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.

BOI: Too many personal problems
Hey all...
How do I start this. We all deal with animals. There are things that happen somtimes and animals die without reason. They get sick and can be big problems nursing them back to health. Things get twisted around in deals because some people are not very clear in either the information given or information asked for. My point is the BOI has a purpose and I believe that the purpose is being abused by many people here. To many people get their feelings hurt and begin to bash people and/or businesses within certain threads. We all need to understand mistakes will happen in this business and depeneding on how they are delt with will determine if the business and/or person is on the up an up(good guy). or on the Down low(bad guy)
any comments?

It's good to see that not only can you read the rules and follow the TOS, NOT, but that as a member of this site for all of ALMOST 2 months you are so well versed in its rights and wrongs.
Perhaps you should learn a little bit about telling the truth and not whining like a baby when you get caught lying. If you actually do a little research here you will see that it is only the bad guys that complain as you are starting to do.
Appologize for your mistakes and move on. But, do it sincerely or not at all.
By the way, this is not suitable for the BOI. Perhaps Sound Off or General Business would be better. One would figure that someone so well versed with the intricate ins and outs of the site would have known that. Go figure.

I never claimed to be a guro of the BOI. I merely stated my opinion ( I am entitled to have one right?) on what I believe the intentions for this bored is. As far as right or wrong for being here...I believe it is well placed here becasue this is exactly what I want to get out. I as a person never lied to anybody. I as a person never whined to anybody. But you seem to have a problem with dealing with people. You cannot seem to understand a problem has already been solved and move on. You cannot accept the fact that people have had good dealings with an individual that you had problems with.

I agree that people do tend to go a little overboard and get unnecessarily "ugly" here. Some people think they're mods when they're not, think they're gods when they're not, think they're perfect when they're not...but I've come to expect that it's just the "way" of this forum.

Michael,
That is what this site is about. Posting both good and bad when it comes to deals with people/companies. Yes, feelings get hurt and I agree that at times some things are taken way too far.
The rules of this site, when it comes at least to posting bad deals is to include detailed info regarding the deal at hand. With that said, what other way is there to conduct ones self when it comes to pointing things out?
Could it be considered whining? I suppose. In most cases MANY of the posts that are put here (bad deal posts) would not have to be here if people were a bit more thoughtful when it comes to selling something. Yes, mistakes do happen, BUT I do not think the following are mistakes: no heat or cold packs in extreme temps, not sending a product when payment is received (trades included), not sending a snake that was the size that was quoted, not communicating with email inquries regarding arrival of payment and following through with shipments, and things like this. The above situations are the cause of almost every post on here when it comes to bad deals or what you call, whining.
In order to get an accurate idea of ones business ethics details like these need to be mentioned. How else can one make a educated decision about the person they might deal with without facts such as these?
Although Wes might have worded it a bit differently than I, I just do not see the point of your post.
Just like your last sentence stated, and I quote, "We all need to understand mistakes will happen in this business and depeneding on how they are delt with will determine if the business and/or person is on the up an up(good guy). or on the Down low(bad guy)". Without detailed information or 'whining', how else can someone come to the conclusion of someone being on the 'up and up' or the 'down low'?

I like what you said. But I was merely responding to WES' comments. He said I was whining...when I was not. But from what I see so far. This Thread is going the way I expected it to go...which is very good. I hope it continues this way with more comments from many users that have been here a lot longer than I. My intentions are to get out in the open the "nastiness" that is here and should not be accepted.

Michael ...Maybe Wes was simply annoyed at the simple fact that you DID not follow the rules here, you posted not an inquiry on an individual or company, you posted not a dealing that you may have had that went bad or good.
What you started here was a general discussion or something that should have been put in the sound off forum or somewhere else.
Just an observation, but don't be surprised if this post gets moved

Wes is annoyed at a lot of things apparently. That is exactly what I am talking about in this thread. To defend Wes a little bit as well. Nobody should get annoyed and pipe off at everybody else the way things seem to be the norm here. This is a forum where we should use our heads and no bash a piss other people off. If a guy is a bag guy then fine...list him as a bad guy...state your reasons and leave it at that. But if others come to defend someone by stating they have good dealings with them they should not be ignored. If this thread gets moved I hope everyone that uses this bored follows it at least.

Michael,
There are as many approaches to dealing with situations as probably people posting in the BOI. You may not like the way some people deal with a situation. That's OK though, you don't need to agree with their methods. But it has been that "nastiness" you mention that has proven to be very effective in telling apart the good from the bad guys in many instances.
