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.

...and you can pretty much copy/paste Sally_Dog's comment for a follow up I agree, it IS frustrating to see someone act like there's nothing wrong on the ONE forum the info can't be shared, when there are problems to be addressed.
I don't agree with, but will respect the decisions on RTB and others that wish to follow suit.

Yes but the problem I have with Ashley is that she is not just a bad breeder, she is a manipulative bad breeder who can fool people into thinking she is a trustworthy! Especially if they are new or just reading her posts on RTB.net. That's why in my mind it is so important for those new in this hobby to be made aware of this vitally important information. I may be beating a dead horse, and this may be my last kick at it, but that is my stance and I think it is worth beating the dead horse on this because it pertains to the life and death of people's collections.

The posts on the first thread were deleted regarding the IBD, and the threads remain.

So let me see if I understand this (as I cannot view the deleted posts...)
Posts indicating the boid up for auction might have been exposed to IBD were deleted, and the reason given is "not needed"?!?!
So people who may not have ever heard of the BOI are bidding on an animal that may wipe out their entire collections, and are forced by moderators to remain blissfully unaware?!?!
Donnie clearly you can see where I am coming from with my accusations?
Allowing Sakara to reopen an auction allows me to believe you tried to mislead us with your claims that her auctions were closed. Closed but allowed to reopen at her discretion equal not really closed.
I am not saying RTB.net needs to do anything to spread the word, but allowing the conversation to take place takes less effort than supressing it does.

Donnie was NOT the Admin responsible for the deletions, and I don't know that he was even aware of it untill after the fact.
But THAT is one of the reasons I know people are getting the impression RTB is shielding Ashley.
I don't believe they intentionally shielding Ashley, but from THAT instance, I can see why people feel that way.

No, he is just the poor guy that had to come over here and take the beating for all the rest. He is a stand up guy for that.
As I said I do not think they are shielding her either, but they appear to be trying hard to act as though nothing is wrong.
Again, Donnie, what has me riled is that posts that contained information of possible IBD were deleted in an auction thread related to that snake. I understand it may be TOS to allow "conversation" posts, and not strict bids, but COME ON! That is a perfect illustration of a zero tolerance policy at its very worst.

I know it might *seem* like RTB.net is trying to shield Sakara, what they are really trying to do is avoid drama, which I can totally understand.
Personally, as long as all future ads from Ashley are deleted immediately upon posting, I see no problem in the way RTB.net is approaching the situation.

I recognize the user name. I live in Austin as well, and purchased a corn snake from her a little over a year ago.

Did you have any problems with the snake? Any mites?
