    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....

Professionalism?

Actually Dennis when I said that I was referring to perhaps some of the mini mods assessing the points in protection of the Super mods and to get back at the person (walk of life) who some are clearly not liking at the moment.

Thank you.


On another note, why is everyone still responding to or trying to convince the OP of anything? It was painfully obvious from the first couple of posts that this is but another shrill incarnation. Someone that does not have the courage to debate face to face so to speak, with their true identity, does not deserve this communities attention. They are nothing more than an outsider lurking in the shadows of anonymity where they feel safe to take shots at this site. They certainly will not get any of my time.

You are correct Dennis. I wasn't going to respond to this thread at all, it is simply I have too much time on my hands today :ack2:
Unless the thread starter cares to elaborate or switch tactics I am only going to continue reading. Not worth my time (even with some spare time) either.

Were that to happen as you describe, and be brought to the attention of one of us, the offending WS Mod would find themselves on the receiving end of points for warning system abuse.

Sorry Ken, did not see this post.

You see "Walk of Life" this is exactly why they are super mods and have been for a long time.
 
As a newbie with no standing I am going to speculate that Walk of Life is someone that was or is a friend of somebody who was soundly beaten up out here in the past. He doesn't believe that he can be victorious in open combat so he has resorted to insurgent tactics. He may or may not be linked to the obvious suspects. He would hope to cause dissent and paranoia among the troops.His thought processes are remarkably similar to Shrillomn.He is rather like a flag burner in that he professes a moral symbolism but really seeks only to get a reaction. This is the profile that I have come up with and if nothing else it demonstates that as a recently retired man that I have very little to do.

Sunshine, I resent the fact that you think I'd be less than fair.

Also, your opinion is just that, one opinion out of many. Should walkie talkie choose to actually come forward and name some names, which I think is highly unlikely given the lack of backbone this and his other incarnations have proven, I would treat him no differently than anyone else.

So long as it is NOT an attack, why should he get points?

Now, defining attack, that's another thing entirely. It seems that some think mere mention of detrimental facts can be connoted to be an attack when that was not the intended, but thems the breaks. You types your letters and you takes your chances. I am a living example of that.

The fact that I have NO respect for cowards in no way means I'm going to treat them unfairly. Should a backbone be grown by our troll I'd treat him the same as any other member I didn't like. Fairly.

Do you honestly believe Dr. Jay, Ken, and I are so shallow that we can not accept criticism of our actions without automatically assessing warning points for antangonism? There is a world of difference between calmly and professionally presented criticism and an outright attack. I think the three of us know that and can recognize the difference.

Dennis is 100% right. I have questioned the super mods and even Rich himself and never once got points for it. It is all on the way you go about it. I can not see my points right now but I do not think I have any at all.
 
LMAO ......... That was great.

IMO though I think fauna has become more interesting. Sure there are memebrs that post a bit harsh. But I would rather have that then people just ripping others off.

Yes, it is becoming more interesting...and will become more so as those people that where sitting at the computer posting harshly have their turn to bend over (what goes around, comes around).

*I am referring to the poll where it is obvious that so many herpers are not following shipping policies..when a snake is killed because the package was held back, or didn't arrive in time...I can see..a LOT of people are going to have their chance to experience this "harshness." :yesnod:

.....this has been a paid announcement. :thumbsup: The realllll you is showwwing thouuuuugh...yoooourrrr trueuuuee voooiice.

Deborah, if you are referencing this poll that you recently posted on
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=124

It might be important to note that a lot of people posted on it before FedEx readily approved shipping of snakes. It was around the time UPS started to drop many people that were shipping snakes with them for years. Also, the poll didn't specify just snakes. Many people that took part in the poll were shipping other reptiles. Nobody posted on that thread for three years until someone brought it up this year. It's kind of funny to see people pop up on the thread three years later stating I only ship certified through FedEx when many that posted on the earlier parts of that thread and other threads and took part in the polls are the ones that paved the way for it to be readily available for others to become certified.
