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.

Spammer Found, Admins Help?
Hey all, dunno if this bothers you or not, but yazookadaj is annoying the crap out of me. He posted in almost every single ad in the leopard gecko classifieds thread to trade for his bearded dragon, in addition to his advertisement, which was placed in the wrong section, for this potential trade.
Now, I don't know what the official rules are on spamming, but this sort of over advertising is a bit ridiculous, especially when the entire post is obviously copy and pasted since it's always addressed to "Karl". Could an admin or facilitator or someone with more authority than measly 'ol me please tell yazookadaj to cut it out? He's probably new and doesn't know any better, but this isn't exactly the best forum etiquette.

See the little triangle with the exclamation point (!) at the bottom left hand corner of their post? Click that to report the thread. It may take some time for a Mod to see this post.

Double posting again, sorry!
Problem is, the exclamation mark isn't showing up in the classifieds. I just checked his profile and there's nothing that I can click on either. I suppose I could just email him myself and tell him of my concern, but I don't have any authority to do that here and I sure don't want to tread on any administrative toes. He's stopped for now, so perhaps the problem has passed?

He's starting to bother me too. He's emailed me three times asking for a trade, and each time I tell him I'm not interested but he keeps on emailing me.

You can report an advertisement by using the 'report product' link.

Have you tried e-mailing the offending party and saying bug off?

Nope, I haven't. I prefer to let the admins deal with spammers since they're the ones most familiar with the rules and have the most pull with people. I've notified people in the past of certain minor violations in other forums and I've had mixed (and not always positive) responses, so yeah, I just pass off the responsibility now.
