Thanks for letting us know! There have been a few "spammers" lately. Anytime someone registers a username and has the "same" zip code, it's most likely a spammer I think.

The spammers just want to spam their web sites, either in their signatures or in posts.

Most probably won't cause any issues, but if you see a new member with a web site in their Home Page (which is under the Contact Info tab), they are definitely a spammer. So please let us know about those members and we can take care of it.

We've been pretty good at keeping spammers off of YorkieTalk, we did add another modification to the YorkieTalk forum software this past weekend, which will make it a bit harder for spammers to get on YT. Thanks!
