That would be wonderful Jessica :)  It would be such a shame to think that my weekends might be spent missing out on lots of Puggle gossip because of a "little bit" of spam

I figure they can a. require you to wait for admin approval before getting an account and b. put a location block for signing up, Bangladesh and the Phillipines seem to have the highest ratio of signing up for spam reasons so :/

Yes, a couple more good ideas.  I did notice that there seemed to be a lot of spam accounts when I joined, but didn't really bother as they weren't doing anything that I could see, but all these posts are beginning to get a bit testing

I'm with you Brandi - I have a little of spam power on here as well, and about 2 weekends ago, I figured out that if they are suspended, they cannot recreate, but if they are deleted, they can. So that helped ... (and I do apologize, I was out of town this weekend and away from my laptop, so I know I was no help). Let everyone know that there are people on it, and if I'm not mistaken, the PUG Overlords actually take the weekend off from the site (which is good for them, and good for spammers as we've seen). Also, since I am not always on PUGStyle, if ya'll email me, I will log on as soon as I  can to resolve the issue: jsmithdamico@gmail.com . We went through this last fall if I remember correctly, then it seemed to stop for a while.

Hey dolls, I have an idea. I have at least a couple of Indian salwar kameez outfits, those are the pantsuit outfits that South Asian women wear. And I have photos of me wearing them! Maybe I could start my own South Asian spamming thing. What do you think? I'd promise that I'd not spam about sporting events or about discount sportswear. I could just spam the board with news of my doings. Would that make any difference to the real spammers... I guess not. Oh well.

It may not, but I'd much prefer to read about your doings than what football games I could watch :)
