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.

Disappointed.....Venomoid advertising
I am kind of disappointed in this site allowing De-Venomized.com to be allowed to advertise his site with a banner ad. I know Webslave doesn't answer to me or anyone else for that matter but I just wanted to express my disappointment after seeing De-Venomized's banner ad on this site.

Advertising is advertising.... Just because a majority may not agree with it does not mean they should be prohibited to promoting the growth of this site by paying advertisers fees.
(And not to worry, I'm one of the vast "majority" as well... lol)

I think so too . People buy these snakes and have no idea how to care for them in captivity. A venomoid makes snakes that need expert care available to anyone with a check book.

Once I start applying my own person bias on allowing banner ads (or classified ads, for that matter), where do I stop? What criteria do I use to pick and choose which advertisers I consider "worthy" or "not worthy" of advertising here? Do I disallow competing websites? Do I disallow ads by people competing with my own reptile business? Do I block ads from people who may have a questionable reputation? Do I block advertising from people I just don't like personally? Once I put my foot on that slippery slope, where will I end up once I start sliding down the hill?
If 10 people think I should remove an ad, is that enough? Or should 20 be required? And what criteria should I use in choosing who can make that sort of decision? Run a poll for each and every advertiser?
Sorry, but no. I set up the FaunaAds site to be pretty much self service, and I intend on keeping it that way. Unless something is pretty much universally accepted as being offensive to the general public (porn sites, etc.) then I am not going to do anything at all about it.
And to be honest, I would prefer for the most part that people just make their own decisions about what they do or do not do. So if you see an ad that you find offensive, just don't click on it. If the advertiser is not getting any hits, they will soon quit the advertising anyway. If they do get the hits, well then, what is that telling you?

How the hell am I supposed to know whether they are getting "hits" or not?
The venomoid issue is a pretty big one but I know of a few other sites that will not allow this guy to advertise the mutilation of reptiles....
I understand it's YOUR site and you can't start judging folks that wish to advertise on YOUR site but all of your "should I disallow's" in your first paragraph are apples and oranges by comparison.
There are plenty of things I don't understand I guess this will just be another.
Oh well. This is your site.
