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.

Reputation Level?
What is a "Reputation Level", and what causes it to go up or down? I couldn't find it in the FAQ, and it doesn't appear to be your posts, because there are people who's is in the red. This is just bugging me. Could someone please shed some light?

Reputation level, or karma, goes up at various post count intervals, membership milestones, and when given by other members (this is done when one or more members think you have made a very good post). The amount your karma will change varies by the the reputation level of the giver (ie one with higher total points will make yours go up more than one with lower points). Until fairly recently, negative points could be given as well (for bad posts)...but that was being abused, so it was removed. People "in the red" may have gotten a lot of negative points (typical of trolls)...or they may have been suspended for various reasons - some types of suspensions result in an automatic drop in reputation level.
There are limits in place that regulate how much karma you can give in one day, how often you can give it to one person, etc.

Okay, that makes sense, but how do you add to someone's karma?

I think only paying members can give out karma... ???
Maybe it's just me but I only see the circle (that shows if someone is online or offline) and the report a bad post sign.

Matt,
It depends on your membership level. I don't think you can as I don't see no "coins" under your user name.
Regards

for an outline of the various membership benefits, and the corresponding membership levels, take a look at this page http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ad.php?t=64541
The ability to give positive karma has been attached to the contributor member level for some time (I don't know exactly when)...you've had a change in membership status since you used to play with us Rana.
PS - nice to see your name on the screen once in a while
