New spam prevention

[zach]

As you may know, Domain Social was targeted for spam attacks this week. At one point we had over 100 THOUSAND new spam threads being created a day, distributed over hundreds of users, from hundreds of different IP addresses!!

This all started all of a sudden, and we took immediate action against it. We have:

• deleted hundreds of thousands of threads
  
• banned users
  
• configured advanced spam prevention

So basically, there should be no new spam on the forum. If, however, some do get through the cracks, please report it and I'll look into it (there's a button on the side of each post for this).

Thanks and have a great time here on Domain Social

This type action gives good credibility to this forum site.

That's okay, there will be another one along in a while and that will save opening another thread.
