Warnings......

Listen up people.

I'm getting people whining and moaning about being issued warnings and I'm about tired of it. I'm busy enough with my own work, since this is in the middle of breeding season for my animals, and just don't have time to play nanny here.

Read the warnings page:

Warnings listing

Read the rules page:

BOI posting rules

Then blend in some common sense with all of this.

If you think you have a better idea on how to run this ship, then build your own site and do it. I'm trying to do my best and have dug deep in my pockets, and put a lot of blood and sweat into this to give you what you see here.

Although I am willing to listen to suggestions, I am not interested in hearing your whining. I made a decision on how to treat something that got warnings assessed and that is that. It is a way for me to let YOU know that what you did is not kosher here. It is also something that is available for people to see that some enforcement of the rules is actively taking place, so it may be appropriate for them to figure out what is right and what is wrong to do. It is purposely made to be tough to get yourself banned by breaking the rules, but not impossible. That's because it is NOT a banning tool, but a guiding tool.

The system is "as is" to you all. I have handed you the chainsaw, now you figure out how to use it. You can either build something nice with it, or cut your own danged head off with it, that's up to you.

Yeah, I'm getting pissed......

Don't let them get to you WebSlave, you're doing a great job with this site. I think most to all of us are very greatful for this site and the work you do on it.

ok people this world is FULL of rules and regulations .... its simple read them and FOLLOW them or you get warned ? whats so hard about that ?

If you speed you get a ticket ? but yet you know speeding is illegal.

If you litter you get a ticket? but you know this to is illegal.

Why cause you were told this or you read it somewhere telling you what happens when you do them aso just take 10-15 mins or a hour if you need it read the rules & TOS if it doesnt sink in heck read it over untill it does .

I to was warned ... Why because i left my signature out on a post ... did i whine ? nauh could i whine sure . But why what would it prove ? it would prove i VIOLATED a rule here so i just learned to make sure i post my name lol
so if you think your time is valuable then why isnt Rich's time valuable????? i think hes done a helluva job giving each one of us a place to come to. and all the expense of his own wallet!!! and the supportes of this site . so for gods sake read the writing adhere to it live with it or go whine somewhere else and be thankful that you were warned and not just dropped as apaid advertiser as ( another well know place would do) when you violate there terms of service so .... what are ya waiting for he gave ya the link go read.... before you clean the snakes cage .....

webslave,


I just wanted to say I'm glad someone has the balls to set up an Inquiry like this one. No other website would even consider a board of Inquiry. This provides an invaluable service to all breeders and dealers that still believe in integrity. I would guess that an overwhelming amount of the complaints are coming from the "bad guys".... Think about all the innocent people that are arrested every day. They plead their case and most (not all) are set free. So life isn't always fair, but its all worth living. Even the bad has its lessons.

Im proud to live in a country where we have the freedom to say things, that some might not want to hear.

Webslave,
I just wanted to say that I agree whole-heartedly with what you originally wrote in this thread and the postings that followed. I think you're doing a great job. And if a few warnings is the worst thing that happens to me in the herp business I'll consider myself lucky.
Thanks for all your hard work,
Phil Frost

I agree. I happen to like this website. Points and all.

I agree with everyone here. This is an excellent web site, and had been very useful for me, since I am fairly new at this. I really don't know a whole lot of names of breeders. Just by sitting back and reading some of these posts I know who to stay away from and who to send my business too. Thanks alot for that.
