    When, I come back today and noticed that I was not able to post anything in some Business sections. After reading the new rules, I came to know about Like system. It is really great system.:)

    I think if moderator allow all users to make 5 (for example) posts without getting 3 Likes, then I think they could recognize spammers more easily. In this way, moderator could know exactly about the mind of members, "why and how they are using the DP forum".​

    Your ideas about my suggestion?????​

    Users can already make more than 5 posts without getting likes, so your suggestion is to just block users who have gotten 0 likes after 5 posts?

    Thanks for quick reply. Yes, I know that all users can make more than 5 posts without any Like. I am suggesting to allow 5 posts in Buy,Sell or Trade section. So in the time of 5 making 5 posts, you could be able to know about the purpose of using this forum.

    I am just talking about providing some free resources to use and let see what they do.

    Most definitely not... all that would do is make the problem much worse... spammers would just create duplicate "throw away" accounts after they made 5 posts in B/S/T.

    lolz..you must be kidding. Give me one good reason to allow spammer to post in BST section. The new system implemented to prevent spam not to invite spammer and say.
    "hey spammer.. come here on DP we have special offer for you that you can post any crap in BST section" :rolleyes: & btw spammers don't need any section they are spamming in other section also and got caught
