IB is a large corporate owner of many popular web sites. If anyone thinks that they (IB) give a rats ass about what users think, they are delusional

What kind of business model includes getting rid of your most loyal, tenured subscribers and members ?

Over the years, and on multiple occasions, CF Admins have flat-out stated their desire to eliminate the OT and PR&C sections entirely. They consider those forum sections to be a nuisance, more trouble than they're worth to maintain. When you understand this, you'll understand their general attitude towards the members that populate those sections exclusively. They just don't care. The Vette Barn has been here for over 11 years now, and has served as a popular respite for those banned from Corvetteforum. Trust me, we've experienced and heard the identical complaints from every disgruntled member ejected from that place. There's easily several hundred members here that have "been there, done that" prior to you, many of which are banned from CF permanently. You can try going higher up and complaining to IB, you certainly won't be the first to do so, but I can tell you right now arguing with a wall is apt to produce identical results. Internet Brands operates their (hundred or so) forums with a mostly hands-off approach. They take care of the technical side of things in producing and maintaining the actual websites, and obviously collect all the ad and vendor revenue those sites generate...But they leave the "people problem" conflicts in the hands of the admins of those individual forums. In this specific situation, contacting CF admin Jim Willis (savewave) once your ban has lifted would be your best bet. This too is likely to fall on deaf ears, just saying he's going to be the one person tasked with addressing this particular complaint. You'll be most likely to receive a response if you can present him a calm, polite, and well-worded letter. Understand he will undoubtedly side with the moderator that made the decision to displace you, so don't expect your complaint alone to produce any real results...But given the likely scenario he's received numerous other complaints regarding said moderator already, that pile of hate mail might eventually become too large for him to ignore. It certainly can't hurt to add to that pile. |

Most of the PR&C folks know one another after all these years and don't need to be babysat. Occasionally you get a troll or RIM creating asinine threads, but that's about it. THOSE problems were NOTHING compared to the garbage they've elevated to moderator status. Queston....are those new mods like Chemsleaze just moderating PR&C and OT or are they in the main car/Corvette threads, too ? |

I used to be a moderator on some distance running related boards (over a decade ago now!), it really isn't a hard job. Someone breaks the rules, they get a warning. Second infraction of the same rule, short vacation. Third infraction, medium vacation. Fourth infraction, long vacation. I don't ever remember giving out a long vacation, people got the idea pretty quickly what was tolerated and what was not. |

The board as it currently stands is more or less unusable for me with those liberal moderators passing out punishments for "wrong think", that being anything that disagrees with the liberal agenda. |

I think i should be a Mod. I never stir shit up or talk smack with anyone here. I feel i bring tranquility, enlightenment, and just a good feeling among us.

I got a “Warning, your post has been removed” PM from there today. Not even a post in OT or P&R, but in C8 For Sale section. Some guy with limited English skills has an ad for a C8 and he’s asking way over MSRP because it’s a “pre-COVID” model, which makes it collectible. I simply asked why that makes it collectible.
