FAUNA

[JordanAng420]

So anything goes, huh? Well I must express my frusteration. I HATE FAUNA. I hate all the ignorant assholes that think they own the place. I hate the fact that you can't post a god damn thing without getting your ass beaten if you're a 'newbie'. I hate all the scammers and the motherfuckers that are conciously selling sick snakes, geckos and other reptiles.

My last post went as follows:
Some asshole posted a classified ad about selling a male Enchi. This person also has a very sick pied (or het for pied, I don't fucking know or care) in the same collection...which he refuses veterinary care for. So now, several people have inquired about this male Enchi...and so here's how the conversation went:

Potential Buyer #1: "Has the enchi been around the pied and whats the least shipped"

Seller Asshole: "420. Is that ok?"

Potential Buyer #2: "how big is he ?"

Seller Asshole: Never answered!

Me (JordanAng420): Quoted- "Has the enchi been around the pied" I think for the sake of the potential buyer you should answer this question...truthfully. It's the right thing to do.

Seller Asshole: "You're right.
But would you let your healthy snake hang out with your sick snake? Anyone should understand when I say he is pergectly healthy and that I guarantee it. Why must things be more complicated with 3 pages about a sick pied when this is an ad for an Enchi? Ask yourself. "

Douchebag asshole that came out of nowhere: "He has a good point, you already know this story. If you don't want to buy his snake then shut up! Snakes get sick, I would not sell one that is sick but he did tell you it was sick so just get a life"

Two more posts were posted, basically telling Mr. Douchebag to fuck off & that I had a valid question. Which prompted response #2.

Douche: OK i'm going to say one more thing in this thread, If you are not looking to buy one of his snakes you should quit wasting peoples time! If you have a problem and want to talk crap to them, then pm them. You should also quarintine all new snake before entering them into a collection, still he said it was sick if you don't want to buy it then just keep on looking(simple)!

So I took him up on his offer. I sent him a PM:
"You want a private message? Ask and ye shall receive. I KNOW snakes get sick, trust me. I'm the one you bring them to when they do. And most of the time retards like him wait until the snake is dead/dying before I get to see it. People that KNOWINGLY sell sick snakes should not be breeding or selling. Period. I don't care if it was disclosed beforehand that the snake is sick...it's unethical. There has been NO concern for the well being of this snake, or the others, or ANYONE else's collection for that matter. What happens if the Enchi comes down with IBD, respiratory disease, Paramyxovirus... after it's sold...do you even know what that is????

Who the hell are you to talk to me in that manner? What if I WAS inquiring about buying the snake? After his response, and yours I sure as hell wouldn't do business with either of you.

And one more thing...you don't need to go around police-ing the boards...we have moderators for that."

I was pretty damn proud of myself. :main_yes: So I think I will be cancelling my subscription to this forum. Nothing but drama comes out of it.

Hey Maia, tell us how you really feel. Don't sugar-coat it. :main_laugh:

Seriously though, that place is a HUGE waste of time. You're better off without Fauna, trust me.

Yeah, fuck 'em. I don't like dealing with random assholes and their bull shit; and honestly, this is the only forum where I felt didn't have that problem. I only use fauna for two things, posting ads and originally getting our good guy certification.. I don't really post anywhere else besides here

Fauna USED to be a great website, and the BOI was absolutely the BEST resource on the internet for obtaining information on someone you were considering doing business with, as well as giving kudos to good people and flushing out bad people. Unfortunately, it has turned into a huge pissing ring by a handful of Rich's minions with a wolf-pack mentality. It's really a shame, because the BOI could be a very useful tool for the community.

LOL, Rich actually banned me and my IP address simply for posting the truth about why "GeckoForums.net" cannot even be mentioned over on Fauna... it's filtered out so you can only see asteriks ***** (kinda like the name '*****' here on GF).

Too funny, but he actually sent me a bill for $250 to renew my Benefactor Contributor Membership a few months ago! I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair. Then I sent him an email saying, "You've GOT to be kidding! Why on earth would I send you $250 to support your website when I can't even go there anymore? If anything, you owe ME a prorated refund for the portion of the last year since you booted me!" Well, I guess he didn't find the humorous irony, and told me I was just a 'nobody' and he wanted nothing to do with me any more. What a joke!
