This MAY sound rude but Chica, listen up!

Thank you Marla. That person was really getting on my nerves. I feel so sorry for the poor snake. Not to mention the guinea pig, if he was ignorant enough to but them in the same box.

Don't let a few asshats ruin trolls and their absolute coolness.

Look how innocent that face is.

Hey that troll looks my friend's Grandma Katz :)

That's too funny, Godfather. I remember when those things were really popular. Cute and ugly at the same time.

Just to clarify for everyone, we don't ban people for being annoying. Members are watched pretty closely and warned twice before they are banned (the 3 strikes and you're out rule) unless the offense is really severe. For those of you who are questioning whether or not the person in question was a troll because he seemed to ask legitimate questions, that's exactly what a troll would do unless they were trying to get banned quickly, which isn't much fun. It's much more fun to stick around a while and see how much trouble you can stir up.

You're welcome. We don't want to ban anyone unnecessarily, but we don't want trolls ruining the experience for the rest of us either. If any members see a post that looks trollish, we'd appreciate their reporting it to a mod or admin.

I have been saying Chica was a troll since her 3rd or 4th post.........

Yes, you have. But we wanted to make sure it was a clear-cut case and not just someone asking those questions out of genuine ignorance.

I hope to GOD that he was not referring to popping a female snakes cherry with his finger in one post.

actually he was, he sent me a few PM's asking about it. I told him i didnt have a clue about sexing snakes exept to go to the vet and have it probed, i told him there was no way he could do it with his finger.

Yeah I understand about making sure the user isn't just a complete whackjob and hopefully save a snake somewhere. Its definitely a very blurred line, I'm glad you mods are here and take the time to sort this stuff out. The site wouldn't be what it is w/o you all.
