    I understand that something was necessary for fighting spam but if like was to be introduced there should be some provisions for old members. I had some important reasons to come here. And here I find I cant start a new thread. :/ :/ :/
    Some provisions should have been made for existing members via itrade scores. Anyways I hope this works. Looking forward for 2 likes. :)

    Sorry for my Bad English language, but i think this is very stupid rule.
    Today i try to create thread in "Cheap Stuff" forum, but this is impossible
    for me.

    May be, some people, who need money, waiting that somebody create
    new thread at "Cheap Stuff" forum and give them job. May be they need
    money, and they are hungry. But i think they are still hungry today, because
    "Moonligh Cat" don't have "3 likes".

    And now, i am like idiot posting at another topics and waiting
    this "3 likes". And this is not very easy for me, because English
    not my native language.

    At the first time, it was hard for me because english isn't my native language too. I also believe that shawn will stick to this rule, no matter how much we complained about it. So we need to move on and hunt those "likes" by contributing something in this forum. Good luck!

    The market place is an added bonus for members of the site. It is not why the site exist. I really don't think it's too much to ask to contribute to a community. If this place is making you money, why not contribute to the community? No offense but I just don't get why people are complaining so much. Just go earn some likes, it's easy.


    So spam shouldn't be fought so people can eat? This site is not here to feed people...
    That is true for thousands of users here, not a big deal.

    Exactly. Don't get why people don't get that and move on and go get some likes rather make post to complain about it. I think maybe it's being done as an attempt to gain likes from sympathy maybe IDK.

    It is wrong to say I used only market place all these years. I have contributed to this forum with non commercial posts too and helped people here. It is only that then this like thing was rarely used. It is the only reason I am suffering now.

    Of Course Not. This is so easy - talking in foreign language.
    Try to go to non-english forum, and try to get "3 likes".

    Hi everyone, I'm new to DP and this is my first post. I actually wanted to post something in the marketplace section but then I found out that I need to get 3 Likes from different established members. Well, have no idea how I'm going to accomplish that, but let's see. I plan to keep posting on the forums till I succeed :)

    Cheers!

    Lucky you didn't sign up under the old system, because you wouldn't have been able to post anything until 14 days from now no matter what. Under the new system, you can post sooner. :)

    From my perspective this "like" system is beginning to show dividends. Now we are hearing from many members who were for all intents and purposes invisable. They never posted at all or contributed.
    This new system is going to greatly add to the sense of community, and DP is going to be a much more affable place to do business and to learn from.
    We(DP) are now going to attract a whole new membership, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

    actually i stand different ....
    1. Posting to chase for like = SPAM.
    2. Like can be cheat or sold.
    3. Never post or contribute doesn't means they don't care, they sign up for reason, to buy, to sell or anything else.

    so what u said is create spam is to help the forum ?
    for me i prefer work out better way in market place, to prevent spam, con and so on.

    I'm actually liking the '3 likes' rule. Before that there were loads of junk sites/domains for sale being posted all the time, but now there are fewer sites/domains, and they're generally better quality.

    No doubt as more members hit 3 likes that will change slightly, but hopefully not to the extent it was before.

    It's a terrible idea because almost nobody even uses the "Like" option. This isn't a social network, it's a marketing/internet forum. I know when I get 3 likes, even I will probably not hit the "Like" button. I find it cute, but unfortunate.
