.. testing @ DNF .. testing new fields for "Signup Form" and how this helps us identifuing real domain investors from spammers

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

A quick update.. we are working on a better and improved signup process that will help admins and moderators to identify better spammer sigups (that are getting more and more sophisticated.. though still, quite dumb mostly)

on of the fields that we are testing, that is marked as "optional" in the signup form is: "Preferred Domain Registrar":

--

and already for a couple days this single field helps us understanding which user is a real domain investor (currently @Unstoppable Domains gets mentioned the most, apart from a few others) and which one is clear spammer > an account that has only 1 priority: getting his link published asap .. like this user, whom I gladly marked as a "spammer" (IP gets also saved in our db, and will show up if some other user will try to sign up using the same IP):

--

a couple new fields will be added soon. @DNF Admin needs to complete the work of getting Avatar field included in the signup form (a manual task)..

and, few new improvements are on the way .. Prashanna will write a detailed report when this is done (hopefully this weekend).

Happy Thursday!
