    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Can you please give me your definition of this rule,

Personal slurs or heated discussions about someone's ancestry will not be tolerated.


I am curious as to how these rules are perceived to each and every moderator that has the capability of administering points to individuals that may very well be the outcome of money being paid to this web site through paypal for profit.

Also, how is it that you can be charged these points for one comment by several different moderators thus increasing your points for one post. Is that how it really works? You don't get charged x number of points for one infraction and then if it occurs again you get charged again?

Thanks,
Wyatt

Thanks,
Wyatt

Several mods can give points for one post because its incentive NOT to speak in such a way. If you do it, deal with the consequences.
 
Oh I got it!! So if there were 500 mods and you messed up one time and all of them decided to jump the bandwagon and charge you then you are out $50 for one comment. That sure is allot of incentive to stick around here rather than stay with Kingsnake or any other herp related website. But comments like,

Hey wyatt, scumbag, shmuck, are you such a loser that you don't know when you've won even the smallest of battles?

That go on and on really get in the way of what this website was intended for back when it was first started. It is just a shame that this site and the whole BOI has become the blunt end of so many jokes among breeders now days. But I guess that tells allot about the people who run and mod this site. It's like being referred to as Dr. like it is was your name from birth!!! LOL

No Dennis. I guess it is only self explanatory to the person who is issuing the points as to what they want to perceive is personal slurs.

If 500 moderators decided a comment was so bad that it compelled them to pile on the points already given by other moderators, I would assume that the comment was of such a nature that it wouldn't be a loss to the community if the offender simply weren't here. To get five hundred people to agree on anything is a miracle alone.

Do you not recall me telling you that antagonism toward moderators would also earn you warning points?

You just got 5 more warning points and I'd gamble that more are on the way.

Talk about suckers for punishment.....you might be the champ.
 
Thanks dennis, that was what I needed to know.

Personal attacks like that on a member outside the BOI will also earn you warning points.

You really don't grasp the whole concept of the rules, do you? Or maybe you do and you really just don't care.

Wow, theres a thought....wyatt doesn't care.

And face the facts, you didn't just respond to me now. The only reason you started this thread is because of me and the warning points you earned fair and square.

Stop being such a spoiled sport about it. I won and you lost. 2nd place ain't so bad if you look at it as losing first. Congrats!

LOL. If there was ever a wrong tree to bark up I'd think it would be yours. Call me silly, but I don't screw around with people in the military who received expert training in hand to hand combat. LOL....Aren't you also fairly knowledgeable in demolitions? ROTFLMAO AGAIN!!! What could anyone possibly think of writing to you that you make you quake in your boots? LOL.

But on a serious note....I truly apologise if I got him all wacky and he's taking it out on you as well as other members and moderators.

Plumbers plumb and bakers bake. I just antagonize. I really gotta get myself a trade one of these days.

If you are referring to Dr. Owens here then I have to say that your ignorance overwhelming.

If you had a modicum of an idea how hard it is to earn that title that thought would never have crossed your mind. It is obvious that you are (to quote a friend) "Too stupid to realise just how stupid you really are".

I may not always agree with Dr. Owens (His friends call him Jay, you are no friend) but I respect the effort he took to earn his title and would never begrudge him the right to wear it with pride (as he should).

If you really hate it here so much, why don't you stay on KS? I hear they like folks like you over there...
