1. Delete the fake bot accounts
2. Re-word your homepage so that it is clear to users that you need to pay money to do anything useful
3. Come out and say 'in an effort to ramp up user engagement we went too far and made a mistake. apologies'
I signed up for your site years ago. I have slowly watched it progress from something useful to a totally degenerate spam and bait site.
(Edit: I will add that if it is your affiliates who are doing the spamming, then ban them and put in better controls. I just logged into my account and got 3 messages in less than a second)
