Redtailboa.net is not attempting to shield Sakara.

Long ago it was decided that redtailboa.net is NOT the BOI. Our forums do not have the format for it, and this niche is nicely filled by FaunaClassifieds.com without any help from us.
When people make negative statements about ANY member, it gets treated as a violation of the TOS. This is no exception.
This statement is neither in support nor in opposition to Sakara and this situation. Redtailboa.net is neutral in this and all other issues involving it's members. We have a long track record of consistency in how we handle these sorts of situations.
I am terribly sorry that some of you dislike our policy, but it is the policy, and it is not likely to change. The moderator who suggested that people take any negative statements to the BOI acted appropriately in response to having to remove several posts from that thread.
Thank you,
Donnie "Morti" Smith

I am sure many of us understand your stance and attempt to stand by the TOS, but there are always exceptions and at least one forum owner has shown the ability to recognize when an exception must be made.
Moving on (I try to keep posts short and sweet these days..well, short anyway) ...The bolded part of your post seems to imply that even if a post is true, it will be deleted? That means it's ok to post nice polite, smiling lies as long as the TOS is followed?
See, this is how having a hard fast TOS/RULE can perhaps ruin a perfectly good forum. TOS and Rules are meant to provide guidance, they are not usually cast in stone.
