I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Computer Generated New Members Several of us on the Welcoming committee have noticed a rapid increase of new members since Christmas. Use to be 30-40, now it seems like it's over 100 a day. Have that many new members really received Christmas pups? We were wondering if there could be computer generated new names going on. For example, http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220322 vugSimon, name is the same as his zip code, and his location is YYEEE Another http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220321 e-mini trading, whose zip code is e-mini trading. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220319 username enuflallyvevy, whose zip code is also enuflallyvevy http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220325 username indisusibiaro whose zip code is also indisusibiaro http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220327 username Estaskest whose zip code is also Estaskest http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220328 username obepaytru whose zip is also obepaytru I could go on and on, but I guess you get the idea. I just thought admin should be aware of this, and maybe there is something you can do like having new members read a code or something before they join. Many sites make you read what looks like handwriting so that only a person could read it and not a computer.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | LOL, I wonder if you'd get in trouble if you posted that on these phony members profile pages? Maybe the welcoming committee can use someone like you!

| I just read something strange that made no sense at all in the RIP section in a post made by Yorkie Zoo.

This post? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/3386915-post2.html I reported it as spam, and you can do it by pressing that little red triangle icon under their user name. You can kind of tell it's spam: Quote:
His profile page information is funny, I'm quite sure he doesn't speak English.

| Either that is the most poorly bred yorkie in the history of yorkie breeding or it's a picture of an alien http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19220402

| Nancy, thanks for starting the thread about all the new profile pages with weird things on the bios. I think this might be computer generated, but not sure. For me, I do not post a welcome if the zip code says "man" or repeats the user name, etc. It is obviously someone that has not taken the time to join and be interested. (That is what makes me think again that is computer generated.) I bet your comment is not translating the way you really meant. My explanation.... There is a group of us on YT that are welcoming Newbies and I think it is a warm thing to do. I call it the Nurture Committee (in a joking way) and call Nancy the chairperson. (Of course she hates that I call her that. )
