I posted in this section so it does not get deleted if someone mentions a non members name, where they cannot respond according to Nick's rules. I put forth the idea, because I try to fix the problem and not the blame. I hear a lot of critics complaining, yet they have no solutions. It would solve the problem that brought up moderation in the first place. The Nachi bashers would be denied the ability to make us look bad, to the public, but it would allow the non members who are helpful to continue to post. Judging by the replies so far, no one really wants to solve the problem, because it might deprive them of the means to gripe. The ignore solution has been tried and failed, wand and others have proved that over and over.

Ken....I'm curious.

Which of these two things, in your opinion, "makes iNACHI look bad":

1. The fact that the association cannot verify or validate who has actually fulfilled its membership requirements...yet boasts of having 6,000 members.

2. Posting it.

How do you see this?

It is hard to see past your hate and vindictiveness James, you can cry that you're only doing this to help Inachi, till you're blue in the face, but most people know better. You are making wand look good. This is sad to watch!

BTW James, your name did not even come up in my mind, when I thought of this, it is directed at the nasty Canadians. After Nick gave in to your forum blackmail, I figure we are stuck with your rantings no matter what.

The bashers Brian, as in wand and Mc Niesh. The key word was Nasty. Sorry, I have a bad habit of expecting people to know what I mean. Ken

It's still not resolved, Ken.

Do you want to know how bad it REALLY is?

Read this thread about Nick's good deed for someone who he actually thinks is a iNACHI member.

Now, Nick's intentions are good and the result was very heartwarming....however; read the guy's response. He is not a home inspector anymore. I contacted him and he told me that he has not paid dues "for years" and has had nothing to do with NACHI and, as far as he knew, was no longer a member.

Now....as Nick is blasting off his mouth about "diploma mills"....does this not come back to hurt this association 100 times more?

Realtors in your database listed as "Certified home inspectors" and threads searching for "members" who the head of the association has no way of knowing that the guy left the profession...and NACHI....."years ago".

NACHI could and should be better than this. It takes away from the whole association.

Jim, Michael Saxton hasn't been a member here in some time and hasn't been listed as a member here in years. I was just trying to help find him for his sister.
