While CSJ is all for having good, quality hermit crab care sites opening up and spreading the word, we do not participate in nor condone membership harvesting. We do recognize that some formats or communities just seem to be a better fit than others, much like an empty shell. By no means do we feel that our members can't or shouldn't be members of more than one site or community. We actually encourage cross membership with our Sister Site program.

HOWEVER:

Our members are wonderful people who make our site what it is and help it continue to grow and thrive. They are NOT currency to be bartered for, collected or stolen. We value their time and knowledge and are honored they choose to participate at CSJ.

If you are signing up here because you intend to solicit our members to join another website, please don't bother. Deluging our members with emails and private messages with unsolicited invites is considered spamming and your account will be suspended.

If you are an existing member and you have been targeted with this type of spam please report it to the site admin so we can suspend the offending user.

Hermit Crab Newbies!
