    I have been using DP forums for few months now and love it.

    As part of any popular Internet forum, DP is also affected by lots of SPAM.

    I would like to make few suggestions few of which may already been discussed and being implemented in DP.

    1. Domains & Sites Buy/Sell forums
    • Block the same domain being listed for sale if currently another thread is running for the same domain. It should be very simple to implement.
    • Block the domain for sale if ownership is not verified.
    • Block the all domains for sale previously listed and verified by banned members earlier
    • Give seller an option to mark payment received with transaction remarks (Helps people who can not pay by paypal. ex: Indian buyer cant pay to an Indian paypal account). Bar all those members from bidding if they have a unpaid transaction.
    • If required (felt correct) add a small listing fee (May be as low as 1$)
    2. Buy sell links
    • Do not allow WTT threads
    • Do not allow a member to start more than 1 thread a day
    • Do not allow a member to have more than X threads simultaneously (20-30)
    • If required (felt correct) add a small listing fee (May be as low as 1$)
    3. Content

    • All posts should be for WTS or WTT. No need for WTB. WTB can go under content creation
    4. Partnerships

    • WTB/WTT/WTS is meaningless. Replace with partnership types. Ex:Looking for investments, Want to invest, Want to offer etc. This can be more fine tuned.
    ​Hope to come out with more such ideas if this is helpful
