Referals?

I think that adding something like BOI on fauna would be a bad idea. This site has more to do with care and concerns of keeping and breeding herps. Its a site where anyone can come and ask questions because of all the caring and friendly members here that are in herps not for the money, but for the love and passion of the hobby. A BOI would just add drama, something a site as friendly as this one doesn't need. I think that having a site like this around where a new person realizes that they won't get called stupid or flamed for asking a question where the answer may be a click away is a great idea and makes more people comfortable with and relaxed here. Just my oppinion on it all. Hope this makes sense

I don't think anyone mentioned turning this site into Fauna or adding a BOI. I was specifically referring to Trader Ratings.

AHHHH! I'm sorry for causing such a debate! But, what if we could only give positive ratings NOT NEGATIVE! This way if the person you chose to deal with doesn't have any positive ratings you know you may or may not be dealing with a reputable(or even experience) dealer/buyer. It would just help the noobs like myself. I'm into this as a hobby, but also I will look to this site when ready to purchase my next reptile. I rather go from a reputable person, rather then just from a website online, just a feeling of being secure with the quality of animal and the honesty of the seller!

What would stop people from having their buddies sign up to give them the positive ratings? :confuzd:

Hey debate is awesome. It can't hurt, so go ahead and discuss away!! :gj:

Maybe there could be some sort of admin controls. Just a thought!

Of course it's not bad - the efforts show I think.

But keep in mind NO ONE here on staff gets paid for this - and most do it ON TOP of their regular jobs and family commitments.

I realize that no one gets paid and I think everyone here believes the mods and admins do an awesome job, but we are discussing something that might benefit the site. So by implying that its too much to ask makes it seems as if everyone is overwhelmed.
