Could it not be done that forums are inaccessible until the account has at least one dog, or verifies an email? I appreciate the spam is a lot less these days but it doesn't make it any less annoying when one bot spams the whole latest topics list.

Good idea.
Maybe click CONTACT US at the top and send a message about this.
I see we have a lot of spam.

Anyone who reads this should contact Staff to complain.
Maybe if more of us complain, it might do something.

I took a screen shot of all the spam and sent it to Jeff.
They are all deleted now….except one.

At this point maybe doing away with the banners forum in its entirety could be an idea...

I think having at least 1 dog is a great idea. I wonder how hard it would be for Jeff to implement that.

Jeff could make the latest posts to only show Alpha Dog Forum content.

Since Alpha is only accessible by premium kennels, it would weed out free account posts.
