    Oh ok, yah may be, he posted this on july 21st. So if the premium membership was purchased after that, then it makes sense :)

    Admin/Mods,

    I have seen this guy https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/pie-rate-kiing.751578/ giving out likes for many suspicious users but could not report it as there were no proofs till today. But, I just got a proof now.

    This guy has the home page link as http://www.PieRatedGFX.com in DP profile and he has the same username (PieRated_GFX) in BHW forum and he has sold many likes.

    Sample proof : http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-fiverr-3-likes-digitalpoint.html#post5624646

    Please take appropriate action. Thank you!


    Edit:
    ====

    Another user https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/stemar.428765/likes has likes from Pie-Rate Kiing and muzumbu on May 3rd.

    On the same day, muzumbu,stemar and Pie-Rate kiing were involved in likes trading. Proof: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-3-digital-point-forum-likes.html#post5519253

    Hi guys! How do you do this? Really, you are real professionals. Maybe you should gather and organize detective agency?
    To be serious, you do a great job!

    Admin/Mods,

    Found another set of members doing like trading - > https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/nicolaze.524575/likes all the 3 likes of the member are brought from Sean101(https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/sean101.577255/), postcd(https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/postcd.65881/) and suganux(https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/suganux.187304/).

    Proof Link : https://www.seoclerks.com/want/Foru...oint-likes-from-3-different-established-users

    All 3 sellers have made their bids. I think the sellers should also be penalized and their "Established" status has to be removed apart from penalizing the buyer.

    This is all very well us reporting these losers and I see likes get removed and possibly warnings issued, but why are they not just immediately and permanently banned from the forum for participating in this activity?..are these really the type of members you want here??..I don't get it, surely like trading of any kind should result in an instant ban.

    I found another user https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/seoagrippa.757054/likes who has the "3" likes from the likes sellers (Sean101, postcd and suganux). I am not able to find a proof though.

    If admin/mods find these likes "should" have been bought, please take action.

    I know it will make no difference but a massive +1 for this, if they aren't going to be banned remove their established status, it's obvious they can't be trusted with it.

    Yes. I too do not understand. If buying likes invites removing the likes and sometimes getting the user banned, then selling likes is also equally punishable.

    There is a lot of stuff that a user can do that is clearly against the rules... but if we permanently banned users for those things, most people in this thread would have been permanently banned. Duplicate accounts, plagiarism (copy/paste an article as a new thread), attacking/harassing other users, self-promotion/spamming, etc.

    Really don't see how asking someone for a like is somehow worse than that stuff and the user should be banned for the rest of their life.

    Yeah, I see what your saying and banning for life is probably a bit harsh but if their established status is removed (the ones caught offering or giving likes) it might make them think twice about doing it again if they manage to get re-established.:)

    Users who blatantly do it tend to end up banned. Someone who may just have one time asked a friend to like something, most likely would just get a warning. Since the warnings stack, if a user did it once, they probably aren't going to be banned. If they do it more than once, they would.

    Asking a friend or someone known to get likes may be ignored for once, but what about those (aforementioned) who're openly buying and selling likes?

    They've established a DP likes shop on other platforms :rolleyes:
