    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....

Bad Guy WebSlave

OK, I had to leave for work right after I posted this thread. So now I'll post the entire email to show I'm not making this up at all. So I know most will take WebSlave's side but I thought it to be quite rude. It could have left at "no I can't do that because I wasn't the one that purchased the geckos" not a smart reply in which I recieved. Scroll down to bottom and start reading upwards. Sounds good to me....


I'll he stated was

>> Sorry, but no, I can't do that. I don't think you need to think too hard
>> about it to realize why I can't.

He stated Sorry, he can't do that and asked you to realize why.


Which prompted this

Hey guys I don't like to bash people BUT. Anyway, I bought a couple geckos from a guy on this forum. So I was going to leave a positive trader rating, but wasn't able to. I sent an email to to ask why I wasn't able to. I was then told I had to be a paying member. Well that is all good so I asked webslave if there was anyway that positive trader rating could be sent to the guy I bought the geckos from. Well then I recieved a smart ass email for no good reason. I wasn't not once replying with a bad attitude until I got bad attitude. If anyone dosen't believe this shoot me an email and I'll forward it to you to show what an ASSHOLE this guy is. I understand that non-paying members can't leave trader ratings no need to be a asshole.

The conversation wasn't rude until your reply.

> You don't have to get smart about it. I just think the guy deserves some
> positive ratings for his great service. I think I'll stick to gecko
> forums, beings you have to be a smartie. Thanks for your time. And sorry
> to have a bad attitude but you were a bit smart on the reply. Thanks Alot!

You know what F*** all you guys! People don't have any common curtisity anywhere anymore, just rude *ss people eveywhere you go. I'm not whinning about it just think people have the right to know how rude WebSlave was. Very uncalled for smart*ss. You guys are not worthy of anymore of my time.
Yeah, You don't have the "common courtesy " to read the thread that you started...but do you see the irony of your complaint about how there are
just rude *ss people eveywhere you go.
when you start out a post with potty talk continue with curses, complaints, insults and more potty talk?
 
Followed up with a

Stellar.
 
"I don't think you need to think too hard about it to realize why I can't." What does he take me for a dumb *ss. When you're suppose to be professional like thats not a response you should have. Simply "no I can't" would've been better. Anyway I'm done posting here.

So the word Sorry in "Sorry, but no, I can't do that." wasn't a courtesy word? Asking you do understand why he couldn't do it wasn't right? Just to much ask?

Look how you are flying off the handle now to some easy statements. How about a little courtesy for those that simple disagree the simple statement was not rude?

OMG...YOU and ADAM are the ONLY ones that took it as being rude! When everyone else disagrees with your opinion, don't you think there's a possibility that YOU are the one with the problem? How many times did your Mama smack you because you wouldn't take "NO" for an answer the first time you were told?
Rich POLITELY explained to you the reason he couldn't do it, but you couldn't drop it. YOU STILL CAN'T SEEM TO DROP IT even though you are a tad bit behind the goings-on in this thread...:ack2:
We are HAPPY that we are not worthy of your time...:bow01: ... :rofl:

He already explained how it worked. You asked for him to make an exception for you. Do you not get how that is rude? Do you not understand that your sense of entitlement and plea to have him bend the rules for you was ridiculous, unprofessional and inappropriate?
 
and to think the seller posted on this thread to standup for her custermor who to me seem to be more rude then anyone posting on this topic. :shrug01:
 
customer* sorry rushing forgot to hit spell check tring to get dinner done daughter has a dance competition tonight.
 
"I don't think you need to think too hard about it to realize why I can't." What does he take me for a dumb *ss.

Well at the time, no I didn't think you were a dumbass at all. But now, thanks to new evidence you have provided here........ :rolleyes:

Bet you a dollar to a donut your reply to me would have been "Why?" Probably followed by a lot of prattle about why you believe I should make an exception in your case. I've been there before with others......

So it's OK for you to be rude and unprofessional, yet you expect others to not do as you do, but instead do as you say? Think about THAT one a bit, please.....

Perhaps a lot of people ARE rude to you, and I'll bet it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.....
 
I wouldn't normally dignify this kind of thread with a response, but I thought I'd point something out:

Dude could have made a positive BOI thread if he wanted to leave good feedback for the seller.

Hopefully that wasn't already said... didn't feel like reading past the first page XD Some people are so frickin sensitive. "if you don't praise me enough, you must be insulting me!"
 
