    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.

    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Kingsnake problem, anyone else had this problem with classified account?

The emails and posts probably just share the same database on censored words so that they get [bleeped] no matter what/where/how/when. It might be just the way the software is set up and not worth the trouble to re-write even if someone wanted to make that distinction. Let's not make things seem more intentionally evil than they already seem to some.

Well I have to admit that I was curious about this. So I sent myself an email through this system including some words I know are censored here. All came through in the clear. I would have been surprised had it been otherwise.

Censorsing text that is displayed publicly in a forum is pretty consistent with a design of a message board. After all, there are really some words that are unlikely to be used except in very negative connotations, which most people running a message board would tend to want to filter out from public view if a poster got a bit carried away with their language.

Censoring text sent to someone privately through email is surprising to me, to say the least. Personally, I fail to see where it is any business of the person running the site what sort of language one person may use in a private message to another. But not being one to typically use such words in daily conversation via email, I really can't say if this is normal procedure or not in any other message board system.
 
Just sent myself an email too.....

My original email (just silly) said:

did you know that serpenco carry these?
did you know that faunaclassifieds has these?
Did you know that rich zuchowski is my friend?
Did you know that cornsnakes.com is one of my sites?
Did you know faunaauction.com is another site?

what I received in my email box:

did you know that [bleep] carry these?
did you know that [bleep] has these?
Did you know that rich zuchowski is my friend?
Did you know that [bleep] is one of my sites?
Did you know [bleep].com is another site?

I'm sure it's just because of the software, and isn't in itself a deliberate attack on private emails, however it is still a pretty sad statement.
 
slander

To associate this young lady with Jeffrey Miller's indescretions, when she would have been a mere child at the time, is ludicrous. She may live in the same state and may be acquaintances with that person, but that doesn't give anyone the right to make claims without facts, no matter who they are!

My personal opinion is that jealousy and greed is the reason behind accounts being pulled, as well as, friend's scratching friend's backs.

This young lady has obviously worked hard for her legitimate connections and some may not like it.

When I went back and re-read Savannah's original post, it never mentioned her account had been cancelled, so how is it you seem to know?

Sincerely,

Jon Brant
 
I would really like to see a full account of every side to this story. It is a very interesting revelation if accurate, but it sure does seem to be taking way to much poetic license in its guilt by association accusations.

However it also seems we have two new posters: one who has only posted to post positively about Savannah and one who has registered and posted for the sole purpose of implying extremely negative associations about her.

Neither holds much water regardless of notariety, without some concrete evidence.
 
Sernas/Miller

Her age at the time of the theft is not relevant. I'm sure she was not involved. Her age now might imply gullibility or naivete'. This might explain or even excuse her actions. It does not change the facts.
 
You are right Rich..

Kelli, both Neil and Adam were banned for what they did on THIS site. Nothing more, nothing less. What they do elsewhere is none of my business nor any grounds for my involvement or judging them as being welcomed members here. Matter of fact, even being a patently verifiable bad guy is not grounds to be banned from FaunaClassifieds. The only criteria I consider as being relevant is how they ACT while they are here.
Click to expand...

Rich, of course you are completely right and I absolutely agree with you here. In retrospect I probably should not have compared your site and kingsnake, they are so different. What I was getting at is that your site (faunaclassifieds.com) belongs to you and you can ban whomever you chose. By the same token, kingsnake belongs to Jeff and he can ban whomever he sees fit to ban. There is a big difference though, and I agree with what you said about the reasons behind Neil and Adam being banned, and I am not questioning your reasons behind doing such.

Now, is Savannah ever going to come back here and explain why or why not she was denied posting rights etc.?? After all, she is the one that started this thread.:eek:

This is just a FYI so no one has to do any testing on those above listed domain names. I wouldn't want you to get banned in the process of testing.
 
In order to see KS classifieds policed better, you need to police it yourself. Report posts, they will be removed if they violate the TOS. I assure you.
Click to expand...

Um, no, this would not be correct. I had a fairly good relationship with that guy that was dealing with this stuff for Jeff, can't remember his name but anyway.

I was getting ticked about them not following their own TOS, when I would mention a list of ads that were in violation to the first guy the dealt with removing them it was fixed.

I think he left KS and so I would send them to Jeff, no result!

For that matter, Tracy Barker had said some pretty childish things about a few stupid posts in the ball python classifieds. I felt it was just an all together childish thing to make the comment there so I sent Jeff the link and NOTHING was removed! When I was kicked off, I sent Jeffers an email with no less then 5 ads doing the same thing I was, not the exact same thing but breaking the same TOS rule and NOTHING!
 
Why are you sending TOS violations to the site owner and not the site abuse moderators?

Best job of back peddling I have ever seen Adam. Must have been difficult peddling that hard with both feet in your mouth.
 
There is one problem with kingsnake.com, Jeff Berringer. Not only does Jeff still owe me money from over a year ago but he will not return my phone calls and emails. My account as well as my hosting and web services were deleted because I dared to question Jeff for sending me a rude email. The guy is a little Napolean complex incarnate, although I do not believe that Napolean was such a pant load.
 
I'm afraid I may regret saying this, But

Correct me if I’m wrong~ and don’t worry, I have no doubt I will be corrected (right or wrong) I’m most likely to be sorry I pointed this out………..But I suspect y’all are arguing with and amongst yourself with either a Troll, or a Hypocrite, or more likely a Hypocritical Troll.

