    I think there is way too much scam/crap services being sold in those threads. I'm sure many members will agree. So I think it would be a good idea to charge a small fee for creating a thread in that section and have the moderators also pre-approve of the sales. As a motivation for the mods to throughly check these threads they would get a cut from the revenue generated from that section of the forum.

    The reason why I think this would help reduce the scams is because people will be reluctant to pay if their service isn't genuine. Also, moderators would have to approve the threads so this would greatly reduce the scam services.

    This is an important issue because it is greatly affecting the rep of DP as a whole. It is known to be filled with scammers. If we can reduce this problem it will be better for us as a community and we would feel more confident in the services being offered. I speak from experience as I was scammed myself before as a newcomer for $xx,xxx. Of course I'm wiser now and I can smell a scam a mile away :D

    If DP started charging a fee, I would be gone.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Charging for buy, sell, trade has been suggested before. Shawn has opted to keep it free.
