    D.P.P.D - Digital Point Police Department

    Are you sick of all the scams and lies ?

    Did you get ripet off by a dp member?

    "Do you want to make 80,000 USD in just few min?" - i'v seen to many of this non realistic threads going around over and over.

    I'm On for opening some kind of Group here at DP, that will take care of the snicky scammers running around in out pure community.

    If there is allready a group of some kind, it's oviest there not doing a good job cus i keep seeing scamy threads reposting again and again.

    What do you say ?

    Well, that will be the job of the mods and normal members job is to report to the mods.
    Plus if it really becomes a case/fraud issue it is no longer reliable by DP and it is the real case as in legal, offline laws, and etc...

    I'm talking about making a group of people that will "HUNT" down the scammers, so the community stays safe

    You do not have sufficient admin rights, only the mods and admins have them. I don't think such a group would be of use without the blessings of the mods/admins of DP.

    Mods have a lot in mind besides Hunting down scammers, they got a forum to run.
    posts to edit/move/review/del And much more.

    Again i'm talking about a group that there only focuse it to find and ban/report scammers.

    I think any responsible member will do that, they won't need to be a specific group on that.

    we need mods not mobs.
    I like your idea though. But additonally to ^,
    in order to take this "group" to be in action, it will take DP several months or years to choose members.
    It cant just give random members rights to ban and handle scammer/spammer/doubt, suspects-with-no-concret-proofs, etc... and its better off to assign new mods than this group

    Agreed but it is also the individual members responsibility to police themselves. Do not expect someone to do your job for you.

    If digitalpoint decides to do this fine if not do not try to get a mob going. You stand a better chance of making people mad then anything else. Remember the tools to keep yourself safe are free use them.

    Personally an attack on anyone in public without due evidence is wrong in my book. All these he scammed me threads should be shut down and if reposted both members get banned IMO. Not only do these threads make others look bad but yourself and dp also.

    Remember this site is indexed heavily by google.

    Kaung your right, take some of DP finest and recruit them to the D.P.P.D.
    It's obvious that only serten people are fit for that job, I only this that there should be some kind of action towords redusing the Scams around the forums. And i'm not talking about MODs

    zerocapacity No one has ever scammed me since 5 years ago when i was 17 years old and i looked for a get rich plan.
    You must take notice to serten thread going around here, "80,000 in just few day/min" - this is 99.99% SCAM. You know it i know it But they DONT. I feel a need to protect Them even if it steals 20Min of my busy day.

    the only way to reduce scams here at DP is to be vigilant, know who you are dealing with and use common sense.

    you'll never see what your suggesting here.

    Agree, you are responsible for your own actions, on the other hand when we are browsing through the forums and see something fishy it doesn't hurt to press the report button so that the mods can be notified, in doing so, we are helping ourselves as well as helping the community get rid of those scammers.

    Yup. And give them red reps. That's what the reputation system is for. If othere see the scam and they all give the person red reps then others will not fall for his scam.

    Go ahead and spend the $25 and learn How I made it. If you are not happy and can prove you did what I say in the ebook I will happily refund you $50. Double your god damn money back.

    Open offer in the forum. If you are willing to do the work I'll put my money where my mouth is...

    So... whatcha gonna do?