No offense intended to Mr. Jolly Rancher………..um, sorry, that’s Roger Jolly right……..well, I guess I made two errors right up front………I rather hope he is offended by the Hypocritical Troll comment………..I am somewhat offended by some of the comments he made about the posters here.

At any rate~ The Hypocrite part. On page one Mr. Jolly immediately begins berating the members of this site for watching KS and Mr. Barringer do all of these heinous crimes against nature and the universe………and according to Mr. Jolly: “there was barely a ripple of outrage from the masses here” (Fauna) There is too much of the same thing basically to repost it all here………..just return to page one and have a look at his first post in this thread.

Then……after several posts back and forth on what point he thinks he is trying to be making………...on page three he berates “Kelli” (HISS) because “Memories are so very short around here”. Then he reminds her of ALL the times people here at Fauna (that would be the masses) were angry and participated in threads on the subject (would those be waves? If not waves, at least a ripple of outrage in all these threads and messages)

“Did you miss all of the threads and messages the webslave posted when he first got this site canned from kingsnake and then his own SERPENCO site? Did that somehow escape your notice? Here, let me help you out a bit.

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/for...&threadid=16135”

That’s on the bottom of page three. Again, there is more…………….but I’m just a “casual observer”. Maybe Mr. Jolly Rancher should be too. I think there may be a valid and somewhat caustic point to some of his ranting, but Mr. Jolly lost grip of his point long about the same time he started worrying about his lower intestines in public.
 
Morph Specialties/ Jeff Miller

Jon, You call convictions on smuggling charges and the theft of my albino ball python project indescretions? I think its far more serious than that! Savannah has not "obviously worked hard for her legitimate connections"!

BTW, she's been online yesterday afternoon and all last night and she's has plenty of opportunity to respond.
 
Savannah, what gives? Why start something you aren't willing to finish? We're waiting...:(
 
John Schmitt, get a grip!

What would be my reason for this back peddling you say I'm doing.

I'm talking about a good breeders reputation, something that while you may take lightly I do not!

Bob is an excellent person to do business with, one of the smoothest transactions I've ever had. Just seems that with so many two faced people in this business nobody has had what it takes to tell Bob they were talking about his mite issue behind his back. I didn't know that was the case and I should have been more of an adult and spoke directly with him.

When the NY post runs a retraction article do you call that a nice job of back peddling too or just correcting something that shouldn't have been said in public?

How do people like you make it through life looking at everything from the darkest possible side? I mean, come on, does everything have to have such sinister roots? Leave no room for people to be good when you live in a world like that, something I will never allow myself to do.
 
Its AMAZING what people will do to ruin someone's business just because they wont be able to put their name behind something new.


If a person happens to know someone that at one time did something bad/wrong,That is by no means a fair reason to go out of your way to destroy them just for knowing that person...If that is even the case...........

Not sure why things can't be resolved in this business by means of acting like civil people and not children,Making all the accusations and what not when the proof isnt there ..Its just wrong.

A person that steals a snake or a person that goes out of their way to make false accusations to try and ruin someones business ..I SEE NO DIFFERENCE!
 
Adam

Since this particular issue is somewhat off of the main topic at hand I will post this reply and be done with you.

I believe your question was:

"What would be my reason for this back peddling you say I'm doing."

Choose one:

1.) You shot your mouth off and made a blatantly disparaging
remark against one of the hallmarks in the business and it never occurred to you that he might acyually read them.

2.) You posted the statement before your brain kicked in and you realized it was a stupid thing to do.

3.) You are a pathalogical liar

4.) You have a rather interesting complex that makes you think youy are smarter than the rest of the members on this board and can squirm your way out of things you spout by lamely attempting to twist them around on the person who points them out

Any combination of the above choices will fit.

Incidentally, a retraction is printed by a newspaper when they realize the information they printed originally is wrong. Your statement, not my post, was the only thing posted that could have been damaging to that good breeder's reputation.

While it is amusing to watch you try to squirm out from under your inane ramblings now that you realize the party you slandered has read them, I do have better things to do.

Have fun with this post too Adam. Maybe you can now shift from back peddling to tap dancing your way around your ill stated comments
 
My satement was that Bob has a mites issue! I've gotten them and many other have gotten or seen them on snakes of Bob's.

against one of the hallmarks in the business
Click to expand...

So you're saying the big people in this business can do no wrong? Because if I'm not mistaken the issue in this thread is people being to much of a coward to say anything about a "hallmarks".

Back peddeling would be saying Bob sucked then making the statements I made to get out of it.

In this case you must not have read well enough to understand I was making sure nobody confused the mites issue with Bob being a bad guy. Mites are little bugs, if you feel the "hallmarks" snakes are too good to get mites then I'm affraid it's you that needs to open your eyes.

My comment was not off post, I was only pointing out how many people know Bob has them and the fact that it's NEVER SAID!

Half the trouble in this hobby is the God complex small time hobbiest seem to put on the large breeders shoulders.

Hey, what about Rainwater, he still a "hallmark" too or would he be an ex-hallmark? The BOI is here to help keep small time rip off artist not get any bigger and "hallmarks" gone rouge like Rainwater and Jeff B. get stopped before too much damage is done.
