Whatever reasons you use DigitalPoint forum,spamming is not good.Newbies who learned from those SEO expert was told building dofollow links is go for serp.and #1 spot at search engine means making money.So,these people spammed!

The seo ranking results is unknown but the effect on Dp is obvious! DP get Spammed,heavy shameless spam attacking the forums everyday.It also made Dp act like a mad dog chasing these spammer and these what they have done:

Signature guideline enforcement
Signatures and live links within posts are not available to users until they have been a member at least 7 days,(waste time again!) have positive (green) reputation and have at least 10 posts.

• Up to 250 characters
• No more than 3 lines
• No more than 4 links
• Images are not allowed
• Adult links are not allowed

"If your reputation falls below a certain level, the system automatically revokes your ability to have a signature and live links.If your reputation returns to being above the threshold level, the system automatically restores your ability to use live links and signatures."

So, this means it's the "reputation" you have to take care of.It's fair enough since the real function of discussion board is to discuss,exchange info,etc.Not for you to build link for seo !

However,If you are building link from DP(i don't blame you),you might have spend you time(a lot of time )in order to make your links and signatures goes live.And you might come across this,this is an open secret on how DP moderators work.

Nearly every "active" member on DP has surely received an infraction or two.Received enough infraction will get you different level of penalize .it’s simply a matter of time,you account can be temporarily suspended.At the mean time all your links and signature will be remove,yes those "7 days, have positive (green) reputation and have at least 10 posts"will be totally waste!

And the most funny thing is if you get temporarily suspended,you are not allow to check out the forum even you browse as a guest.(didn't log in)

Using DP to build link? Not worth the time.

For me It's rated as one of the Top wasted time Internet programs
