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.

Day late to add my thoughts~ but here they are.
I don't know about Nerd and hot snakes~ it's not the subject of this thread. There ya have it.
Clearwater reptiles
I was reluctant to add my name to the negative poll on the certification, I was'nt sure it was appropriate~ So I was unsure~ UNTIL.............
UNTIL I NOTICED HIS "REPUTATION" ON FAUNA INCREASING!!!!!!!!!!!!
When this all started two days ago Clearwater had a 90-something (I don't recall the exact number) reputation. Yesterday and today he has a 100. SOMEONE IS ADDING TO HIS REPUTATION POINTS. I know at least one person did it on accident~ but I left negative points~ so that should have countered it's self back to his original score~ NOPE~ His reputation is still 100 points. SOMEONE IS ADDING TO HIS REPUTATION.
I thought about that. I thought in a few weeks this thread will fall off the bottom of the first page. Those here NOW will know what Clearwater did~ but the new guys will come onto Fauna and see that he has a 100 reputation, and a certified "Good Guy" because he only actually STOLE from ONE customer who CAUGHT him. He's is going to make sales with that. Someone is not going to bother to look him up because obviously he is a "Good guy"~ he has a great reputation number~ and ONE piddly little negative on his "Good Guy" cert.
I don't want to be a "Good Guy" if Bill gets to be one. I don't want to be ANYTHING like that. So I voted bad guy. Give him all the anonymous positive reputation points you want. I voted BAD GUY in the forum that details what I voted~ because he is a BAD GUY and I am angry at the business and respect I WILL LOSE because he was thought of as such a "Good Guy" on the forum I have spent several YEARS building my modest but positive reputation in.

Cheryl, here is the thread to NERD freehandling venomoids at a show they had at their facility. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ad.php?t=70169
Rich, I'm curious, why are only paid members able to vote now? That's not how it was last night, why the change?

Is there a way to have 2 polls set up per good guy cert. applicant?
One for people who have done business with the person, and one for people who would or would not do business with a person ?

There more or less already is a system in place like you mention. The Trader Rating. That is strictly for transactions. The Good Guy Cert is for all of the others. They may not be tied together, but each individually pretty much does what you suggested.

Personally, I think deleting the now bad-guy certification takes information away from the table. It's a big difference between just not being on the list vs. being in the negative and highlighted (which I also think is a good idea, to leave no room for someone scanning and thinking the unhighlighted "bad guy's" name in the list correlates to "good guy".) The original BOI leaves it all up there, the good, the bad, and the extraneous. I would think the info that someone had lost their "good guy" status should also be left up on the BOI "lite".
Just my opinion. Carry on.

Because upon reading this thread yesterday (in between Comcast dropping out) I realized that having the voting open to members who could likely be false IDs is not in the best interests of the people participating in the BOI Good Guy Certification Program. This includes not only the people who would be the ones having the certificates, but also the people who may be inclined to use the system as a guide for who they may consider doing business with.
And yes, sometimes I do change my mind about things.

So even though I've had a business transaction with NERD, I cannot vote. Ok.

Agreed. Look at repti-bid and all the people there who were caught giving themselves false positive feedback... Same type of situation if you leave it open.

I've seen this mentioned in the BOI thread about Bill too, but I'm not going to put my waders on and go look for any quotes from there. I gave Bill positive rep. points for the post where he admitted to what he did. Maybe some people think that is wrong, but I interpret the feedback system as a way of evaluating posts. I wanted to give him credit for finally admitting to what he did. I thought it was a good thing to post. That's not the same as giving him a good guy vote or a positive trader rating... at least not to me.
So I'm sorry if my contributing to Bill's rep points has anyone upset, but I don't believe I was abusing the system. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and interpretations.
