Look, I’m just gonna add that there are plenty of other people out there pushing specific schools way harder than even Jeffrey Morales4 does. My problem isn't that we shouldn't punish that kind of crap—it's that whenever someone actually calls them out on it, the complaint just mysteriously vanishes into thin air without anyone ever explaining what happened.
Look, here’s the deal: your personal take on dog docking is a complete and total tangent. It’s totally off-topic because it doesn't even touch the actual points I brought up in my complaint.
Look, in this specific thread, people who actually run pet training schools are straight-up advertising their services, and you can see all the links to their businesses right there in their signatures. So, after I called them out for breaking the forum rules, my damn post gets nuked. Then, over in another thread about dog training, one of the moderators is basically funneling people with questions toward a specific member via private message because she works at that exact same school! And when someone brings up a different school or training method that doesn't match the "official" ads, she just starts belittling and trashing them. Total bias.
In this thread, whenever anyone asks about dog food, users are constantly being told to hit up other members through private messages to buy food at "discounted" prices. If you just glance through the posts, it’s incredibly obvious that these people are contacting folks who work in the pet food industry or used to sell it themselves. The moderators are all over this thread and they definitely know the black market sales are happening right under their noses using these topics. I even tried to warn them about the illegal selling happening right in the thread, too.
Let me get this straight right off the bat: the reason I'm filing this report is because of the blatant hypocrisy. They are targeting a group of people who don't agree with them and trying to force some new rule on us by hiding behind the Law. It’s ridiculous. Even though I think they’re just making up whatever they want regarding rules about photos of purchased dogs—which has absolutely zero basis in actual Law—the moderators themselves claimed they wouldn't be accomplices to anyone breaking the rules or the Law. So, here I am, pointing out the massive irregularities in how this sub-forum is being run while they just turn a blind eye to certain people and constantly go after everyone else.
Look, guys,
I’m jumping in here because I need to call out the constant rule-breaking happening right under our noses. Specifically, the moderators in the Pets subforum are basically running a free pass for smuggling and shady advertising.
In several different threads, owners and employees from various dog training academies are straight-up recruiting new clients. They’re hiding behind these official-looking notices claiming that the mods actually tolerate—and even suggest—that users with issues reach out to these specific instructors. Is this because they’re buddies? Or is there some kickback money involved? Honestly, I don't care, but if management isn't aware of this blatant favoritism, then this is exactly where it needs to be flagged.
On top of that, there’s literal black-market pet food sales going on in certain threads, and the mods are just letting it slide. It’s pretty funny how the same names keep popping up in both the training ads and the illegal sales. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe not. Who knows.
If the whole policy of this site is to let this kind of stuff fly, then just ignore this post. But personally, I doubt the FBI would be nearly as chill about unauthorized black-market sales.
Later,
