I have been a member here for over a year. I have never gotten any unsolicited or pornographic emails (and I don't want any either) and my email address has always been and is currently public. And I am certainly visible in all areas of the site. I feel like if it had to do with Pet Talk, it would be happening to all of us with public email addresses. So maybe your problem is coming from a different place like an accidental checking of a block on a website or an email.

My daughter accidently viewed a link once from the Flow-go folks. You have to read carefully when you get a link to that site, because the first one you click will sign you up for all sorts of newsletter and advertisements. My ten year old was getting credit card applications! That's a scarey thought.
