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.

BOI Thread labeling
Alright, to start off:
Over a year ago, I was to buy a reptile from a reputable breeder. For now, I'll leave him unnamed.
The animal was injured before he was able to ship it to me, and he offered to either send me something else, or give me a refund.
I had considered taking an alternative reptile, but it was something that he said he'd have to get back to me on. Eventually, I decided on just taking the refund, as the whole process was taking too long, as in, months.
At one point, he told me that he suffered property damage during one of the hurricanes in florida, and was in the process of getting things figured out. I felt badly, and told him not to worry, that I'd contact him in a few weeks.
Eventually, he told me that he had gotten in a court battle with a reptile store chain, and was trying to get money that they owed him.
To prevent further babbling, this is almost 2 years later, and I still don't have my money OR a reptile of equivalent value, for that matter.
I've sent him numerous messages telling him that if I didn't receive my refund, that I'd have to post a negative threat on the BOI.
I'm really bad at being harsh, even when neccesary....
I'm creating a thread now, with all the records of the exchanges with this individual, but don't know whether to give it a BAD GUY prefix, or an INQUIRY prefix. This will be the only (unsettled) negative post on him at the moment.
Which would be more appropriate?

Inquiry would be more appropriate if you were asking others for their experiances with this person...if you don't feel comfortable using a "Bad Guy" prefix, you can use the "Info" prefix, but with the small amount of information you have given, I might just use the "Bad Guy" one...

I'm not looking for experience with the person, I want my money back from the person himself.

If recent communications with this person have gone unanswered or if they are telling you what you want to hear but not following through on their end, it's time for a BAD GUY thread.
That means any and all emails or other written correspondence you have had with this person.
DO NOT POST WITHOUT SOME KIND OF PROOF TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM!
Good luck with it.

Info may be the option you want to use. Its fairly Unbiased in general, and anyone looking will see that there is INFO in the thread to help them with their selling/buying decisions. Good luck.
