    Well , DP Is By Far The Best Business Website, Or Whatever You Wanna Call It, But The Rules Of Posting Aren't That Great And It Isn't Really Making The Forum Have Less Spam.. you know?

    Loosing the plot... let's say:

    I partially agree with this... it would be great to get more power to servers. The current server quality is "ok", but would be great to get it bit better. No much to complain though

    I believe one can give feedback in a constructive manner and explain in detail what this means and when this happens and what should be done.

    Well, in that case this is the best place to learn avoiding them! That knowledge is priceless. You gotta keep yourself in shape ;)

    Yes, I partially agree with this. For this, it would be great to hear feedback regarding a paid membership portion. That could reduce the noise a bit.

    Eh... if users feel bad about trade - they can give bad iTrader. It's something that happens in life - anywhere there's people involved, you will see irrational behavior ;)

    I wonder why... I mean - if people give red reps it also costs points for them - so... maybe one needs to stop fighting so much ;)


    Bottom line: there's some point in your linkbait post *cough cough* - but would be good to hear some ideas & suggestions for solutions about HOW these probelms could be overcome.

    Losing the plot? No
    Needs a little bit of attention? Yes, probably.

    Possibly. I think DP is the number one online forum. Sure there are scams, but not major compared to other webmaster forums.

    But when people who are on here have 8000 posts and you see them banned for some small infraction, you have to ask, is this for real? Sure everyone has to follow the same guidelines. But i don't think its right when people have given out so much information and advice and helped so many people, to have to sit out 3 months because of a small infraction.

    Whats the solution? Because there are many different things that could happen?

    Conclusion: Better mediation with moderators. E.G Instead of an infraction for small things, just a small PM "Hey user123, you know you posted it in the wrong sub-forum, nothing major just make sure you noticed.

    So DP is the number one forum. Online. Webmaster forum. Thats pretty obvious. Im sure they could improve though. And when they do it would be a totally more awesome forum.

    There are a less amount of scammers these days but there seems to be a recent influx of total idiots that know jack all about anything.

    Kind of agree with this. But this problem will always exist.

    New people coming into the online industry.

    I think were just going to have to wait the current crop out. Until they learn a bit.

    Yeh thats not the concern. DP is obviously untouchable compared to other webmaster related forums.

    I think the topic is concerned with possible internal flaws.
