The Digital Point Movement
Thursday, August 21, 2008 3:06
Digital Point (DP), one of the most popular online webmaster’s forum with thousands of active members is now gaining negative popularity because of the bad and harsh rules which are being introduced at a rapid pace in a so called effort “to keep DP a clean place”.
Many rules have been introduced in recent times and all of the rules have hopefully been made in an effort to improve DP, but as seen from the expression of various members, majority of the members are turning against these rules.
A large number of new rules have limited the liberty of members of the forum. One of the many harsh rules is that no member can write posts like “I am interested”, “PM me details”, “PM sent”.
There are some times when a member starts a thread and requests members not to PM (Private Message) him and to post their reply in thread if they are interested to deal with him/her for the thing he have listed on the forum. In these cases majority of the members post “I am interested”, “PM me details”, as this is the easiest and the quickest way to express their interest in the deal. But now posts like these are also counted as violation of the forum rules.
For breaking such rules, members can get infractions and can also face ban. Large numbers of members have been banned for violation of only this rule and majority of these members have raised their voices against such rules.
A thread “The DP movement” has also been started at DP forum in an effort to get some attention from administrators of the forum so that they can see that what negative affects their rules are making on their members.
We hope that administrators do their best to safeguard their members interest as members are the one who made this forum from just another webmaster forum to one of the most popular webmaster forum.
Regular updated will be made regarding this matter.

I think this was a right step in the right direction. Admins and moderators at Digital Point Forum are not that much helpful and more over they are implementing hard rules which i think are of no use. I support this movement, even though DP have officially closed this thread.
Long live this movement till DP realizes that they are doing the wrong thing.

I also support this movement. I also think that they are implying useless rules which are of no benefit and are not going to give any profit to anyone. I think these kind of rules should be taken out and independence to members should be given at all cost.
