• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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.

Why are there so many scammers in the classifieds???

Why do you think the problem is with the ad, and not that you have your email address in your signature where scammers can harvest it when you express interest in a critter for sale?

WHY IS THERE A AD THAT IS A SCAM ON THIS SITE , THIS SITE IS NOTHING BUT SCAMS IT USE TO BE SOMETHING!!!!!
 
THE ADS AREN'T A SCAM.

YOU ARE LITERALLY BEGGING SCAMMERS AND BOTS BY HAVING YOUR EMAIL IN YOUR SIGNATURE.

If you use the PM functions, you won't get targeted. Internet 101.

I am really, really sorry that you want to live in a world that is chock full of rubber baby buggy bumpers to keep you safe and and protected from poor choices. But unfortunately, it is not.

You need to do your own due diligence in choosing who to do business with and stop demanding that others do that work for you. I offer free ads here. Think about that for a moment. ***FREE***. And for this free service, you want ME to spend all my time trying to make YOUR choices safe for YOU? Also for ***FREE***? You all start paying for $1,000 a pop memberships, and maybe I will consider taking on that job. Otherwise, well, sorry about that.

Trust me, my time is just as valuable to me as your hoped for safety is valuable to you. Maybe even more so considering my age. I would like to spend my remaining years doing exactly what I WANT to do, not what someone else wants me to do for them.
