What's up?
Yes, it is hitting Domin Social too.
Many users are signing up for the sake of just advertising their names or services, whilst not contributing to the community. A few spam bots were identified (it's funny, one was stuck trying to sign up).
So what have I been doing?
Well, the bots have been banned and deleted.
More importantly, there are now post requirements for the Market Place section (this is where the majority of the spam has taken place). Members must have at least 15 posts before being able to create a thread.
Finally, we will be merging with another forum soon (no more details can be released at this time, but it will definately add to our community). So the new members who will be joining us from the merge and the new posts will need some more staff members.
If you contribute often to Domain Social and have a high post count, feel free to contact me via PM or email to be a moderator.
