I know all I am saying is that he claimed that I can be deleted with a court order so I wish to know exactly about what kind of court order he needs.

=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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.
First you say you can get the order, then you admit you are clueless.
You might either let the thread die down, or make efforts to change the way you interact with people. If this experience gets you to do that, then that will be good for you and good for us.

Yes I am referring to that, and believe me I am not clueless.
Yes you are. If you were not, you would not have to ask about it.
There are endless numbers of people here who have promised to take their matters to court. If you just search the words "court", "sue", "law enforcement", etc., you should have plenty of references to follow. There's even a Judge Judy thing in the BOI right now. Maybe that guy could help you out. However, just the threat is usually enough to make Rich back down.

I'm not threatening to bring anyone to court.

At one time I was actually considering setting up one of those displays like you see in some factories indicating the number of days that have elapsed without an accident. But mine was going to be the number of days since the last threatened lawsuit instead.

"Meltdown" seriously? As if I actually raged back there. This is exactly why I don't screw around with communities anymore.
Figure it out smart guy. Your posts are here to stay, and you said it yourself, they are PERMANENT...So you are SOL, and you signed off on that when you agreed to join this site. Read all the TOS before you post, then you might not put yourself in such a crappy situation...
Or you might, just because you're not smart enough to know not to troll and act a fool on a public website that can and will get looked at by other people.
Unless your real savvy with law you will need a lawyer.
Now, between this guy and a couple of the boi posts I think we can call 2014 the year of the psychotic.

Michael,
I hope this is a well learned lesson.
And for the record, requiring people's names and locations actually cuts down (or does it? Full moon!) on the trolling and the ridiculous stuff.
Because, who wants their name associated with crazy profane things? Especially with the power of google!
If you're wanting this taken down because of a potential job or even a probation officer review or something like that?? I suggest instead of making demands that you simply try and apologize and start acting right. Be a good person and you'll go far.
