There has been a lot more traffic in the Yard lately. Obviously this is great news, but unfortunately a small handful of users are abusing the system. Only a minority of users are engaged in this behavior, but it has impacted the entire community.

Please know that we are hard at work on solutions, including increased moderation. Thanks for sticking with us through these growing pains.

In the meantime, if you see inappropriate or spam content, please rate it with a thumbs-down and tag accordingly. Thank you to everyone for your patience and suggestions. Always feel free to email us at feedback@yardbarker.com.

See you in the Yard!

	The post doesn't say anything about rumors not being OK. It says a few people are abusing the site. That could mean a lot of things. Regardless, it's good to see that they're on top of it. Thanks, YB.

	GOOD. Now I don't have to read articles like this: Eagles trade Jerome McDougle to Patriots for Randy Moss and Sean Considine to the Cardinals for Larry Fitzgerald

	Finally! Hopefully they will get rid of all these ppl posting up false rumors. If you have a REAL rumor then post it up, or write something that you think could happen but notate it as such

	I'm glad your going to utilize your Police power, but your so smart to do it politely. That's why I love being in the Yard!

	how come you guys don't have that little 16x16 pixel link-to icon like furl and reddit and delicious and facebook have below all the blog posts? You have it on as your browser icon so we identify with the YB. I feel it would make it that much easier to distribute spam onto your site.

	Thanks for the support, everyone... and thanks for being in the Yard!
