1,000 new registrations padding their post counts

    Is it just me, or are there alot of these lately? Maybe I just didn't notice before?

    What can be done? Do they just off themselves soon enough? Maybe I should just forget about it?

    I wanted to start this thread a few days ago, but I was immensely afraid that people would think I was just padding my post count :mad: But now I would like to make a suggestion. I'm thinking about the possibility that it may be the AdSense revenue sharing that's the cause of this (most of them probably don't realise that they have to start the thread to get its revshare). Quite possibly, someone recently posted a link somewhere, on a site about making money by doing nothing, for example, and said "Hey, go here and you can make money just by posting!!!!" And the flood began.

    This is just a theory to maybe get some meaningful input going. I do hate being afraid of the possibility of being banned if I give poor advice or say something that's just useless. There's got to be another solution, and I would like to suggest removing the revenue sharing.

    Do you make enough money from DP's revenue sharing to care about it?

    I think its original purpose may have been to bring DP more new members. But DP is now HUGE.

    Now, what do you think?

    As Rob said, use the report a bad post feature.
