Thank you everyone for taking time to reply. I think some kind of mentoring program is a great idea!!! I would be willing to buddy up with a new breeder to share what I've learned. I think unless you have a friend already breeding, it's easy to get lost and not be sure what groups can get you any help. I've seen a lot of new people asking for help and advice in like market groups and whatnot and their requests are usually unheard and eaten by spam. And many people who wander into a market, see a kitty and think "oh this is so cute, I'll buy one" soon get a wake up call when the cat gets hungry etc. Maybe if we put our heads together we can improve things and help prevent that. Again, thanks for taking time to read and reply

I have good internet but maybe not the the best computer, so in the big markets, I am laggy at best. Those auto group joiner things can easily crash me or freeze me then crash me lol. And they seem to be placed in areas that one must cross, so hard to avoid getting hit by them. I wish that the markets would place easily visible signs by bid boards etc to join their respective groups and leave it at that.
This X1000.
If I'm in a particular market, there's a good chance (OK, there's almost a 100 percent chance) that I'm already part of the dang group. I think there are only one or two I haven't signed up for (and I'm getting around to it ).
Just recently, I got "froze" in a spot in one of the markets and bombarded by group join requests. While dealing with them, I accidentally rejected a notecard from someone (whom I had just asked for information from!) It was embarrassing to have to ask for it again. Muting the bot that sends out the requests SHOULD have stopped them, but in fact makes ABSOLUTELY no difference.
I am in most of them as well, and even with my tag active, I still get spammed repeatedly. At some places, makes looking at bid boards or love shacks really hard for me
Time is money, friend
