    That's fine, those people can get premium membership. It's why that is an option too if you really can't post anything useful.

    Today when i logged in with an intention to post a thread but when i looked into it that i can't post a thread i was surprised and then i looked for the reason and got "LIKES story" that's i really hate on the spot.... :p well its a normal behavior of every old member here in DP after watching the new rules. Well as "Shawn " said that "Try a section you are knowledgable in." so i posted a thread in the section on which i feel I can contribute better so lets see the result.

    On the other hand....(My point of view on LIKES)

    I can see some people have "0" likes just like me and some have few but there are people who have a very good amount of likes, I saw one having 1050 likes that's awesome. Now 1st thing I got is getting likes is harder BUT its not actually if you are contributing real informative stuff to the people of DP. Because those who have thousand likes must got them from those who already have few likes and these must not be fake ones. Yes its really irritating for members who are using DP for years but in nutshell its our benefit, this effort will reduce the spamming upto 90% may be 100% because a spammer dont have much time to spend a lot on only 1 forum. Also spammers usually dont have any thing wealthy to contribute :)

    Although its creating some problem for me right now BUT i'm sure in future i will have much cleaner inbox after posting a thread ;) Appreciate this effort by digital point forums team.

    I have now received 3 new likes in the last 48 hours.......easy as eating pie!:)
    P.S. make that 4 new likes, just received another one a minute ago. Point is that everyone should stop wasting time complaining about them, and be proactive and contribute.
    P.P.S. I have now received 6 new likes in about 48 hours.(point proven)

    Yes agree too , I am here from 2010 , the new rules must apply based on the consideration of time people have spent here too , I have 21 itraders, not too many but all are as buyer and geninuinely a small pocket person who used BST for genuinely used BST and have real buyer rating collected as itraders and now I have to get likes starting from scratch

    I think this new "Gain three likes before you can post into Marketplace section" feature is great. Of course, it may be hard for someone to get likes, but imo if this keeps at least one scammer away from marketplace, its worth of it ;)

    And as digitalpoint said, you can always buy a premium membership to gain full privileges.

    Funny you should say that.

    The post i made to try and add value to the forum, and give users a bit on info and advice, got 0 likes.

    The posts i've made complaining about the new established member/likes feature, have got me 3 likes in the last 48 hours...

    The point for everyone to see is that between us we received 7 new likes in 48 hours. So this ought to put an end to the "how do I get likes" debate. It's flippin' easy right?

    Also, imo this new "like feature" adds value to the whole forum. Now you have a possiblity to recieve accurate help instead of "google it noob!"

    This is only my opinion ;)

    Uh no... rep from the old site was imported as Likes... which means you already have 44 (I assume most of those you had from the old site).

    this new features will keep scammers away from marketplace. it maybe inconvenient others but on the other hand, scammers need to dedicate their time contributing useful posts just to get likes, this will hinder them since getting likes might take too long to get thus wasting their time here. so overall this rule will greatly benefit dp members.

    Right!! Now in the marketplace only those can take a part who are actually contributing to this portal and 1 more thing i want to include that those who were using multiple accounts to manipulate will be stick to just 1 because its not easy to get likes without contributing any valuable thing. I hope we will have genuine and good buyers n sellers :)

    I agree with you. The rules should be follow for new user. Who using DP from maximum 1 year and have 100% feedback they should give some preference for this. Hope DP moderator should be think about this.

    See FAQ. Only established members can leave likes.

    Lame how people trying to get likes in this topic and probably elsewhere also.

    I think there should be more members with likes so they can give to the rest of normal users... not just a couple of them.

    There are 16,081 users with 3 or more likes.

    mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM xf_user WHERE like_count >= 3;
    +----------+
    | COUNT(*) |
    +----------+
    |    16081 |
    +----------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
