I can't believe they would treat someone knew like they have you. I wonder what they have in store for me? LOL I hope they are a little nicer to me than they have been you. Of course they already have their hand out for money. Wanting me to pay to see the truth of why they are one your butt so hard. If it was the Expo thread. I saw that earlier. They didn't delelte it till I mentioned something on this thread. So something ain't exactly up to snuff.
Maybe you should quit trying to stir up trouble.
There isn't any big Conspiracy here.
There is a rule. You cannot offer animals for sale unless you are a contributing member, period.
If one isn't a member, and finds out they can't post in the For Sale section, they may think they can get around the rule by posting pics in the photo section and saying "Hey, BTW, this snake is for sale!" Or by saying, "Hey, I'll be at Repticon, stop by and see if I have anything you want! I'll have a booth there!"
Now I don't believe Mr. Lavender intentionally broke the rule. But some people do, and that is why there is an infraction system in place, to deter people from doing so.
So Rich has his hand out for money. How many thousands of dollars do you think it takes to run this site? The storage required is massive. We are allowed to post UNLIMITED photographs. Storing them takes a ton of space. Rich has to PAY someone to handle the server issues. No one is REQUIRED to become a contributing member. If you want to sell animals here without becoming a member you are free to purchase advertising for the monumental cost of 50 cents a day. But for those of us that would LIKE to support this site that we love and call home, $25/year buys some perks. And one of those perks is free For Sale ads.
Way to make a great first impression...
