Some pathetic people at DP...

    Hello Everybody,

    Just thought I'd share some of my disappointment here.

    I've recently been getting NEGATIVE iTrader ratings from usernames I have never seen before.

    These usernames have just a few posts to their credit, all have 0 (or below) iTrader ratings themselves.

    I just don't know where they're coming from really! :confused:

    This has been really annoying me for the past 48 hours and I'm not quite sure what I should be doing.

    I've reported it to the mods, hopefully something positive will turn up.

    Has this ever happened to other users here having a sort of "high" iTrader count?

    Thanks!

    Some more morons aboard?

    That's why i defend that DP foruns should not be free... If those morons had to pay 50$ a month to stay in here, well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand they would leave...

    i do agree that maybe there could be some sort of paid system in place but also alot of good members who dont buy and sell alot for big amounts may lose out

    maybe, but i believe 70-90% of DP members can and will pay some small amount just to stay "moron free"...

    just my 2 cents ;)

    50 bucks sounds like a good way to filter out spammers, but still need to keep the forums readable at least by everyone or you'd likely lose a huge amount of the audience.

    I think $50 is to much, but i agree with the idea. Even a single dollar a month would get rid of most if not all of the scammers. Scammers aren't going to pay any amount to join the forum, they'll go elsewhere instead.

    Its really sad.. hopefully Karans negative itraders will be removed.

    And yes the idea of keeping a nominal fee for staying at DP is a good idea. Please tell me in advance when this happens .. i need to save :D

    Something affordable, but enough to deter idiots.

    Who's going to pay $5/month just to leave negative iTrader?

    At least not me :) but maybe if you offended, angered that guy so much he may just part with the money. Though it won't be that easy to enrage someone that much.....

    That's different, its not a random attack.

    If someone annoyed me enough I'd pay the $5

    Paying for DP? if that happens I don't think I can afford that. And if that ever happens for sure a lot of people like me "not spammer" will migrate to other FREE forums.

    Maybe a royalty fee to those who made a lot of money here or like a TAX, or paying $1 every iTrader you gave.

    Not us who just stay here for a little buck and for research.
