Am tired of Pm's of new members asking me to DIGG and Stumble

    Sometimes when i have a little extra time i go to the freebie section of digitalpoint and Digg or stumble some stories for free, but when i do that i usually get 3 to 5 Pm's (99% from new members) asking me to Digg their stories, this really upset me because i hate SPAM.

    I usually get messages like this "Hi i Saw that you are interested in Digging and Stumbling websites, can you please Digg my storie.. " Damn.

    Do you receive those DIGG Requests too or am the only one :confused: Some DP members are on the DP forum just because of the Freebie section where they can exchange DIGGs and Stumbles , seriously i think we need a SPAM button in the Private messages panel.

    yes thats why we need a SPAM button next to each PM that we receive, and this spam button must have a relation with infractions, so people will think twice before sending those messages.

    Yes I do get PMs like that..

    Whenever I get a req, I look at the site, if its not MFA/Spammy I digg/stumble it.. it doesnt take more than 1 min, and I dont consider it as spam, rather a request..

    when i have time i go to the freebie section and help without any request, but when you are working and waiting for an important pm from a business partner and instead you get a request to digg or stumble a stupid website it really upset you.

    Just forward your sppm with title "Spam Pm" to a DP admin. I usually send spam pms to Smyrl(my fav mod). She adds infraction and send me a thank you pm:)

    Cheers

    Hello,

    Sorry to inform you that you are utterly wrong on "taking me seriously" part..




    Since when I started replying you with hello and without any ref to your brain or your sex toys??

    Hello,

    Sorry to inform you that you are a litle too concerned with my brain and sex toys.

    Besides, I knew you were joking, it was a test. You cannot not be a wise guy! err wait...
