    **************************************************
    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....

Scott of ScottsSerpent is Certainly a Crook

All I was saying was that Rich had already said that he wanted no part of such things....so it was pointless to send the complaints to him. Rich specifically said that he isn't going to be the one to judge who to believe and who not to believe, whether we agree with it or not.
 
For those who may have missed it.....

Dennis has it right, John. We are not going to make the decision for anyone about who they should or should not do business with. Getting banned from this site is contingent upon how they act here in relation to the rules of conduct. And even then, it is much more the exception rather than the rule for someone to get "booted".

As for actual business transactions, unless we personally have dealt with such a person, everything posted here concerning "bad guy" or "good guy" is strictly hearsay. There is no failsafe truth-o-meter for each post that we can use to determine the accuracy or truthfulless of the words someone else has typed. Regardless of how strong the evidence may seem, we STILL cannot make the decision for anyone else about who it is wise for them to do business with. That is completely up to each and every one of you to decide on your own, based on what you see posted here and YOUR interpretation of the information presented to you. We CANNOT and WILL NOT be a judge in those matters.

Cathy,
You of all people should understand Kevin's point. When I used the BOI to check out Chris Johnson all I could find was glowing praise of his animals and his integrity. And we all know what that was worth. Even months after I exposed him for the scammer that he is; Fauna still had him listed as a Good Guy. Anyone looking then would see a good guy certificate and presume it meant something in his case. I think Rich does have some responsibility as owner of this site to monitor it for scammers. As far as hearsay goes, "Where there's smoke, there's fire". :shrug01:

I have to disagree.

He's given the users the tools and gone so far as to say it is up to those users to utilize what he has given them.

He's just a cornsnake breeder with a great site, not the Captian of the Reptile Police.

I think the guy who thinks he's captain is dand, you might want to check with him and see what he thinks should be done, he has lots of ideas and loads of authority, heh heh heh, but not much ability to anything with either as things now stand. Someone with some intelligence to help point the way would most likely be appreciated.
 
Wes, know you're bringing the off topic subject off topic. :rofl:

I see your point (on the first part) though. I just don't agree with Rich's stance on this. Not asking for people to be banned just that they not be allowed to advertise.
 
Why not include in the TOS that if ads will not be allowed by individuals/businesses that have multiple customer complaints on the BOI?

You CAN choose who you allow to advertise.

TRR will not allow anyone to advertise a void. So why not implement a policy restricting ads to only people who meet a certain criteria?

This way a scammer can have his ad pulled if he puts one up since he had already been warned in the TOS that this could happen.
 
Jim O has started a thread in the feedback forum were all of this can be discussed. Please take any further discussion there so this thread about Scott doesn't continue to stray off topic.
 
Just received this nice PM and email from Scott.

I will post what I want, where I want on this site as long as it falls with in the rules. I would suggest you do not make idle threats. Get a job? LOL, you obviously have no idea what I do for a living. One of the perks of my job is that I have several outstanding attorneys on retainer that will tear you a new one. You will be in debt to me for the rest of your life if you bring any sort of false action against me. I would suggest if you want people to leave you alone, go away and do not come back. Your track record is less then stellar and is right here for all to see. How about you address the empty box you sent?

Andrew,

If you would like, send me your contact information in a PM and I will contact one of the Postal Inspectors I work with and get contact information for a local Postal Inspector for the Los Angeles area. Seems ole Terry has gone completely off the deep end and time for him to stop and face charges.

Scott, you wrote:


So you do admit to making false threats/actions to people you do know?! You are a piece of work. I do know that you made a false "action" with my dealings with you when you lied that you were going to ship me my snake via a courier when I specifically stated I did not want it shipped USPS. So what did you do? You shipped it via USPS. And I still never got my money back from you either. Although I do appreciate all the effort you went to to try to defame my reputation. You could only hope someone would do the same for you so you can merely say you once had a good reputation...yeah right! We all know you never did.

Talk about hot water getter hotter! You shipped Mr. Thomas an empty box?! Are you kidding me?! You just signed and sealed your fate in this hobby.
Scammer.

Yasser, if you go back to page 1 of this thread, you will see it wasn't Dennis THomas but another man, an Andrew Hare who received the empty box from Scott/Terry/whatever his name is today. Scott/Terry is now pitching fits because this thread was posted on the ad where he sold the snake that turned out to be an empty box.

Regardless, the guy has gone off the deep end.

It really makes you wonder if the Scammers, Rip off artist and assorted low life's all get together and talk to decide that OK Terry it's your week to make a fool of yourself for Fauna entertainment. You really have to wonder sometimes....Randy
