    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....

Ebay strikes again. Deleted this one as well.



I am beginning to think Ebay and Paypal are out for themselves only. Based on personal experience and from what I have heard from others, they can't be bothered helping out people that got ripped off.


When I spoke with ebay they told me sorry but since this acocunt is suspended they can not offer any of the sellers information or list anything they have auctioned basically they are taking down evidnece of this acocutn period! BS

As most of you know, now, Michael and Tere are both good solid people who know how important trust and honesty are to maintaining a relationship.

It's a damn shame mikey has this pathological need to be such a weeny but I am glad to see a new friendship blossom out of his weeniness.


I second that.

Jacklyne, his most recent personal information has been provided by Tere in this thread. There really isn't any need for you to request his information from eBay considering its most likely inaccurate anyway.

As far as eBay is concerned, at this point, you are on your own. eBays only interest right now is in collecting the listing fees for the auctions from Mike if he hasn't already paid them.

This isn't going to be an answer to your question, obviously, but I'd like to say, for the record, I still haven't had a return call from Tucson P.D.


that's because the Tucson Police dont really do anythign when you actually need them. I know that form being a long time resident.

Saladragon said:
Nope, Tracie, not a peep from them, yet. I'm going to try contacting them again today, as I'm hoping to have a free second or two.

Update: Tucson P.D. did finally call me. They took down ALL Mike's information. I specifically asked the Officer if I was going to be in trouble for this, and was told "not in any way". I am SOOOOOOO relieved. Maybe I can take a full breath now.

That's great Tere! I'm Hopeful that it is pursued.

Me, too. I'm pretty sure the kids are happy mom will be here for Christmas, albeit recovering from surgery. Better that than sitting in jail.
 
Jacklyne, (nueb, eddieabrigo) It wasn’t a suggestion.
Now we have been polite. You have been given more leeway than most.


Dennis Hultman said:

Jacklyne, I'm sure many appreciate your position and posts as do I but you have already been warned. Post your full name please.

This post was made as a moderator not as just a member. The automated message that you read was also extremely polite.

You now have 8 warning points.

Please read the rules and try to adhere to them to make FaunaClassifieds more useful and enjoyable for us all.

Thanks,

Dennis Thomas was also extremely polite and sympathetic.


DThomas said:
Jacklyn, first sorry this has happened to you. Secondly, it is a requirement of the BOI to have your full name on every post. I would hate to see your posts get deleted because this rule is strctly enforced. And last, where in AZ are you located? I have a very good reason to ask.

Again, a link to the rules. Please read them in full.

It is also clearly posted on the forum title as well.
Board of Inquiry®
This forum is provided exclusively for the discussion of specific persons or businesses in the herp industry. YOUR FULL NAME is required for each message you post.


Now, again! I understand your position but you have to respect this site. The good people of this forum have gone out of their way to help you and others that Mike has scammed. You need to respect the few rules we have here. We care about this community and this forum. As much as Mike is a scumbag your posts shouldn’t be allowed if you aren’t willing to put your name to them.

Now, I’m really done being polite. You agreed to follow the rules of this site when you signed up and posted. Like I stated, I’m acting as a moderator making sure the rules that we have established here are followed. I’m also a member who believes those basic rules need to be followed.

Long after Mike’s thread is no longer active here I have to ask myself if letting you set a precedent worth it. In my opinion, it’s not. I’m not willing to do that.


You may post in any of these forums without posting your full name except for the BOI. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/index.php?

Are you just ignoring the warnings, and polite requests, and even the PM I sent you explaining your full name is required? :shrug01: I even told you how to go about fixing it. If you continue to post without your FULL name, (that means last name too, not just a V.) I am certain all of your posts will get deleted, and be for naught.

It's a forum requirement. Not a request.

More than enough opportunity has been given to rectify the problem.

I take it that Jacklyne's BOI posts have all gone bye bye?
In a sense. They've been soft deleted. If she chooses to heed the advice she's been given and edits her profile to reflect her full name, then I'll undelete them.

YEAH!!! You are a good samaritan that got hit by the bus! If the Tuscon police come after you, I'll be there as your character witness!!!

As if doing this in the U.S., alone, isn't bad enough. OMG.

did anyone get screenshots of the posts? im interested in reading them :shrug01:

To be honest they didn't really contribute much to the thread, no offense to anyone. I'm just saying the posts don't really have much impact on the whole situation. :)
