| Usernames with "Teacup" in them.. Since "Teacups" are not allowed to be advertised on YorkieTalk, we have threads educating the public that they do not exist, and for the best interest of this breed we are here for - I would like to suggest that any form of the word "Teacup" be NOT ALLOWED in a YT username. I don't think T-cup, Tcup, Teacup, etc should be allowed in a username. Honestly, seeing the word teacup or Tcup in a username is offensive to me and I think it invokes anger in many YT members because we love this breed so much. Haveing usernames with Teacup in it does not foster a positive environment I don't believe and it misleads other YT members. Plus, I think the member would be setting themselves up to negative feedback from other YT members with a name that includes "teacup". Thankyou

| I have seen two usernames with a form of teacup in them tonight. One that is "teacup" and one that has "tcups" in it

Administrator | Thank you for your suggestion. There are quite a few users with the word teacup in them. Most do not appear to be active members at this time. We will not be asking them to change their username, but we will be asking the member with TCups in their username and also selling a Yorkie to change their username. In the future, members will not be allowed to sign up with a username of Teacup or variants thereof. |