Rich, you're flypaper for freaks. I feel for you, I have that same problem.

For the OP, please.. please... look me up at a show. I'll show you what "rude" is, compared to the very very mild reply that even including "Sorry".
You're behaving like a spoiled 5 year old, stomping his feet and screaming because he didn't get his way.
I've been ruder than Rich has to people I actually like. That's a really small number of people.. because there's too many folks out there like you and your oh-so-cool gecko seller who has the same immature issues that you do.
Whack-a-doodles.... they're everywhere...
 
Here it goooeeeesss....

If somebody posts absolute shit about you with no foundation in reality on the BOI, is it then not EXACTLY what I am supposed to do to post point by point FACTS to reinforce what I am saying and disprove what they are saying????
I aologize if I missed something in your post. I took some cold meds again last night.... keep gettin sick.

Sure, sometimes when I'm reading the BOI I disagree with the way "the pack" handles things, but it seems like 98% of the time, the pack ends up being right.
Agreed.

I take on a subject that I know will be unpopular because I know most people will side with the site regardless of what the issue.
Ok.. first off, people will side with the nicer, more trsutworthy, and fair person. In this case, it is the site.
Second... from what I've seen, rich will give you all the cookies you want, just don't stick your hand in the cookie jar. What I mean by this is Rich gives people the benefit of a doubt as well as multiple second chances, but it is just not smart, no matter what site you are on, to attack the moderators.

I do not use your site any longer
And what are yu doing in that post?.... isn't that using the site? Or do you just post and not use any of the other features of this site?

You know what F*** all you guys! People don't have any common curtisity anywhere anymore, just rude *ss people eveywhere you go. I'm not whinning about it just think people have the right to know how rude WebSlave was. Very uncalled for smart*ss. You guys are not worthy of anymore of my time.
Ok, so saying :censored: all you guys is curtious? As well ass smart:censored:? And if we are not worthy of your time, then why are you spending your time putting up a post saying ":censored: you you're not worhty of my time?"

It appears to me that this thread was started out of someone taking a comment the wrong way, getting pissed, and leading into the few people who have a personal vendetta against the mods and this site using the opportunity to attack them.

Really, to the original OP, you could/should have just posted a good guy thread or supported the site you met the seller you had such a good transaction with and become a paid member to leave the rating... and stop the name calling and stuff, it's just childish. To the seller, you have succeeded in maing yourself look bad. To Rich, I feel so bad for you that you have to deal with this kind of crap so often. To the other mods, great job and please keep it up.

I think this is what he means. He must have realized that he can't post anything but was asking if you can. Sound simple to me.

Don't know what this post (above) is in response to but ...

That line was from Rich to Double D.
Personally, I find nothing offensive, about that line, and ....
No, it doesn't take much thought to realize why Rich could not (or would not want to) post this other person's positive trader feedback/rating:
#1 It would be breaking a rule (why would this person deserve a breaking, of a rule, over anyone else .. or despite others who do follow the rules/guidelines and even pay $).
#2 Rich does not know this person.
#3 It was not Rich's transaction and, even so, Rich had no, actual, first hand knowledge (he was not involved).
#4 It would almost seem an endorsement, from Rich (or Fauna), if he were to post it (why would Rich want to place himself in that position <rhetorical ?> ... especially considering reasons #2 & #3).

After being told that "only paid members can utilize the trader ratings feedback", Double D should have just left it, at that, because it was pretty straight forward and self explanatory.
Instead, Double D seemed to want some special privilege, of being exempt from that rule, and have Rich (or one of the moderators) post for him ... so wrote back, to Rich, with that request.
Rich's reply, to such a request, was calm and pretty straightforward (because, truly, a person should realize why Rich couldn't/wouldn't post it ... even more so after an explanation, that only paid members can utilize the trader ratings feedback, was given).
Double D chose to be offended when ~his~ being offended was not warranted.

As others have pointed out, Double D could have just posted a "Good Guy" thread, about the person he did business with, (he had/has that ability) but chose not to. Instead, he took the time to post an unwarranted, and lame, "bad Guy" thread about Rich. Boggles the mind.:rolleyes:

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. :wavey: (because I don't think you can take you head going in any further then is already is)
 
I really think this guy has some nerve participating in the classifieds in his first post and trying to tear up the site in his second. What's the matter, mommy didn't let you buy that pastel you were admiring?
