    Aaron create a group on yahoo or some other messenger service that alerts the group to the abuses, then IM the members of the group with the felonious thread and the red reps should bring the thread down.

    Is this on the order of what is needed?

    Can we create groups on DP?

    Either way, a list would be great.. I'm all for it, just send me a PM or.. I'll check this thread again.

    The reason that he would get iTrader or rep is:

    He made 10 posts in a forum I requested him to and I paid him $.03 (I would have paid him $1 even he still denied).

    Dont think a group is really needed at all.

    Its just everyones responsibility to help keep DP scammer free or atleast prevent some of it by reporting posts or dealing out red rep. If everyone does this then we are already in a group. The Digitalpoint group! :)

    I notice a lot of scammers don't get banned and we really need to take action. I saw one guy that scammed or tried to scam a lot of money out of people before (frankiewilde888) and he isn't banned yet...

    I smell the aroma of a necessary "ban" wafting through the air of DP.

    You guys are weird really. It is not against DP rules to BUY posts on forums is it?

    SundayBrew really has it out for me for NO reason at all. Like WTF!?

    I have never broken a rule on this forum, so unless you guys are just a group of friends and Shawn always sides with his friends, I'm not getting banned, sorry, I am here for good. ;)

    just think, of it, give away some freebies in exchange for itrader, build up great looking itrader, of 200, with no neg itrader as it was all for freebies, then bam hit 20 people for $50 selling a scam and run. with the money
    easy way to make $1,000 and people will accept that they paid and you have some technical issues that cant be fixed for 24 hours, while you scam as many as you can in that time, because you have 200 perfect itrader

    i think itrader should be removed from the freebies

    Awesome example Samantha of why Itrader should pertain to legit merchandising and consumer activity. If someone has the inside connection to a mod or even Shawn maybe that example can be used as evidence.

    I was trying to pay the guy, I never accepted his free post for iTrader deal.

    vccseller (something like that) is selling stumbles for a penny each, now that is a cry for iTraders...come on...

    Samantha: You may notice that you can not view the persons iTrader in the freebies section. This is a note that iTrader is not given in this area while in other B/S/T areas it shows peoples iTrader which permits trading it.

    Putting a price on the iTrader is a great idea, however what would happen with exchanging links on say PR sites. It depends how people think of it, whether iTrader is meant for buying/selling or buying/selling/trading (as it is buy/sell/trade section).

    isnt link exchange also freebies? no money changes hands and no paypal transaction, so to me it's just another loophole to be abused to rack up some fake free itrader for when a scammer wants to make a killing with a real scam

    i would have thought that the idea of itrader was to give people an idea of someones honesty and intent, now if you restrict itrader to only trade where something was offered for a payment, then you are giving people the impression that they have made transactions with paypal and kept their word, this is the idea of itrader is it not?

    not to rack up with fake or false deals where no money has change hands, thats what people are looking at itrader for, an idea that the money they are about to part with, is going to someone that can be trusted.
    someone that has made money transactions to earn the itrader.
