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.

Thanks Brandi. LOTS of Cinnies. A lot for me anyway. Got 20 eggs in the incubator so far and should have about 20 more on the way.

Lets keep this on topic, which is Ed's ad and his business practices. As Rich has stated in the thread in the feedback forum, leave the mod ability attacks alone. If you feel the need to question mod abilities, do it civilly and professionally.

i really didn't see a problem with the original ad. they were advertised as ch imports. anyone buying ch imports knows that genetics aren't guaranteed.
alot of people use the names like granite,banded,ringer,harlequin,shatter,black back,blurry,reduced,tiger, etc. quite often and freely.
i have more of a problem, with the really new and unheard and unproven morph names. ie "emerald jewels" used in ads.
ed, didn't make up these names and imo, the ad was pretty par for the course for ch imports.

Agreed.
I could scroll through the classifieds and find tons of other people that do the same thing as Ed.....where are all their "Sketchy Classified Ad" threads?

There's alot more going on here than just a "sketchy" classified thread. That just seems to be one part of the total picture.

For my part, it's just a sketchy classified ad. His wording indicated that the animals were posessing a genetic quality that he can not verify- thus "sketchy ad" rather than "bad guy" or "con man"
I asked him on that thread if it was just poor wording, he didn't respond by the time it was locked- a supermod said a BOI thread would be more appropriate to continue the discussion and I found his choice of timing for his edit to be suspect. So here it is.
There do seem to be a few more things going on- though I think it may be important to seperate animal related issues from personality conflicts. If there is a more signifigant underlying issue with the way he deals, it's unfortunately getting a little lost in a discussion about warning points and karma. Although I do have to acknowledge that a tendency to lie in one facet of his life does make it more likely that he'd lie in others. I just don't particularly CARE about the kind of backbiting sniping that happens through Fauna's karma system, so it doesn't hold as much weight with me as it seems to with others.

I would tend to disagree. There's plenty of newbies out there that just see something called a morph, and take that at face value. To say that "everyone knows" is just plain silly.
That would be the only problem I had with the original ad.
