		<description>Hello,
Digitalpoint is the worst forum i have ever been on. I go there to advertise my webhosting. The funniest thing in the world is when i post a web hosting special and the move it to the freebies forum because its under 5.00 / month and they say it don't belong. Now get this crap, a web hosting special post does not belong in the WEB HOSTING SECTION! i am now banned because of to many infractions when i recieved the infractions for posting web hosting in the web hosting section! God that pisses me off!</description>

		<description>We banned this guy at DP for a week today but it since its so stupid of a situation I have to mention it.

I can't say the names of the women involved so I'll just number them.

There was a lady who we'll call #1, who was charging what I calculated as like $200 an hour for 500 word article writing because she is a teacher. As this guy went through her topic he could see a lot of girlpower type compliments in there. He saw that she was with a setup team who were bumping the topic and boosting the Digitalpoint Street Credit of this girl. He couldn't figure out why no one didn't come out and say "$200, who do you think you are Dr. Suess??.
The topic was about how she owned this site that was like a directory for writers, and of course she was admin there.

But then the guy just had to open his mouth, even though he was careful. He boldly but nicely said that he thinks its a little wrong that her price is set like that, and how manipulated the topic was with all of her friends pretending to be interested new people.

After his reply, A girl who we'll call #2 came out with this nasty post about how he didin't know anything about writers and he should mind my own business. She was extremely rude and personal with him. He should've listened because what he didn't know is she works for me!

Then 5 minutes later girl #3 made a reply in the topic using her special argument tactics making stupid claims such as "its low for the market for professionals" and all of this talk about quality and stuff. She works for me as well.

Girl #4, #5, and #6 had private messaged him with threats, warnings, and demands to leave. I know this because I see everything

He then replied stern in his opinion in the topic and Girl # 3 kept strongly after him. He also read her personal blog which was about 70 articles in total and roughly 86% of them were articles urging people to stop freelancing written work for cheap, etc. It was stupid.

After his third post he said "I'm going to be leaving now, don't worry about it".

Comes a day later me and my mods gave him not 1, not 2, not, 3, but 4 infractions. Some were doubles as well.
None were saying which post or anything(they were "Private"). He got pissed and made a topic in the suggestion area about it.
Of course, it is against the rules to talk about infractions states the rules of DigitalPoint. (reminding him of Fightclub's 1st rule - You do not talk about fightclub)

In that topic a person said he shouldn't have made a topic in here, but he held my ground by saying that he's here for a matter of justice. Before it was locked there was a last post made by Girl #3. She was a moderator at DP and she mouthed something off about him then locked the topic so he couldn't defend on what she said in public.

Then she erases everything in her friends topic indicating there was a debate in there. She even wipes all of her friends parts of nasty rage at me.

I guess she figures she owned him and got the last laugh.

He then Pmed her saying that he was not big on evil teams with connections in Digitalpoint and told her that he wasn't afraid of her authority and thought that she is an unsuitable person on a powertrip being all manipulating with her Mafia of Writer chicks.

So I banned him leaving the message of, you need DP more than DP needs you.lol

I traced back a former member who was in a conflict with the same #1 girl writer, and this dude got screwed over bad.
He said that he paid $100 for a writing job and waited a month to see that nothing was being done. He kept pming her, but then a certian moderator (the infamous #3) told him to take a walk or he'll be banned. He decided to give a negative itrader to the girl #1.

He was banned the next day and the girls negative itrader was wiped clean.


See this is why you don't mess with me and my forum. We are corrupt. This girl is under the protection of DP staff in whcih is very profitable.</description>

		<description>The biggest issue with DP is its ultra-arrogant and super-weirdo staff members. Have a look at &lt;a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=425378" rel="nofollow"&gt;this thread&lt;/a&gt; and you'll know why Crazy Rob is hated like crazy by most DP members, except perhaps some "ass lickers."  Yes, its also a spam haven, but if you're smart enough you'll know how to avoid being spammed. But I am sure every newbie on that forum goes through a psychological shock when one of those staff members give them an infraction for the silliest of reason, and then posts rude replies and closes their threads when those members make a hue and cry over it.

Also, I cant deny I have learn't a lot from that forum. I might not yet be a very good webmaster (I'm definitely a bad internet marketer), but I do credit DP for helping me make a side living on the internet.</description>

		<description>DP is great but the mods suck like Rob. They act like 15 years old child. He banned me because of duplicate account but I dont have any, so stupid. When I asked he said we dont want you here. I did nothing at all.</description>

		<description>I would like to re-iterate some of ponts discussed in the post as well as in these comments. IMO the DP forum mods are not well qualified or they think themselves as god in Internet. Now a days there torture has even crossed the limit and any one who is trying to point out getting a ban or infraction. And when you contact them you will never receive a reply.

I am sure in no time Dp is going to sink in the deep shit. And there are many other webmaster forum which are far far better then Dp and they are going to excel. Guys let us come together and form a new community to let teh DP mods and admin show that how exactly a community should be???</description>

		<description>Digitalpoint is a brilliant example of what money does to people - finding a nice person on that forum is damn near impossible. Even when you offer people help, if it's not exactly what they're looking for they will either patronise you or report you.

As long was I wasn't banned, I told myself that I wouldn't start complaining about DP but last night that very thing just happened to me. I was banned for having a 'Duplicate Account' and yet I've only ever had one account on DP: even if they had sent me the username of my duplicate account or offered me some kind of proof I would held my hand up and accepted the ban.

Admins are too busy threatening people with bans, moderators are too busy handing out infractions and the members are too busy worrying about the $2 they lost on the 'How To Make A $1,000,000,000' ebook which turned out to be a load of nonsense.

DigitalPoint was once a useful tool but now it's time to move on.</description>

		<description>What else do you expect from DP? It's one of the things that they "just do". I wouldn't worry about it.

I've seen the link before due to getting referral traffic from them, although I don't know why they're trying to look just like DP (except with the "less" in the title), why not stand out a bit more?

And there are no DP mods or Admins here, it's just me here running everything on this website. Although they might've read the list and / or this post, I'm not sure.</description>

		<description>Recently I went along to the DP forum to check my messages, logged in and confronted with 

Banned:
Stop Spinning Dupe Accounts

Lifted: NEVER

What I would like to get off my chest is, I have never had a dupe account and I know they can check the IP from which the posts have been posted. So I have lost my right to post on the forum now and also the right to complain as they seems to be nobody answering any feedback, admin, web,aster posts to the main website.

I believe 100% it was the crazy rob guy who banned me but what really gets my goat is that I cannot even ask them to prove it, like it or lump it your banned, go away.

If they are any DP mods on here or anywhere please check my account Aubenrey and prove to me it was a DUPE, I know you cannot because it was not. Or will you use the old we cannot over rule another mods actions.

Time to move on me thinks and look at the more serious forums out there. 

Just for fun have you seen http://digitalpointless.com another anti DP website.

Thanks
