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.

Well Randy,
I can understand his frustration. It is rediculous that people can not read the rules for posting on the Board OF Inquiry. You have been on the Board before, you know the ruels of posting your full name, so there is no reason for you not to PERIOD. Instead of getting upset because you were scolded, maybe you should take that energy, put it into editing your profile so your name shows up on each thread you post Automatically instead of using the excuse ooops I forgot again, and again, and again. Neil does not work for the Fauna Classifieds, and even if he did what are you going to complain about? He reprimanded you about your inability to follow the rules set forth by the owner and administrator of this web site?

Well, we all know that Neil DOES get excited from time to time! But hey, count yourself fortunate. Many of us would have just told you to get your act together in public instead of trying to spare you through a private email.
I don't use language like that, and I wish Neil wouldn't either, but the sentiment that has sent him to such means is commonly shared here. If you can't read the rules to the BOI, expect people to point out your errors when you break them. If you can't get the picture after people have tried to help, expect to get ignored by some and blasted by others. Either way, coming on a FREE SITE and complaining about the rules is just stupid, if you ask me.

Neil does not work for Fauna, he owns a petstore in Tampa, FL. That was pretty mild Randy, you should hear him when he gets upset!

Randy, you are fortunate that Neil found your messages before I did. I would just have deleted them, and that would have been that. Matter of fact, if you have messages on theads that do NOT have your name in them, they are definitely in jeopardy if and when I finally run across them.
Personally, I find that people posting here that cannot take the time to read the rules, probably already have one strike against them in an argument concerning credibility. It reflects strongly on a person's ability to look before they leap, and their attention to details. Also, anonymous postings have absolutely no weight at all in here.
Neil does not work for me and does not have a say in how this site is run other than his suggestions as a user. But he certainly is entitled to his personal opinions. I'm sure he gets just as frustrated as I do when someone may make a substantial post with valuable information, yet know that it will be deleted as soon as I stumble on it and find there is no name attached to it.
Enforcing what should be a simple, easy to understand rule does get rather tiring.
While his choice of words may not have been the best, please accept the message as an attempt at being helpful.

Isn't there a way to automatically pull the signature from the account profile. Make it mandatory. If they do not have the profile set-up, they cannot post! This way they do not have to remember, it is already on the post as soon as they click "Add Reply".
This would make a lot less work for Webslave and give no one the excuse "I forgot".
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks.

I have never tried to post anonymously.I just forgot to sign my name.I just found the option today that automatically signs your name at the end of your post.Web Slave:You have my complete permission to DELETE everyone of my posts.I had a GOOD dealing with a fellow and just thought I would pass on my compliments.I'm sorry if you think this hurts my credibility.NEIL and WEB SLAVE,please,if I ever forget to sign my name would you please just delete my post instead of telling me that I have a "thick brain" and to "read the GD rules"...and that my credibility is questioned.I believe that if I saw my post deleted I would realise I made a mistake,not to be cussed on private e-mail.Everyone always wants to expect the WORST in people.
Full Name: RANDY BUSH
