Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

One good thing did come from this thread. I haven't had to post here in years. I had a old account that I could get into. So I created a new one. Well my old cornsnake friend Rich Z caught that I had this old account. So reconnected in a couple of pm's. Mikie B thank you for the kind words. I would gladly help you out anytime I could. I have running a couple shows here in the Midwest for years. I try to make everyone's experience a good one. If you leave a show with a good experience, and some money if you are a vendor. The drive home seems to be shorter as well

I personally agree with your thoughts Darlene.
I have seen SW Reptiles at the Omaha Reptile show before. I thought they had a very professional set up, were always courteous and willing to address questions.

The deliberate use of caps every time you use the word "assume" is getting old and obnoxious. Perhaps even offensive. If you want your posts taken seriously, you mightwant to stop that. Just an opinion.

So you made a BOI thread because you were being a dbag on someone's Facebook page and they unfriended you? Wow.
I guess if someone tries to repay a debt to me I'll make sure I'm not FB friends with you first.
Pretty much the worst case of butthurt I've ever seen on fauna. Congrats?

You're describing an entirely different situation though. Bringing to light an obvious scammer is useful whether you've been scammed by them or not. Jim isn't a scammer and hasn't done anything remotely close to scamming, he just accepted boas as payment on an old debt that he had with someone. I don't know how you could possibly argue that this thread serves any purpose other than making David feel better about getting blocked.

Nick, you need to read the post, and realize that it was a response to claim of certain posts being against the rules. Don't make up arguments that I have not made.

My point is, recognizing that something is an obvious scam is reason enough to make a BOI post, whether you actually were scammed or not. But just making a post because someone blocked you on Facebook after you were trolling their page for no reason? Come on.

Nick, calm down. I was making a response to someone who made a claim about the rules here. You seem determined to create something else out of that. Don't.

Nick, hi. Lucille was responding to my query as to the allowability of this type of post. She was illustrating what 3rd party postings ARE beneficial and so needed...
I understood it as an illustration of the rules for 3rd party posts (which are very well documented) and this one, which, as I said before, is like Romper Room for FB fools.
