Kingsnake has banned many people for supposedly circumventing a ban, and use this excuse a lot.
The 2 most prominent in my mind are:
1. WWARP-wards world of reptile propagation-ward was in the hospital having very serious surgery(plus 6 month post op recovery). Ward does colubrids and owes a part of his sons company which does leopard geckos. Wards son(not a minor) posted some animals for sale on wards classified to help get rid of some animals he and his mom were getting overwhelmed with but signed off as the son to let everyone know who to contact. Immediate suspension!
Why is wards son(not a minor) any different then say LLL, or Underground, when they have an employee post something?
2. Neil Golli bought animals from Africa directly (has wire transfer reciepts to prove it), and Mike Cole bought animals from the same place. They placed the order together to get quantity discounts, a break on the shipping and crate charge, and to make customs/ shipping/pick up easier. After Mike was banned for another matter, Neil was suddenly banned-supposedly for posting Mike's animals. Off course they have the same animals, they ordered at the same time from the same guy in indo!
Why was Neil banned but ten other miami wholesalers that bought animals from the shipment not banned?
The answers to both these questions: Jeff Barringer no longer needs anyones business. And he doesn't care about one individual complaining. So what if he looses one $100 a year customer, 15 newbies sign up a day.
Just like the same reason when we go to Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, any other big box stores we can never find what we want for a specialty item and never find a person to help us, and when we do it is a pimply faced high school student and they don't know what we are talking about. They know that everyone in the universe will shop there due to the prices, and we turn a blind eye to quality of service. This is exactly what is starting to happen with kingsnake. And now that it is turning into a community and music site the reptile people are going to become smaller and smaller part of it and less of a concern to Jeff "Napoleon" Barringer.
