Kevin Rivera stole my snake!

And if I am being totally honest it seems as though there are quite a few people who never got over their High School teenage girl drama

I don't blame you.

Research and ask questions is my best advice.

OP, sounds like you have a lot to learn and you are willing to do so, which I commend you on. Although this is less than an idea situation, is it not an uncommon one, and it's clear to all including yourself that you over-reacted. Chalk it up as a learning experience, and take whatever constructive feedback you can from it. It is essential to do so, because if this reaction becomes habit, people will be hesitant to sell to you. All the best moving forward.

I can't say that I completely disagree with you, but it's a bit puzzling to me that you would rather contribute towards the very thing that you dislike instead of discouraging it by ignoring it?

The people who run this forum are not the opinion police. Express your opinion if you like, but also allow others to express theirs, even if it is in direct conflict with the way you think things should be. The people who run this forum do care if opinions or actions violate forum rules. If no rules are broken, then we are not about stop a debate simply because one side cries foul.

Your choice to be here and participate is up to you.

This is the BOI, (the I stands for inquiry, which is what seems to upset you), and is set up to help people not get scammed. Often, there are those with experience as well as community input, and each person taking the time to post brings a different and perhaps valuable perspective.
Rather than being upset at the quantity of participation, one might be thankful for all those wanting to help. I do believe that participation in the BOI whether it be reading, posting, or checking before purchase, significantly decreases the incidence of scams.
It is not unheard of to see the original tenor of a post change as new perspective is added. The truth is not always a short path.

That's good, and I don't want stop people from expressing their opinions it just seems to me calling people thieves and Crooks right out of the gate would violate the terms of service and that the people who run this board and I would assume collect money from the advertisers wouldn't want to look so bad, it always seems to be the same group of people who pile on. If I were an Advertiser personally I might rethink how my company looks in that regard. With that being said I am doing as you stated..... using my choice to participate and comment unless or until the powers-that-be prevent me from doing so

Warning: If you wish to discuss aspects about how this site is run, we have a forum set up where such discussions are encouraged and welcomed. -> http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=44

I suggest that you avail yourself of that resource if you wish to continue bashing, er, express your opinions of, this site. Otherwise the "powers that be" just may have no other choice but to terminate your off topic discussion in THIS forum and thread.

Oh I'm not bashing this site I actually like the site quite a bit which is why I came here in the first place, I'm only pointing out that the behavior of some people is bad form

And just out of curiosity why am I getting a warning on here and nobody else when others have done exactly the same as I have done? Doesn't that kind of prove my point?

OFF TOPIC discussion is not allowed on the BOI or in the classifieds. I don't know how many other ways this can be stated - take it to the FEEDBACK FORUM if you have questions or issues with the way the site is run. That is why you are getting yet another warning, we are trying to HELP you understand how this site works. Want to reply to my post? Don't... take it to the feedback forum. Thank you.
