    Hello!
    DP Fellows!

    From few days i have noticed that there are variety of link spammers around the DP who are keen to join as new users and create individual threads most of times these threads don't make any sense except an outgoing link referring the members site. I can suggest to consolidate a rule for newbies to have at least 25+ postings around the forum to create their own threads!

    I can see leading forums following same strategy to fight over spam, I hope it can do better for DP Forums and Members :)


    Regards

    We already have special rules for new members regarding this issue; however, rules do little to deter spammers.

    When you see problems, use the bad post report feature to alert us. The bad post report button is the llittle triange with the exclamation point in the middle of it. This button is found below the post on the left.

    IMO this limit rule made them ever more demented when it comes to spamming.
    They just start mercilessly attacking with spam every post they can find to get that
    number of posts.

    Smyrl is right, reporting Bozos is the only way to deal with garbage they are posting.
