    Listen, we got problems here on DP.

    The problem is that out of 40 services I've bought probably gotten ripped off or manipulated 37 times. It's stupid. Sometimes I think I'm one of the only fair people around. When I offer something, if it doesn't turn out I do extra for the individual to fair it up. Now everytime I purchase a service it seems I have to go after them to get them to do it. We don't want this to happen at digital point. We all want it to be a good resource.

    But it seems that everyone who is selling act like stuff is a great service, but it turns out to be just a bunch of lies.

    I've purchased many serviced that I had to fight with them to get them to do the service once I payed. And on top of it, they are still selling the service to others who, I assume are getting ripped off.

    It took a longtime for me the gain enough profit regularly spend money here and now it's just wasting it. I've tried buying banner spots, directory submission, blog submission, buying articles, E-books, buying sites, buying traffic, etc.

    We need a better way to split the losers who are ripping off to the honest people. The itrader just isn't working good. There's too many friends of people who are giving each other itraders.

    I don't have a solution for everything but I have a solution for the first step into DP becoming a usful place for fair deals.
    This is help with people who are selling the following:
    -Directory submission
    -Blog submission
    -Logo creation
    -Banner creation
    -search engine submission
    -unique content articles
    (and anything that requires a lot of time to finish the sale)

    All of these area's should be forced to use the green, yellow, red light system.

    It's really simple, in the forums that have these types of sales you need to put up a pinned topic or add it to the rules in the pinned topic.

    The rules would be simple. Anytime you are going to create a topic to offer a service on which is mentioned(that list up there) you must have somewhere in your topic page the Green button, the yellow button, or the red button. This indicates how far behind you are or how long it will take to finish the job.
    In the pinned topic you just make 3 colored buttons available and if when someone doesn't use it when they make the topic, then you delete the topic and infraction them up.


    This will make services more competitive spliting up the people who take forever to the fast reliable sellers. It also will stop people who start a deal, but then just take peoples' money and don't give a crap about finishing their part.

    You are right.

    Some of the people offering services here are terrible and don't deliver 100% Service like they claim.

    A "Traffic Light" system would be handy.:)

    If people want to do that it's fine but we're not going to make it a rule or requirement.

    Do business with people you trust. If you don't/can't trust someone don't do business with them.

    Just like the physical world of commerce, it's buyer beware.
