Chad Fabry Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 HomeForum Index SearchSearch NACHI Forum Index Critical Information You have been banned from this forum Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information --------------------------------------------- So much for the unmoderated board. NACHI's taken a great deal of its board to members only. They've pretty much left just technical visible. I guess they figure if they eliminate the contentious threads their image will improve. ------------------------------------------------- Should Chad be Banned? Yes 37% 37% [ 28 ] No 62% 62% [ 46 ] Total Votes : 74 ------------------------------------------------ The poll is from the members only section, I think the steering comittee added wrong. To be honest, I thank God that I was banned. Jeff Remas was too. They made it so we can't even view the board and that'll go a long way toward curing my compulsion to point out the irregularities that so frequently pop up over there.

hausdok Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi Chad, Sorry to hear about it, but their loss is our gain. Keep asking hard questions, it's what helps to keep people honest. Not just in this profession, in any profession. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Well if its any consolation you and Jeff have at least shut down one section of their website that baited many new inspectors into Nicks club. Now how is Nick going to spread his propaganda? This should be fun to see and worth the price of admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qhinspect Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 When does ASHI plan on opening the doors to its chat room for others to see what is going on in its organization? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Well, Chad, You did ask some ?? that the steering group and ed can not and will not answer. And by the way the only time the polls are used is when they are what the SC wants. If they dont want then polls are useless says most of the SC members. Its a sad day. Just dont know if its for you or them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 What the heck does ASHI have to do with this? Please don't bring the the drivel here. Jeff and I were booted for asking questions... nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Okay, Before this thread goes somewhere where it doesn't need to go, it is NACHI's board and they have a right to run it the way they want - the same way I run this board the way that I want. As does ASHI, AII, NAHI and CREIA, all of whom have private forums for their members. Here on TIJ, I have a private forum for inspectors from Washington State to be able to talk about issues involving inspectors here in Washington. I don't make that public, because I think the issues being discussed there need to be discussed amongst those that it will affect - not the entire HI profession. I need to point out that I exhorted Nick & Company for quite a while to clean up the publicly accessible areas of the NACHI board, because I felt that all of the contentiousness there and the muckracking, being open to the public, gives the public a poor impression of all home inspectors. I see nothing wrong with an organization keeping that kind of stuff out of the public eye. Nobody wants to read that kind of crap anyway, except for the people that are engaged in it. That's the primary reason that I use the delete key here and insist on folks being polite. It's too bad that Chad and Jeff got booted from that board for asking forthright questions, but it's done and that should be the end of it. They've lost the input of a couple of pretty bright fellows and that was our gain. That's the long and the short of it, and there is no need for this to turn into another NACHI vs. ASHI thread. Agreed? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Chad, Just so you know, on the question of: "Should Chad be banned?" I voted "No" Banning you seemed harsh to me, but frankly, you did earn yourself a proper caning -Singapore Style. It's another of life's sad ironies that if that were one of the poll options, you might still be able to drink at the NACHI fountain of knowledge. Damn those pesky pollsters, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Thanks for the support Jim, but for the record I've seen those canings and I'd prefer being banned. I do appreciate the thought though. Friends like you are hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Remas Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Everything happens for a reason and change has been taking place on the NACHI board to Nickifor's dismay. This is not what he wanted and it is happening anyway. I suppose it is just too bad for him but it could not have happened to a more deserving person. Yesterday was a good day.

Brian G Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I like moderated boards, there are good reasons to maintain civility where a group is involved. Sometimes rather undesireable types wander in and foul it up for the rest, simply because they want to or lack the capacity to do better. We've seen it happen here, and I'm still happy with the moderation and banning that resulted. Banning someone for asking painful questions without getting ugly is a different question. I suppose it depends partly on where one is viewing from, as to whether the asker is be disruptive or merely seeking answers. If I were on the committee I would've banned Chad a long time ago, for one or the other. [] Brian G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baird Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 To quote Gil Scott Heron: "The revolution will not be televised, not be televised, not be televised. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution, ladies and gentlemen, will be real!" I don't know what violation Mr. Fabry committed, but unless it's bad taste or vulgarity, I say let him be heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Your time can be better spent now guys. Why try to fix something that no one wants fixed. Just expose it to the light of day and let it wither on the vine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Well I just clicked over to Nicks club and they have brought all of the old forums back to the public side. It seems that it cut down on the number of hits they were having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Well they added them back but non members can not make comments. So Nick can spout all of the chest pounding self serving fodder he wants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 For what it's worth: Every time one of us clicks on their web site it heightens their web identitiy and search engine placement, which some equate to credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 HMMMMM, my virus scan sent me alerts today about 2 intercepted and blocked emails with virus attached sent to me from NACHI.org Very interesting indeed. Toro Nicki, Toro![:-splat] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
