B/S/T Bans Are Getting Ridiculous

The ban for bumping in Buy, Sell and Trade is getting ridiculous.

Look, I run a pretty clean business here. I sell a lot of advertising space and I move a lot of money through this forum for designs, content services and other offers. I bring offline projects to Digital Point where I can find the talent I need and at a price I can afford.

What is bugging me however is the 7 day ban for bumping a thread. Honestly, you're doing nothing but ruining the good businesses- those run by people who keep constant contact with partners while letting those that do not have such good business relations sneak through.

Case in point:

My 46 iTrader, and I've probably done iTrader for less than 5% of my deals. I'm banned.

This guy: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/itrader.php?u=4510 Has scammed time and time again, still on the forum. Still trying to screw people over, and still allowed his membership.

Look, I understand. Its your website, and I'm using your free services. But I also understand that 7 days is far too much, and being banned does not at all help me bring business to my clients. You're not only hurting me, you're hurting the people who buy things from me.

There has to be a better solution.

 

It's not that hard. "PM me or post here for more information." = Not allowed http://forums.digitalpoint.com/announcement.php?f=24

Why should you be exempt from the rules?
