i agree wit people its anoying but on the other hand i can understand it and why people do it. i may have to if this dont get sorted out and i may have to sell everything and its down to no fault on my part in anyway and i already looking at/for mayb homes for my pet as i dont want them to go to just any1 and if have a choice i hoping it dont come down to it but i know its a possablity as i mayb made homeless and i dont want to have to rush or just dump them with anyone

its a forum at end of day and people have reasons for posting the way they do for woteva reasons and u cant keep just adding rules cos its anoying or harder work

but i do think members must have a location stated as its the 1 thing that is needed. prices and amount availble change

What annoys me is all the "wanted threads" and most of them are by 1 person at the moment

"desperately need" "wanted" for every different morph Gecko they want.

I think you should only be allowed 1 wanted thread.

The for sale threads i can understand sellers listing different animals in a new seperate thread and that doesnt bother me as long as all the relevant info is on there (piccies, sexes, collection/delivery, price, age etc etc)

Problem is, when someone is flagrantly ignoring the rules that are there (repeated bumping, duplicate threads) I deliberately don't read their posts, so these tactics are actually counterproductive. Most people on here are intelligent enough to be able to scroll down a page (though granted, there may be some exceptions) and, if a thread is clearly titled with correct information, will find it and respond if interested.

Not just gecko morphs though....everything from cresties to chameleons (and several comments from sellers complaining that they've had to put an animal back up for sale because this has let them down in the end anyway).

I don't see a problem with the classifieds, if you don't like the way a ad has been written/no photo/no price, then move on to the next one. Sellers loss!

The snake classified does move very quick but then alot of people check it regularly and check the 2nd and 3rd pages because it moves so quick!

Constant bumping is annoying but that is being moderated, and if you see a thread being constantly bumped or "PM's replied" then hit the report button.

I don't suppose everyone will be happy no matter what rules are put in place
Having said that, if youre looking for something in particular there is always the search mode, and if youre after it you will ask for a pic or price i suppose
