    Well, well... that was what I wanted to say, but well... :D

    Really, I think that there must be some kind of very strict rule to enter that section these days, I'm not sure which, but I really believe something must be done.

    And I don't care more about my DP account than I care about GD or PP, I didn't make it clear, the problem is that with all these hacked DP accounts, people keep scamming others and neither PP or GD will even bother to help you.

    I've been talking to the mods recently, and if you start digging the BST section you'll notice that 3 or 4 guys have been banned yesterday because of this...

    I'll just keep reporting and try to help around.

    Yeah, i think most of the scammer's activities are in B/S/T section, but that is the most important place for those who rely on it, I m a Directory Submitter and earns whatever i can with that business only, if it will be close then i think we will get a great loss here. I Request you guys not go against B/S/T section or to totally close it, Just get some other ideas for the solution and I think most of the people know what is phishing e-mails/PM's and all that.. but for those who are new might get some harm... I think making an announcement will be a good idea. Or adding some descriptions and details in the Welcome PM to every new member :)

    Regards,
    Muneeb

    How about putting the blame on Al Gore and petition for the Internet to be shut down :) That will definitely end all online scams. You may receive one or two 419 types of letters in the post once in a while but I think that's it.

    Completely irrelevant. Google started as a search engine, but it dosen't mean features like Adwords, Maps, etc, aren't valuable assets..

    Closing the BST is a bad idea IMO. The positive points of it far outweigh the negatives. There will always be risks when using it, but if people don’t like that, then they shouldn't use it, simple.

    What a nonsense " Close B/S/T section " if it gonna happen many people will not use DP anymore especially considering the fact that there are many good alternatives for selling websites and domains , also I think that serious players are avoiding to use DP as their favorite forum and DP stuff should pay attention on that argument , rather then to lose the existing part of members which are still using BST section . DP is a very good place but it's full with scammers I agree , I can say that I'm new member hear compared to others , but I've read too many " I got scammed " threads in here. DP should have very strict rules for those members who are going to to post in marketplace forum , I really think that 25 post is not enough , 250 sounds better for me , also BST section should be private in order not to attract new scammers.

    Actually that would cure quite a few of the ills - scammers would have to go elsewhere, moderator workload would decrease by a mile and the load on the servers would drop considerably. If you throw in the 'Politics & Religion' section I would be sorely tempted. ;)

    But the BST section has grown so much that if you are in internet marketing you just cannot ignore it and top internet marketers invariably mention digital point forums as a resource site where you can buy and sell in their best selling ebooks.

    Maybe spinoff BST into a separe subdomain and retain the original forum as a webmaster thingy.

    Lots of marketing newbies have broken their internet virignity in the BST section.:D
