    i believe dp should charge a small fee in the bst section. I dont know about you but im tired of people coming on here and trying to scam legit users.
    My total time here on dp i have been scammed 3 times from a total of 20 transactions. Thats 15%.

    Honest people looking to buy and sell should have no problem putting up a little coin for their sale + you would be adding to the forum that we all benefit from.

    I agree with monkeyknackers - I reckon I have been scammed to the tune of around $9000 from DP posters during the time I have been here. Granted I do a lot of transactions but 9k is still unnaceptable

    I also have to say that I have made some excellent deals here too

    I think charging people to start a thread in the BST section of DP would remove much of the spam, and the low quality websites out there who offer no reason for me to buy them because of the lack of traffic.

    I possible solution is to setup a section for established sites which already have traffic, and revenue, and only allow people to post who have over +X iTrader, or a yearly charge, are able to start a sale. So that those of us can actually find quality website and weed out the ones who have been setup and have no revenue or traffic.

    Each forums has its own characteristics and unique point which attract their users back to them regularly. SP may have what DP does not have, but it does not mean that DP needs to have it.

    this has been discussed at least 10 times in the feedback area - and the answer is always "no". as the poll here suggests its a bad idea.

    :(

    a one time fee... maybe, but not a recurring fee.

    The good thing about Dp is: Everything is free... nothing pissed me off more then a paid forum. Its easy to sell stuff here and its easy to buy aswell.

    I think it will be a bad idea for dp to charge a yearly fee because they will
    lose many members if they did this.
