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.

Rich recently posted in another thread that the old list no longer applies to the new system and he would be deleting the list.

Someone who has been suspended can now rejoin Fauna for only ten dollars each time, until they are banned.

No problem. I forgot which thread it was in.

Yes, that is correct. I had my programmer completely automate the fine and suspension system. I suppose I could have had him set up a log file for it, but it seemed rather superfluous as the warning system will pretty much keep track of things for me. When someone reaches 100 points, then I have to come to the conclusion that they really are better off being somewhere else other then on this site. So they get the BIG boot out of here.

Seems reasonable from my perspective. Besides it is easier for a person to pay $10 at a time than to have to go for $40 or $80, etc.

Is 100 points going to be your line in the sand? Will this be done on a case by case basis, or regardless of the member and the nature of their infractions?
I realize it will take a LOT to hit 100 points...but as this site ages...it seems the chances that there will be more and more people who might get close to that stage will escalate. People who are a positive force here and do more to contribute to the greater good than it would be worth to throw them out...at least in my humble opinion...
Just curious really...I try to play by the book (come on...look at my warning points)...so I am not worried for my own sake...I just know there are some people who I feel have a great amount to contribute to this industry who don't necessarily always know when it is in their best interest to keep their mouth shut...and everyone knows you can't teach an old dog new tricks...

Just thought of this question...
Do you think you will ever be inclined to reverse a ban?
Kind of like the difference between a suspended license and a revoked license...
Even at some point in the future...revocations are reversible...although the process can be fairly lengthy...

Well, it depends, I guess. Should I make a distinction between someone being "a difficult learner" and someone being "malicious"? What is in the best interests of this site (and my own sanity)? If myself and the moderators are constantly having to field reported posts from a particular person (and not just from a single antagonist) then would it not just be best to get that person out of here when it becomes painfully obvious that they are NOT going to be able to get with the program?
Then if that person is booted out of here, what are the chances that they will have a revelation down the road and finally do a complete turnabout of their personality? Should I require them to get an Endowment membership to prove their sincerity and give them some real incentive for being sincere? Heck, it's not like I have never been lied to before......
The 100 point line in the sand is going to be a problem, no matter how I deal with it. Some people will say I am being too harsh by strictly enforcing it, if that is what I do. Others will claim I am being soft and ignoring my "get tough" change of action recently if I do give someone some leeway. So no matter what happens, I will be damned if I do and damned if I don't by someone.
After 100 warning points, I don't see how anyone can honestly say they didn't get enough warning that reading the rules might be a real good thing for them to do, and then pay attention to how they post here, referencing those rules religiously.
