Rules Members going around the No Blog commenting rule to hire spammers.

    Blog commenting services were banned here some time back but users have now found a way around. They now hire users to make new posts (with some link in their signature) to popular forums that they don't control. It would be okay if they hired posters for own forum but paying users to post on another is like Spam. IMO its just like commenting on 3rd party blogs with a link.

    So is this allowed or are the rules only limited to blog commenting?

    Well if its allowed on DP then probably I could make use of such services myself or if its not, then we could start reporting the threads. I don't want to get (more) infractions either way :(

    Since there hasn't been any response yet, would it be safe to assume that its okay?
