    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....

Antagonism towards a moderator who was acting in a manner unbefitting a moderator. I accept the points with pride.

Thank you sir, may I have another.

You've got to be kidding... Sledgehammer gets a warning when Bobby was the first one to try to steer the thread to a bad guy thread? Ben, shame, SHAME on you.. you should have cowered and sat there taking it like a doormat since it was a moderator you were replying to. Tsk tsk.

I don't care if one likes Sledgehammer or not, this was pretty blatant and one-sided; not so different from several other threads where 'liked' members' posts are being overlooked and the not-so-popular ones are being slammed with points. Yeah, I know... several of you will say I'm whining and snicker waiting for me to get hit with more and more warning points or bad karma.

Keep up the tight little circle with the popularity contest and cliques; it makes Fauna look so good.

(I can see the replies now: "If you don't like Fauna so much, go someplace else", etc. Save it.. there's a lot of knowledge on this site and I'm here because there are people I respect.)

Now Denise, did you take the time to read the other threads that Ben has been posting in? I take it you have not. :rolleyes:

This was not his first attempt at starting a thread for the soul purpose of making trouble. He has done this before.
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93175
Out of three threads started by him, two of them were for what? You tell me. :thumbsup:

As for Ben: Now just exactly how is it that I am not acting in a way that you see is befitting a moderator? Is it because I refuse to turn a blind eye? Sorry, if you are looking for that, you might wind up a little disappointed.

I have read them, thank you very much; no need for the eyeroll. Other threads have no bearing on this one in regard to warning points; the karma system is the tool to use if you're going to look at it that way. If other threads warrant moderating, so be it; this one did not.

"...for the soul purpose of starting trouble" is perspective; your perspective, no doubt, and maybe the perspective of many in the same clique.. but it is certainly not the perspective of everyone. To have a perspective is simply the way it is, and we all have one; I'm not knocking you for that, so please don't take it as an attack or take it personally.
 
I agree as well.

Bobby,
In my opinion, none of Ben's posts in this thread warranted any points.
You seem to have taken offense that you were not included in his list, and with a little prodding by Wes, decided to take the offensive.

Nothing that was posted by Ben in any other threads should have any bearing on the moderation that he receives in this thread.

Mike you are a good friend, I will always listen to your advice. However, I do not see where I moderated him anywhere in this thread. If he got hit by points, it was not by me.

He stated his opinion and I stated mine, nothing more.
 
Mike can certainly speak for himself, but I think he was talking about Bobby's reply to my post arguing that the points were warranted, regardless of who issued them.

They weren't warranted, and if they are, then Bobby needs points, too.
 
He may not have done it personally, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what happened here.

IF he got hit??? You know darn well he did or you wouldn't have argued that it was warranted.

Clear as mud; clear as mud, indeed.

Just curious. What is it that makes you think that Ben Martin is Shrillomn?

Well Denise, you seem, to know more than me. I do see he got hit now, but only after it was pointed out.

You guys are too funny, now I am a hit man. :eek:

Denise, you are right about one thing. Mud is mud indeed. It always shows up when someone downs Fauna, no secret there. Is that right Denise? :yesnod:

Mike the apologies excepted!! :thumbsup: It is just the same twist often thrown to the proof here at Fauna.
 
Also Denise, do show me where I argued that it was warranted on this thread. Or for that matter was not. The warnings he got from me he deserved, they were for profanity on a different thread. If you read this like you say you have, you would know this.
 
Bobby, since my original post was about THIS thread and you replied to it talking about other threads and his warnings being legit, I took it to mean you were arguing the warning for this thread was warranted, as I'm sure many others took it. There's no point in my debating this part with you any further because you'll twist it to mean what you want it to mean and I'll get warning points for Antagonism.

You're the one that first used the term 'hit', so let's not bring more unneccessary drama into this and cry poor wolf so folks will feel sorry for you being associated with a hitman.

Twisting and inferring again. You focus on the negative and conveniently leave out the rest, as always. In almost every (if not every) post I've made that wasn't so bright eyed and bushy tailed about Fauna, I have also expressed the positive aspects of the site and have said over and over that it is not all bad.

It makes no difference who gave the warning points, Mike's words still hold true whether he intended it to be directed at you or not. There was no twist from anyone.
 
Well you can call it anything you see fit. The facts are, you were wrong.

As for someone giving warnings, you are 110% wrong about that too. I do not have any control over who gives them but me. I had nothing to do with any points he received on this thread.

IMO, he stated his opinion and I stated mine, nothing more.
