    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Wendy Childs, Reptile Addictions

I am confused.....James Bowers' posts all read like he lives in the Northwest, yet his profile clearly says "Louisville, KY".....which is of course where I am from. What gives?

I'm from KY. I lived in Spokane from 2003 until September of 2010 this year. I relocated to be closer to all of the trade shows that makes this industry happen. I'm back amongst the living after being out in the woods for the past 7 years.
 
Ahh, gotcha. I was just reading the posts scratching my head, lol.

Welcome back to the good ol Bluegrass State, James! :)
 
CUZ

If what has been said about her is true, what is really bothersome is the fact that she is able to post for sale ads here and, to make matters worse, be able to display her "good guy certification". :shrug01:

The GoodGuy system rules are posted there. So far her trader rating has more positive comments than negative. and her GoodGuy poll has zero comments.
 
once again no on has anytime to spend other than on this crap when will this thread end so I don't get anymore f-in emails

Huh??? So everyone should adjust what they want to do and say so they don't inadvertently bump a thread you're subscribed to so you don't get any more e-mails???

Two VERY simple solutions for you that will not involve dictating your world to everyone else... :rolleyes:

1. Turn off your e-mail notification for subscribed threads. (This is option found in your userCP)

2. UNsubscribe to this thread. (Click on the link at the top of the thread called "Thread Tools" and select the "unsubscribe" option.

That was exactly my point Lindsay. If there are 20 positive comments in the trading system, do they need 20+ negative experiences to modify their profile? Depending on the nature of the negative experience, it seems one should be enough to remove a good guy accreditation. If not there's a chance to have 19 people with bad experiences before a change is made. But let's leave this discussion for the feedback forum...:yesnod:
 
do they need 20+ negative experiences to modify their profile? :

the way i read it just one in the right place would do it. i was trying not to explicitly suggest it since I presumably have no direct knowlege of the events in this thread, I only read the last couple pages since it was cross-posted in the Uromastyx section.
 
the way i read it just one in the right place would do it.

Right now it seems there's not one in the right place. From what we know from this thread there's an individual selling an animal that was not paid for (legally it doesn't belong to her); furthermore selling animals that are apparently not what they are supposed to be (bear with me I'm no frog expert :) ), plus...:shrug01: An individual that does "his homework" (as some like to label it here) makes a purchase based on the good guy certification and, if he ends up in the wrong end of a deal, wouldn't he or she be upset the purchase was made based on the reputation backed of by this certification?
 
once again no on has anytime to spend other than on this crap. when will this thread end so I don't get anymore f-in emails


How about some punctuation in your posts so its easier to read.... and then go turn off the email reminders. Here.... I'll help you with some red paint.
 
not suprising.....

I am not one bit suprised to hear she is charging to walk in the doors or to hear that she is going out of business, I have tried calling the store at least 25 times and have never gotten an answer and the first time I walked in I was completly ignored for about 20 minutes I walked around without her saying 1 word to me I finally approached her about a chameleon she was nice until she found out I wasn't buying 1 that day because I wanted my fiance to be with me to help pick 1 out so I blew it off and came back with him a few days later he had never been in there so he wanted to look at everything wendy was there nd so was a woman who we figured to be her mother we walked around for about 20 min or so b4 we made it to the chameleons wendy had gone into the back and shut the door I tried asking her mom a couple questions and the only answer I got was I don't know so we were just going to wait for wendy to out but after another 15 minutes my fiance said forget were buying somewhere else, but what finally made me realize she is not a good business woman was the 3 baby chams she posted online I wanted them badly I called got no answer left a message asking if they were available to be picked up she called me back and I asked if I could pick them up tomorrow morning and she hung up on me I couldn't believe it I called back no answer left message told her I really wanted them but I live over 3 hours away and I just could not mmake it in but that I had a friend in town who could bring by a deposit to hold onto them....I never heard back so I called one more time and it was her mom who answered and said whoever comes with the cash first takes them and hung up I will never go back in that store and am so thankful for the excellent customer service at RASMUSSEN REPTILES in northtown mall they have been nothing but nice and I now have 3 beautiful veilds, I hope if she does stayy in business she will learn how to treat everyone that walks through the doors with respect and not like a crap.

This looks a whole lot like a plug for a competeting store :NoNo:
 
Holy wall of text, Batman! I can't believe I even read all of that! Kaydee, here's a tip when typing out a long story online; people find it much easier to read your story if you use commas, periods, and separate paragraphs when you have expressed one idea and are moving on to the next. Nice ad for Rammussen, by the way.
 
so for all this, wrongfull douing, we need to spend months and months talking about it because we have nothing better to do with our lives than chat on this. thanks for the how to turn off threads advice. ill do that
 
mmmkaydee....:/ How about some punctuation. And if you listened to all of Wendy's answering machine you would hear that she clearly says she doesn't answer the phone, ever (you could have spared yourself some phone calls).
I have been to Rasmussen. They made me feel a little uncomfortable--like I was a bad person for asking them a question about their products. :( Even though I assume if run a store, it's supposed to be ok for customers to ask questions.

Really not sure what your point in commenting on all this is. Are you somehow under the impression you are important to this discussion's credibility and continuation? :shrug01:
 
OK guys, drifting off topic now. If you want to discuss Robert's posts with him do so in PM.
This thread isn't about Rammussen either so comments about them good or bad need to be in another thread.
