    Hey guys

    Basically this is connected with Link Sales and Link Exchange section. I know that there are restrictions on who can post there. But here is a big problem.

    It has been several times for me and my friends that we want to buy links from DP members, but guess what I request people to send me A niche sites and offers and I get 100s of non related sites. I get all the alphabet and not the A. I have tried mentioning that if the site is not connected to the specified niche please do not PM. Its just consuming too much time for me to check all the sites and then it turns out that 70-80% is spam

    I suggest to have some kind of feedback system for users. Not only the itrader, but smth that will ban the user to read and post in Buy, Sell and Trade if they have specific number of bad feedbacks. Because they PM and then I cannot prove that they are just spamming. These users need to be disqualified somehow.

    Please review the idea if you have better options please share

    Forward to a Mod. List thread so we can check your initial request. If member fails to follow instructions, he/she is spamming and we will issue infractons,

    That system already exists. It's the infraction system. Only mods and admins can give those infractions, so you need to use the report post function to alert us if they're breaking the rules by posting irrelevant info. When they get 10 infractions, they're banned.
