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.

Furthermore, if "big apple"'s REAL FULL NAME is NOT what is shown in his profile here, then as far as I am concerned this person is trying to obscure his true identify in violation of the rules here. As such I would like to see that PM if and when it is forwarded, as PROOF of true identity.
Secondly, it is my policy on this site, and opinion, that anyone using a false name and/or location info during registration or while advertising animals is doing so in an implied attempt to defraud the membership. While that may or may not be true, that is the stance I am taking in an effort to try to reduce the effects of scammers utilizing this site for their own nefarious designs. I do apologize for any collateral damage that this may cause, but I have set up the rules of registration for that specific reason, and I intend to stand by that as policy.
So with the above in mind, it is my PERSONAL opinion that no one has to feel obligated towards any promises they have made towards such persons, as their membership here is actually fraudulent by the above mentioned definition, and any contact with them should be treated as such. |
the name he gave me was Xiao Zhang...so according to the rule, he should be banned...
