    Since I see so many people asking for loans and what not on the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum, wouldn't it be best to have a subforum for such matters?

    Just makes things more tidy for everyone! :D

    Please share your thoughts on the matter...

    I think it is ok but must only allow long time members with good standing in DP to participate.

    Are you crazy!?! There shouldn't be loans here anyways. If you need a loan talk to a friend.

    No. Absolutely not. As it is only the members who have been here a while know that it's semi-acceptable to try and blag a loan in BST. Make a forum and you'd be opening that information up to everyone - undesirables included.

    I think having a loans section is a bad idea. I don't think that the amount of loan threads warrant it's own section just yet.

    But there would be problems with having a section like this (who is allowed to lend? What about disputes? etc.).

    Loan threads should be done in PM.

    Opening a forum is like opening a park for beggars in the middle of our community.

    No. This will increase in the amount of scammers.

    How about having a set amount of iTrader and posts allowed before you're able to make topics for requests of loans?

    Not that many people ask for loans to make a sub forum for it. You would have to have people asking for loans 10 a day to keep the forum filled and not empty.

    This is a Bad Idea for the DP community.
    All of a sudden we would have numerous scammers from Pakistan,Russia etc ripping off members.
    We have a good community at the moment,we don't need a sudden influx of the net's biggest shitbags.

    As much scamming that goes on, this would just add to it I would think.

    It would just give people ideas instead of helping unfortunately. I would hope no one on here would loan anyone any money unless they have at least met the person and they can sign a promissory note
