Whats up?

UnKnown · 10-17-04, 07:21 PM

For some reason I have got banned 3 times, each time I had made a new user name. I was not informed I had done a thing wrong or warned. I only know of one morning I posted a message about rats and there babys in general discussion and it got removed, so I figure thats why I got banned, I would not have complained if I was notified that I would be abnned for a couple days to a month, but I wasn't.

Alien Regalis, is now informed and I PM'ed a couple of the moderators but they didn't replie, I know this will get removed and I will be banned but I know some people will read this and hopefully e-mail me, and give me there opinion, tarentolas@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Kevin McRae

I would appreciate if no mods where to delete this, and actually explain why he was banned.

It's both good for him and for us, so that we know what NOT to do, and he knows what he may or may not have done wrong.

...No disrespect meant to anyone...

Thank you,

Agreed, I need to know, they should tell us what we did wrong..if anything

I will assume that there was a good reason for you being banned(no offence). You state that you don't understand why. An explanation is indicated and I hope that you get one.

UnKnown · 10-17-04, 07:49 PM

I don't think so, I KNOW I didn't do any thing wrong...

UnKnown · 10-17-04, 09:19 PM

Also, I don't get banned as long as I don't post in the sand boa forum.

CamHanna · 10-17-04, 09:44 PM

I'm kind of curious aswell....

First of all, it's CLEARLY stated in the rules of the site that if you get three strikes, you'll be banned..

I can't tell you why you were banned unless you tell me what your name was that was infact banned.. Also, if you're banned and make another name and we find the new name, we will ban it WITHOUT warning.. So, let us know the name you had banned and i'll tell you why you were banned..

As stated in the forum rules at the top of the forum..

Ignorance is no excuse! Failure to make an effort to understand and adhere to the rules will result in a ban. A maximum of 3 strikes will be tolerated (3 for minor offenses, as little as 1 for more severe).

ladyluck was banned, good job Matt!

Matt_K · 10-18-04, 01:24 PM

Kevin, You were warned on Sept7/04 by Linds, you were also warned on Sept 20/04 by Trevor for posting a wanted ad for dogs in the General Discussion and your last offence was on Oct 14/04.. Three strikes, you become banned..

Again, making new names solves nothing, we'll ban them as we find them.. I'll let you read this thread and get your answers before anything further happens.. If you continue to make new names, we'll just ban your IP..

Hello Matt K

LOL j/p

Personally,I think it's kind of stupid that you get in $#!+ for posting about animals other than reptiles.. I think we need a category in the classifieds for non-herp related items.. I definately think that getting one strike taken off for posting about dogs isn't that fair.. I myself know of very few good and popular sites to post other animals... My first thought would have also been to post on here seeing as you can get so many people interested. Just my opinion..

Snakers: the site is called ssnakess.com not aanimalss.com. My opinion is that there is too much non-herp related content allowed on this site as it is.

This forum is called ssnakess for a reason. You want to talk about dogs i'm sure there are many forums out on the net for one to post on.

The rules on this site are few and simple, and far less than most sites out there. I don't understand why so many people have so many problems... and if it is such a big deal... why stay around to complain about it??? Is it the *free* photo account? Or is it the *free* membership? Is it the *free* classifieds? Or maybe all the wonderful advice? Maybe all the countless hours of -volunteer- work (yeah that's right, we don't get paid for all our time spent here) or abuse the mods take?

snakers55,
You don't get a strike for posting about other animals, as anyone can clearly see in the General Discussion, however, you do get a strike for going against the rules re: no advertising in discussion forums re: no advertising of non-reptile related animals/items in the classifieds. These rules are hardly unfair. This is a reptile site (which many people seem to lose focus of from time to time), not a general pet site, there are many other pet sites that offer classifieds for other animals. You woudln't go posting reptiles for sale on a cat site, would you?

So basically what you are saying, is that because not everyone is familiar with all the sites and resources out there, we should cater to that, and anything otherwise is unfair? This site offers much more than most sites out there, yet it's just never enough...
