Isn't that like a*huge* contradiction? Getting banned for posting about other animals and there's like page after page after page of responses about Pitbulls......???
Just an observation.

Agreed, why is there posting about Pit bulls?
There dogs too....I think I should at least be e-mail when I have been banned.
And I don't think the ban should be LIFETIME!

There was a thread that is still going on about the pitbull ban where a great many members participated in (myself included).
Many non-herp topics are discussed in the forum. I agree with Mykee about the overabundance of nonherp material. I choose however to ignore any content that doesn't suit me in the threads.
I don't bother with spider topics for instance since they don't have much appeal to me but I don't think any less of those who do like them. That is certainly nonherp related but no one has mentioned having distaste for it. On any given day you can find fresh threads on nonherp topics but for the most part that is taken in stride.
The forum exists for discussion and often in discussion there is disagreement. I hope that this site remains a place where someone can express themselves and ideas without fear of reprisals.

No contradiction at all. Unrelated topics are permitted in the General Discussion (within reason). That is part of the reason the GD is here, it is to allow a window in to all of our lives outside the reptile world, as we find it helps to contribute to the overall community vibe. Regardless, animal or not, there is no advertising allowed in the GD. And simply because we offer a small place for discussing things outside of reptiles, does not make this a general site of sorts, it is still a reptile site.

And Kevin,
Why the stink? The rules are few and simple, and it is clearly stated that if they are not followed for any reason, you will be banned. You have made the choice to either not aquaint yourself with them, or ignore them, and as a result were banned. Case closed, the fat lady sings, the end. What is so hard to understand about that?

You made THREE offenses... we keep records, as Matt ALREADY posted on the previous page. You were warned by both myself and Trevor.

There is a forum for rats, rabbits, etc. Had you looked around the forums, or looked over the rules and HOWTO guide, you would've known that, and you have posted in the wrong forum before, and were sent a pm that you had done so and recommended you check out the HOWTO Forum so that you didn't make the same mistake, but you chose to ignore that recommendation as well. But hey... not your fault, right?

I think this is being taken way to seriously. I understand that he never followed a rule, But mistakes can be made and should be forgiven, Its not like he was making threats or making this place not suitable for younger audiences, But come on people he posted in the wrong forum, he didnt commit murder. I wouldnt have known, I didnt know that rule exsisted. I dont disagree with banning him for a week or mabey even 2, but to go to the extent of banning him for ever and then erasing his name evey time he joins is a bit to extreme and in my oppinon taking your job way to seriously, no disrespect to any one, Im glad that this site is here to help, i just find it comical

We didn't crack down on the rules and didn't take enough seriously, and you obviously weren't around to see what happened to the site. We have been forced to take a zero tolerance approach with the site. You make the claim that you didn't even know the rule existed either? Well as has been clearly stated, 'ignorance is no excuse', it is everyone's responsibility as a member of the community to become aquainted with the rules, and in the event they do not, they still receive ample warning, and direction to do so, therefore that excuse cannot be even remotely valid. I don't even know how this can be debated, as the rules are so black and white, and we still give warnings and direction, they leave no room for such...

Kevin,
If you were so concerned with your appearance, you would have followed my advice to aquaint yourself with the rules and guidelines, and you ignored that. I don't know what else there is to say.

ok, I understand that you should be familliar with rules and regulations ... but do you find it a bit extreme to ban some 1 like that, put your self in the shoes of the person who is getting banned for a silly reason. We all love this site very much, i cant imagine some 1 banning me not to acesss to help. I find it hard to belive that its happening for a reason as such. honestily, do you belive this reasonable. I know im fighting to loose here, im just trying to let you know, because comming from some one like me who could be banned at any time for soemthing as outrageous as this its just hard to understand why something like that would be taken as such an extreme, but where you are a mod and cant be banned, i guess you forgot on how people can make a mistake from time to time, Its not that im only taking the side of the person who is getting banned, but if some 1 could be banned for this, then some respected person on this froum who tends to give alot of information to people who need it could also be banned for a comical reason, if we keep banning people theres not going to be much of a community will it?,
i would just hate to see this place be turned into Alcatraz
once again no disrespect to ANYONE, just standing up for a reason that i feel should be debated
