But just going from one section to the next, all I see is a high level of spam.

Seems like too many posters here on this forum do not read the section header of what it is about.
Just go to domain discussion,and spam about some site.

Whom ever the mods are, they should get on board and check each section for the spam.
And it goes back months!

Yeah, been surfing through the forums again.
In too many of them where it is supposed to be about discussion (like , etc) too many people are just spamming with their offers, sites, etc etc.

Would help if all members would report any and all posts they find.

Make the job a bit easier for the admins and mods.

I still delete spam when I see it. For example I just deleted a spam thread 20 seconds ago. It's summer. I'm not here all hours of the day. I still try to regulate though.

Question Hunter:

How many of you guys do the moderating jobs? Is there any one of you who stays active for almost 24 hours a day to regulate the site?

I think the problem goes with new members who just post away for the sake of their sigs. Why don't you re-classify the members and revise your rules on signatures? That might help don't you think?

And please check from time to time on the new members. Scrutinize their IPs one by one. You might miss the same spammers changing their usernames, thus having double accounts.

Just my two cents anyway.
