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.

Just so I'm sure I understand this change, these types of posts as listed above are still OK, the only change is that now supporting members are the only ones who can make them?
And that holds true for the OP as well- they can only reply in their own classified thread if they're also a supporting member?

Those posts are okay, to the extent that they already have been:
I recently posted a thread in this section entitled Disruptive posting in a classified ad - understanding (and avoiding) the infraction. In that I hit on some of the problem areas, and the second post was a quote from Rich. For anybody that isn't sure what is acceptable, I'd recommend taking a moment to read through it. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=246614

I explained my reasoning. Take it or leave it. No skin off my butt either way.

Long Time no chat on here...... But I see that Rich has to put up with the same BS has he has had to for years and years. no matter which way the guy goes he will have a person upset................lol........
Rich, To tell you the truth man i have no clue how you still do it. I would have just said screw it. Any other site owner says this is the way and people say cool or leave. but people sit here and put you down over and over. I am not sure what way is the right way. BUT I do know that any way will tick off someone.... Talk soon bro

Hey Gary,
Yeah, I expected it. I'm thinking I might as well stop ALL replies to the classifieds, even from paid members, and just get it over with.
If history is any guide, some people will get themselves worked up over this to the point where they get banned when their emotions get the better of them.
As for how I keep doing this, I've gotten MUCH better at just ignoring people when it suits me. I discovered that I really DON'T have to reply to every email and PM.....
Of course, I do love a good argument every now and again. Keeps the brain cells sparking better afterwards.

Please don't! Give the "paid members only" version a try first, please?

They never said they would allow a bad ad to stay. They are just eliminating the attacks. Much easier to get rid of a bad posting then numerous replies that contain ton's of stuff people were asked not to do.

Before that line of thought goes any further, we cannot offer any guarantees about any buyer, seller, animal, or product in the classifieds. We do not screen ads, or make decisions about who can advertise...the position of this site has, for as long as I've been a member, been that each individual should make the effort to inform themselves about the people with whom they are doing business. The BOI, Trader Ratings, GGC (and the associated polls), and references are among the tools at their disposal. Naturally, they should also educate themselves on the animal or product.
