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.

The people I've dealt with in the past that have had bad grammer and typing were the ones that ripped me off. I'm not talking about your normal, everyday mistakes. I mean typing like that Jesse Underhill guy. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='  '>
An example would be a man I bought a turtle from who was swearing a lot and had very little patience. He had a lot of great reviews and I could pick no other faults than that. The turtle I received was not the same we had agreed upon and he refused to refund my money or do any exchanges. Has anyone done business with someone who seemed very unintelligent and received the high quality animals they were looking for? The few people I've talked to have told me that if a person seems shadey, I should stay away. It's just kind of hard to tell when they type like a 5 year old on crack. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '>
Thanks for you're suggestions and please be nice as I've noticed that people replying can be quite unneccesarily vicious. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Candace,
It's "grammar" not "grammer" and "shady" not "shadey".
Sorry, I couldn't resist! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='  '>

Mr. Venum, just type your name at the bottom of your post for now. Later, go into the control panel and follow the instructions.
Candice, I understand what you are trying to say, and you are partially correct. There is, however, a difference between typos, expedience and ignorance. If someone posts with what is obviously a lack of class or education, it would be wise to use this discrepancy as a possible indicator of youth or unfamiliarty with the English language. Nothing wrong with being young or bi-lingual understand. As far as poor grammar goes, forget it, we all sucome to the lure of fast typing and coloqual grammar. I myself am guilty of poor spelling, typos and playing loose with a sentence, and my worst fault, I am told, is that I am a "Dirty Old Man"! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '>
