I have used this site for creating contest and paid out hundreds of dollars here... now I can not because you have to have likes??? What is this all about? I can see filtering signatures but stopping people from starting a contest thread so the community of developers and graphic artist are kept from making some money? Come On. I had over 90 Post and Spent Money here and want to do so again... really frustrating!
Well you have two choices. Complain more or don't, nobody really cares anymore - it is old and boring already. Here, you can commiserate with this guy: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/petition-to-revise-the-likes-system-or-remove-it.2645138/
WOW... Now that is what I call a really constructive and meaningful post. This clearly demonstrates how this new system has upgraded the quality of content on the site! Thank so much
You've now posted the same complaint in 3 different threads. You are well on your way to never getting three likes with that idiocy. I pointed out that thread to you because it addressed the very issue you are complaining about and the owner of the forum answered the very issues you brought up. It was both constructive and helpful. If you are too stupid to read it and understand it and instead just add your complaint to the bottom there is probably not much hope for your future here. This ain't rocket science.
Yeah right.... 96 posts in nearly 4 years of membership...very *meaningful and constructive* like browntwn says if you don't like it.. go sign the petition: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/petition-to-revise-the-likes-system-or-remove-it.2645138/ I'm sure it will be taken very seriously...
The link goes to where I added my 2 cents. I see you both have high message counts. In 4 years I have come here when I needed good graphics done and ran contest. I do not hang out in this forum or others. I have come here in the past to do business and have chosen to spend my money here with the graphic designers that are here. I guess in your world paying people for a service is not meaningful or constructive. It seems rather clear that the main contribution that DP is looking for is through guidance and learning in the forums. It is what it is. To have a marketplace with qualifications to meet before spending money there is the decision of the forum owner. I agree to dis-agree with that philosophy and have trouble buying his points in the article which I have read numerous times. All things change... I can like it or leave it and will have to consider what other options are out there. I would Love to hear your suggestions for good graphic contest on other sites.
