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.

I feel like that information should be posted in the section where you select a level. All that is listed there are the prices. I had to search to find out what benefits I would have by upping to the next level.
Are there any other benefits to moving from contributor to benefactor? Like more PM's allowed? This info should be right there where you select your membership level.
Thanks for making this site work...

OK, now I see the link in that top section, I still feel like it could be made a little more prominent (i.e. Option C - Contributor Level Membership- 30 Bumps per Month, etc...) listed right there where you pay....
AND/ OR
Put "Paid Membership Table" in bold at the top.....
just some suggestions

Also, to Rich,
Could it be pro-rated? So half way through the year, I am having a better year than anticipated... Can I upgrade to a higher level and pay a pro-rated price?

Sorry, but there is limited space in the descriptions on the subscriptions page, and quite honestly, trying to cram all such info in there would just befuddle too many people trying to make heads or tails out of the listings there. Unfortunately, providing too much information is just as bad, and sometimes worse, than not providing enough information.

If your current membership is 6 months or less old, I can upgrade you for the difference in price. Basically you would need to pay directly via PayPal and provide info in the payment concerning what it is for and your member name. You can do PayPal to me via payments@faunaclassifieds.com if you want to proceed with this.
Thanks.

Ya effin right. Nothing is being done . Its the same crap going on every where. I'm done trying on this site. I'm going to be meeting with an investor this week . We are going to be talking about creating a better site and software to solve this problem. I posted last night, and with-in one hour I was 4 pages back. My wife says just do what they're doing. I said thats the problem. It should be one ad per week ,per category . A spam flag button, for people using more then one email . Maybe a way for members to report duplicate ads.
For now its not worth it.

One ad per week, per category? And you don't think ads will get buried?
A policy like that might work for a startup site; but there are 1059 people viewing this site as I compose this post. The classifieds are the most heavily used feature of this site; so, yes, ads get buried quickly in the popular categories.
The expectation here is that people will manage their ads, deleting previous versions when they repost. A lot of people don't bother - whether intentionally, or not - and they subject themselves to possibly having their ads removed and/or incurring infractions. Obviously, given the number of ads being posted, we cannot check each ad, and look at the member's history to see if they are in compliance; but I focus more on this aspect than reviewing names/locations, and I delete a lot of ads each week. It's a time consuming process, as it means sending a lot of PMs; and I only have just so much time available for that endeavor.

Exaggerate much? I just looked, and only 2 ads were placed within an hour after yours (in the same category). That hour barely moved you out of the top spot...and it was 4 hrs before you'd dropped a full page. Again, you posted in one of the most heavily used categories; so, yes, 18+ hrs later you're on page 5. If you think that is too far back to be effective, feel free to repost....but make sure you delete the earlier version(s) of your ad as you go. (You've been advised of the expectation, so I wouldn't bother sending you a PM )

I have an observation somewhat related to this topic.
I focus primarily on the Turtles & Tortoises portion of the classifieds. I have noticed a number of folks who are not contributors who seem to like to avoid paying, but want the benefits of bumping their ads. The typical workaround is to delete ads and repost them when they get a day or so old or drop into the area of the second (or so) page. This tends to kick paid member listings further back much, much faster than normal. In response, I tend to bump my own listings more frequently. More frequently than I would otherwise have/feel need to. Much more during especially "ambitious" periods for such members. Some of them do this for three, four, and sometimes even seven (or so) ads at a time. That kicks a lot of listings down for free. I am not sure it violates a rule explicitly, but it is a pretty obvious tactic to circumvent the contributor-and-above bumping benefit and keep non-paying member ads at the forefront at the real estate expense of the paying member ads.
Thanks for giving this a read. I see many of these same folks often paying to be on KS because it is the only option to post there and trying to utilize a "loophole" here to get out of paying for a particular benefit.
