I understand there is a “spam warning” on the top alerting the members on the standard rules of the forum because of DP, but the blog section should have some kind of rules of its own to prevent members from posting crap that doesn’t have any value for the blog readers. I was just browsing through the blog today and ran into couple of blog entries here and here that are nothing but copy/paste from the BST section. If we continue to allow this, then very soon we will have to dig through all the copy cat sales threads or junk entries in search of an useful post.

There are three “real” forums or communities I can highly recommend: BloggerLuv (brand new but promising – we’re working through some technical issues), our private blog collaboration SBC forum and Third Tribe.

The sad thing about running a popular site is that the more popular your site gets, the more it draws in the scammers and spammers. We currently have many automated systems that protect users and a few more that are planned but have not yet been coded.

I believe every established ‘community’ will get critics like you saying they are not as good as they were ‘initially’. That’s also said for companies as they grow bigger, it has got to do a lot with impersonalized operations as scale of forum/community gets bigger.

Digitalpoint is Spammers Haven. Same like william, I have been away from this forum for more than 6 months. I am still looking for another better forum.

You are being really harsh to them, Sitepoint is a HUGE forum and it can’t be easy to manage and moderate the forum. Most mods would ‘react’ on bad posts being reported rather than actively scouting for spammers.

Like some other guys here, I am very pleased with DigitalPoint. Although I also got logins on Sitepoint and V7n, I don’t think I’ve really enjoyed those forums and I haven’t posted much there, apart from some blatant advertising

Just be careful and check the iTrader rating (and their language skills) before entering into any deals with the DP members. The majority of them is a bunch of great guys, though.

I think sitepoint is more than just a forum, I love their blog and have bookmarked atleast 20 posts that I keep going back to again and again. I am happy that they have removed dofollow from their signatures, I see less spam in last 1 year.

Site point is really giving a tough competition to those people who comment just to build traffic and they don’t even bother to read full blogs. I hope it works effectively and don’t delete genuine comments.
