selling of any accounts. That means emails accounts too.

    No need for them except to send out a bunch of spams and scams. :mad:
