    If you post spam in the Domain Discussion section you will not receive a warning. You will be permanently banned!

    Its gotten way out of hand.

    On another forum we host we added a simple question to the registration process. it stopped 99.9% of the spam.

    Welcome to Eforum Devashish,

    The rules are at http://www.eforum.com/pages/terms/

    To answer your question, No the domain section is a discussion forum. If you have some thing to sell you should post it in OpenMarketplace.

    Most of the spam in the domain section has come from spam bots selling knock off designer clothes and prescription drugs. both of which are violating laws and copyrights and are banned without warning. Most others are just cases of people posting in the wrong place. Sometimes they get a warning and sometimes I just move them to the proper forum.

    Welcome to the community,

    :)

    Thanks for your guidance.

    I was about to post the domain for SALE things here.. but decided to ask before I do the same.

    Your mentioned details will help other members in near future, I guess.
