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.

Unable to reply to Classifieds
For some reason I am unable to post a response to classified ads, but I can respond everywhere else. I get:
machine0020, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
I have been able to respond before, but did something change? Did I do something wrong?

Did you happen to look at the Announcements (posted at the top of each section of the classifieds); or the thread here, entitled Enough is enough in the classifieds ( http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru....php?t=249378)?
The situation is fully explained in both places.
(The opening post of that thread is the same as what is posted in the Announcements)

No, I didnt see that. I'll probably get chastised, or receive negative karma or something, but it seems like this site is becoming a bit of a money grab as of late.Thank you for your quick response though.

Sorry if I inspired an eyeroll, but you might as well just shut off the ability to post for everyone. I just read through all the Announcement I missed. Seems like it would be easier to allow more mods to give infractions, but to each his own. Thanks

Except this wasn't to encourage (or coerce) people to become paid members...quite frankly, it would be kind of silly for somebody to do so JUST to be able to post in the classifieds. Registered members can still post ads, they can still edit their ads, and they can still contact other members regarding ads - all for FREE....so what would be the draw for the "money grab".

Nope, I'm not going to chastise you just going ask you to explain your position.
"but it seems like this site is becoming a bit of a money grab as of late."
You must have a list of things that leads you to this conclusion. So please present them and I will hear your point of view respectfully. If it is becoming this way lately there should be multiple actions you see to support this impression. Could you name a few? A couple?
Do you have to now pay to use this site?
Do you have to pay to post a AD?
Do you have to pay to see a AD?
Must you pay something to contact a seller?
DO you have to pay to use any of the discussion groups or to respond to them?
Do you have to pay to leave feedback for anyone on the BOI?
The answer to all of these is NO. What else is there to cover?
Not much that I can think of but apparently I must have at least missed a few if this site is becoming nothing but a "money grabbing" free website.
A policy was changed to cut down on abuse. Nothing more or less.

Money grab?? Contributing members are contributing voluntarily, as we enjoy what this site has done for us (the entire herp community). You're free to sell animals for FREE, you've got access to loads of FREE info and you can research buyers/sellers for FREE. I'm just not understanding why you feel this way. And that's NOT chastising you; just wondering how you mean "money grab".
