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.

I posted this in the poll, but thought it was maybe worth considering.
Maybe we should require mods to have a GGC in good standing, if they fall below "par" , then they can't be a moderator on this forum. I'm just thinking out loud.

I like the way you think Bill and Amy, the only problem is that a website is required to attach that to. how many mods here have websites?

In theory that sounds good, but if that was the case it would exclude me at least from being a mod. I withdrew my GGC because two members (ex members?) gave me a negative vote even though I had never done business with them.

Why don't you have a website Ed? You would think you would want to show off all those breeder animals you have.

Well, I believe there is more to the GGC than just past business experience with a person. I have had bad experiences with people and never completed a transaction, I think that still allows me to vote on their GGC accounts. I still believe you would hold a positive GGC even with two negatives. Its not a perfect system, but better than what's in place now.
Ed loves replying to my comments here, because he knows he has unanswered questions in his BOI thread.

The problem is that the permissions to allow attachments or photos to be removed from a post is tied in with the permission to edit the entire post, text and all.

I absolutely agree that removing text in that manner is disruptive to the flow of the thread, and unlikely to be attributed to anything other than spite (or something darned similar)...that is why I only addressed images. For the most part, any justifiable editing will happen relatively soon after the post is made...aren't things set up to allow editing for only a limited time period - 2 weeks comes to mind - (except for forum mods within their area, which is its own problem)

It was set at two weeks, but once I saw this issue going on with the photos, I dropped the window down to just a few days. I wasn't sure which way things would bounce, so better to be on the side of caution somewhat.

A few days is reasonable.
If one doesn't notice anything wrong with it within that time, it probably doesn't need to be edited. And, in a discussion, once people start replying, it is probably better to just make a new post to clarify whatever the issue was.

I was a Contributing member for a year. The following year a Benefactor Member and then Endowment Member for the year after that. The link to the subscriptions still states “Want to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds? Click here”. It doesn’t state, want to be mod click this link to be one. Everyone seems to now view contributing to this site must mean that you are doing so for the ability to issue warning points.
I first came to Fauna because I believed in the idea of the BOI. I stayed and contributed time and effort because I found value here. I enjoy reading most of the members’ posts and I have made some friends in real life that I would have never met if it weren’t for this site.
My contribution to Fauna has nothing to do with the ability to give warning points. I made a promise that I would renew before the W.S. Moderator plan was announced. Since it is an ability to issue warning points with the contribution, I will issue them if I see fit to do so. It isn't my defining reason to contribute.
You can take the stance that both bad and good guys are buying the ability so they can either support the site they value or seek some sort of protection if they don’t conduct business well. I'm not going to let some scumbag (no particular scumbag in mind) that thinks he can become a member that has this ability (issuing points), determine my contribution level.
What matters is that if you let those who seek the ability to give warning points for reasons that may well be unethical silence those that have good intentions (moderators or not), you do a disservice to yourself and those that are uninformed.

Well, I guess I was right about putting pressure on someone to post in the BOI. Ed knows he has unanswered questions that I have asked of him. So he makes a point to answer my questions here and when I say something to him I get dinged.
