In the past few months after joining DP, I found DP the best place for any webmasters to be in. I am atleast online here for 4 hours each day. I find these link sale / buy threads section a very useful part. (Althogh DP do not endorse buying/selling links) But sadly in last 1-2 months, spammers have joined in big numbers and in networks. It is very difficult for an automated system to identify it as well as stop it. But as a buyer of links, if you execute little caution, it is very easy to identify these SPAMMERS (Not sure if it makes any sense by reporting PMs but if I think the PM is purely SPAM I am continuing to report it) I follow the following steps Any identified SPAM I report (Even if the post/thread I see is not related to me). A collective effort from many DP members will help slowely make this place less attractive for SPAMMERS. Any Spammy PMs I report (I ask for health links and member sends me a PM titles health links and sends a big list which makes no sense to me) Do not even respond to SPAMMERs. Give negative reputations (thumbs down) to those members who just post on a thread just to increase post counts. Never think of buying links from websites with domain names nothing to do with the subject. Do not think that a person having a lot of iTraders is very trustworthy. Have seen people increasing iTraders in a ring. As a premium member I get to see a person's true country. If he is lying in the location area, avoid communicating with him I request other DP members to add few points here and make life at DP better for the webmaster community. I request DP to add a feature request area. Members can bring in lots of ideas. Example: I would suggest a higher iTrader rating value for a rating given by buyer. A even higher rating if paypal payment was done through DP. So on. Hope this helps. Hope this thread is in the right category.
