    Hey guys, I like DP for a place to visit sometimes. I haven't posted in months, yet I get some jackass from time to time who spams my inbox with offers. What are you doing to prevent them? Oh, well the DP staff will ban them. Errr, that doesn't seem to work completely lol. Why not require 10+ posts before you are allowed to send a PM. This will do either one of two things:
    1. Stop random spam
    2. Cause spam on boards

    Either way, I am certain at least some PM spam will stop lol. I don't know how it would end up though, just a random suggestion :)

    It's been suggested before. Just forward to a mod if you receive it, delete, and move on.

    He has a point though, the spam stays there.

    The problem we have is that some people sign up just so they can do a deal and if we force them to post all their private information in the forum that will create other problems.

    Been suggested and rejected numerous times. Search before posting suggestions if you don't want infractions please.
