That was my point - how can you do that??
Unless you have a userbase from some other activity - ie customers of your products etc. Which is rare, if we're talking about a site that is only a forum - no other activity.

My how things change, that place is not lax at all anymore! You get banned, infractions and red rep for the tiniest, most innocent things. Boo!

I know what you mean...I've been posting there for a while now, but got my first warning ever a week or so ago...I replied to a thread saying "PM Sent!" and got a warning for an unconstructive post when people have been doing that at DP for years with no problems, myself included.

They've either drastically changed their policies or they have a power hungry moderator.

Yeah, I registered at DP about a month ago, but haven't posted since. There are some strange things going on over there, and I would rather not get involved in them. As Ryan said, they either have an extremely controlling staff member, or have drastically modified they're TOS.

I am scared to post most of the time. I used to LOVE the place, ever since moderators got added, it's been a horrible experience for senior members having our hand smacked for the smallest things.
