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.

So perfect example of this "Killing the messenger"... I make my first BOI post with less than stellar feedback on someone who has otherwise generally good feedback (sorry to say, my experience kind of sucked, not with the animals, but with customer care), and in less than 12 hours my reputation level went from neutral to greater than negative 50. It shouldn't be any wonder why people are afraid to post.

I don't really think your situation quite fits that category. At best, it suggest that some may be a bit trigger happy with negative karma. Just try not to be so thin-skinned on the BOI. Everyone's free to give their opposing opinions and dish out their karma as they see fit, but the loudest voices don't necessarily reflect the opinion of the masses; not does that red block necessarily define who you are. I think you should just do your best to post in a calm, honest and resolute manner; let people find fault where they will. Don't be so eager to jump into traps that are meant to make you lose your cool and justify their negative ideas about you.

Thank you, and I hope you're right. It seems like all animal hobbies are very cutthroat, and I know how damaging something so seemingly stupid as forum rep can be.

Don't bother, the regulars on this board own the place. If you don't do things exactly the easy they want you to, they just gang up on you. Your story is one of many at this point.
A few are harsh but they mean well, but the vast majority are just internet-power hungry mean, angry individuals waiting for something new to come along so they have a new toy to kick around for a while.
Browse the classifieds, but don't even bother yourself with trying to be a functioning party of this community because that's not what the regulars want. They will simply dog you until you get fed up and leave.

I do not think this is right. I have been a member for a long time, and I have seen many different types of people post, some probably don't even own any reptiles, but if you/they act in a respectful manner, offer your opinions in a clear deliberate way, and above all, never get caught up in the drama, you will be a valued member of this forum. The BOI has stood for years because it is too important to let it be silenced by the few trolls that lurk here. As Dan says, the
