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.

"Upon Pain Of Death, I hereby....
....SWEAR, as new member of the Fauna Classified family, to actually [b]READ THE DATES on ads before I dredge up 1 and 2 year old posts and spam the board to ask "Is this still available", especially when I have no intention of buying anything at all."
"Furthermore, I hereby promise NOT to ignore posted contact information (like emails, phone numbers and requests to use private messaging) and just blindly post "Is this still available." to every ad even remotely related to my interests, which further demonstrates my insincerity as a viable buyer."

Reasonable addition to the terms of service?

I would prefer that the word "death" be replaced with "public flogging".

+1. I will vowel the same and can I add, I will delete all my old classifieds in a timely manner so they can't be resurrected from the dead thread grave.

Perhaps we could meet in the middle with "scourge".

There are plenty of exceptions to that which I've found/used. If it's several years old I'm not going to bother the person unless I find newer information elsewhere on the internet about their breeding plans and I certainly would not bring that particular post up or if it's some very specific individual animal probably not. Some posts a year old are still something someone is producing ongoing and hasn't continued to keep an updated listing or that hatches out yearly so what they listed last year will be available this year if you want to get a jump on it and first pick. I've made plans for fall US natives this year from last year's breeders and I'm following some for garter snakes that responded to others when they ran out last year.
I always find requests to use email specifically not returned no matter what I send and sometimes it seems pm is missed since it will send an email that a reply has been made to a post in your thread but not that you have a pm. Maybe there's a setting somewhere no one turns on. I've had to get some people's attention by posting on their thread instead. Others have commented to me the problems this has caused when people sent a pm and gave up rather than pursue the thread/listing despite it being around that year old mark. Out of everything I've bought 1 has been a current listing that responded promptly with only pm or their listed contact info. The rest I never would have gotten without doing several of the actions listed above.

FYI, yes, the admin option is ON for members to receive email notices when they receive private messages. I double checked to make certain.
The biggest problem is that email services such as Google and Yahoo (and there are certainly others) tend to classify forum sites with a good amount of traffic via email notices as spam sources. So if a user of those services set their spam block options too high, then those email notices will be identified as spam, and not get to them.
Really nothing I can do about that sort of issue.
