Okay. Shortly after a verbal barrage attacking other members, this (according to you) “Unknown” poster said this:
You responded, first…
Then…quite warmly…
Now…note that you addressed the “Unknown” poster as “Ray”.
You knew him as “Ray” to offer him money, but did not know it was “Ray” to delete the posts he had previously made as a banned ex-member attacking NACHI members with words like…
Jim,
I will answer this via ESOP E-mail.
WORTH REPEATING!

Many of us are DISGUSTED that non members and especially EXPELLED members are having a field day on our message board!:twisted:
There are many “Professional” Home inspector associations and NACHI is the only one with a WEAK & INEFFECTIVE “IT Department” that does not have the KNOWLEDGE or the guts to stop the DAILY and continual HACKING by Raymond Wand and others of his ilk!
Try to “hack” the ASHI message board and see what happens!

And that’s the problem alot of people wants fixed. They want some kind of indentification or approval system set up so not just anyone can post to our board. As for hacking your right. You need to break into one’s server’s and mess with code to do that. I think they meant they want the attacks to stop regardless who it’s from. To be honest with you and I’m not sure if you noticed yet but since the battle I fought along with some others people have calmed down alot. It’s actually quite nice and pieceful in here at the moment lol :).

NICK,
YOU HAVE MAIL!:twisted:
I don’t mind that everyone in the whole world has free and open access to a lot of this board. I’ve learned a TON of stuff from non-members. I just think it makes good sense to make them register and follow some basic rules or they can be kicked out. Not that big of a deal.
My question was asked because, a rule is pointless unless there is a way to enforce it. How can you tell if someone is using more than one log in account if you don’t know who the heck they are. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but that just seems kind of stupid to me. :roll:
I don’t mind either Mark. I’m with you anyone can post just verify who’s signing up. That way they can’t create multiple ghost accounts. It’s easy to do. The problem is someone has to take time to verify these people and that’s what I think NACHI doesn’t want anything to do with. Time consuming.
Bill
No one has to verify anything. The sign in process would create a database. The info is a record in the database. When a person signs in, that name is checked against other names/info that is already there. And individual would have to use a credit card to confirm his/her identity.
Only time a person has to interact is if an individual is banned. Then that info would be put into a separate file, and used to reject future attempts.
Yes it appears that you are Nick…
It can be controlled. Without being “policed”.
The same type of message board design.

Great idea!!
Yes they are very good to lol. I pushed the envelope and signed up with stlhomeinspector and they was on my tail within 48 hrs lol. Guess I should change it today

This message board is one of the cleanest message boards on the internet. It auto deletes foul language. Then we have a staffer who looks for and removes offensive posts. Then we have a policy whereby we immediately remove any offensive post that anyone alerts us to.
Considering there are over 30,000 threads and hundreds of thousands of posts, this message board is super clean.
Most of the posts we’ve had to remove were made by members, so having the credit card numbers of non-members wouldn’t prevent members from making these offensive posts. We would still have to do what we do now and remove them by hand to keep the InterNACHI message board one of the cleanest on the internet.
Nick, with all due respect to the efforts that are currently in place, this message board is not one of the best, but one of the worst. Most have policies in place that are strictly enforced (members and non-members alike). As a matter of fact, this is the only one that I’ve visited that just obscures foul language. Most delete the posts and exile the poster.
As to posts being offensive, there’s no law or rule that guarantees not being offended. People are offended all the time. Someone is going to be offended by what you just posted, and someone will be offended by my post here. That’s just life.
I think what most of us want taken care of are the: attacks, name calling, foul language, graphic/pornographic language, general un-professional comments etc. Even when they are coming from non-members, or exiled members under new names.
