My observation of this forum...

    I think a large majority of forum members here that give advice are full of crap.... why? because I myself give advice and I dont know half of what I am talking about. :p

    I've seen several users take misleading information from here, "rewrite" it and post it on their blogs. :D

    I love DP and visit it on a daily basis BUT... Are DP forum posts credible enough to use as a reference source? Aside from forum rep and itrader, how do noobies such as I cut through the BS and faithfully believe in what we are reading?

    You always have to research any info you get.

    I would never just accept an answer given by anybody in here as 100% fact, but I have gotten sooo much great information from DP.

    There is a lot of very good and helpful information here on DP and there is just as much bad stuff if not even more however after a while you get used to the system and can see what is good and what is not and then you can truly appreciate DP for what it is.

    Analyze the information yourself. Web is tooooo big and you can definitely cross-check if the info is correct or not.

    Btw, there is a lot of valuable information on DP.

    Well first of all no matter what, you cant trust anyone online so guess that sums up your question ;)
    also advices are universal opinions on DP and if you really want real answer, contact offical site of question if possible.

    Example: what advice else can we give if a person ask "if this is OK with adsense TOS"?
    all answers will be repeating or seem useless to the questioner but they are all good advices, but questioner has opened discussion type rather than contacing offical adsense.

    most newbies copy the answer that is made and reqrite to increase post count
    nothing online is credible to be used as a source, it is quesitoner/viewer's duty to reason

    whether it's taken from any source outside DP or not is really not in our hands anymore. We have no responsibility over the actions of other members. but if you know of some post taken from other blogs without permission from the owner, you may point that out.

    but I guess only a few are doing this and doesn't speak of the majority. some will say anything to increase their post count even if it's lacking substance and you can't blame them. others will say one line or two but doesn't mean it's irrelevant. it may just be to corroborate something or to give way to a different kind of thought. the post will speak itself. you can choose to ignore it or not. next time you will know which posts matter or have more weight.
