one factor, I am sure they are blissfully unaware of, is that one rogue moderator has significantly shrank the market on all of their for sale items.......cars, parts, etc..........however, in true narcissistic fashion, I'm sure they could not care less how their boorish behavior negatively affects the very people that make their existence possible.....hey a lot like democrats.

The Parts for Sale sections are what I miss the most.

That's the same thing that got me banned, but it's hard to pull up specifics when post history is scrubbed.

Of course they don't. Stupid people don't know that they are stupid. Look up Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Same. He called me out a few times and we always had respectful conversations. He will side with the mods to a fault, but I think thats bc its just easier.

IB doesnt care, its all about money from advertisements. Money is the key to that forums success, for the company.
As far as Moderators, admin, etc, I imagine they are being compensated well. Well enough to forget where they came from.

You used the word "politicians" in your post - thus you made a "political post" outside of P&R.

I'm shocked you didn't know this.

Another god complex move from you know who. One or two posts that may seem a little political and bam, it’s moved.

A guy was just asking about moving to Florida.

I knew it was just a matter of time before this thread became political. I moved it to P&R, where your discussion can continue. This is a courtesy to you since you didn't intend this thread to be political and a courtesy to some people responding to your thread since posting political content or commentary outside of P&R is against the rules (defiance of moderation).

I still go there, mostly C6, C7 and C8, I beleive my longest ban was 30 days, I have received at least 50 bans and notifications, all when in PRC, all when explaining the fact to oblamo and fjb deepthroaters.

Many comments in C6, C7 and C8 could be considered ban worthy, but appears almost no moderation in those, as mods live in OT and PRC.

More like he's looking for excuses to **** with people. If I say "Joe Biden is a piss-poor driver" that's not a political statement, even though Joe Biden happens to be a politician. But when you get off on banning people you'll say it's political just so you can exercise your power.

- Best of all, no Cumdawg moderation here

Obviously mostly a lurker here, a little more active over there. Regarding 89x2, is he compensated or encouraged by the CF powers that be to constantly come up with inane useless topics or is he simply an attention whore?

They have lost a lot of guys over there that I enjoyed, strange stance by the mods and admins.........

IB loses very little if anything by members being banned. I doubt OT generates any revenue for vendors. Banned members can still read specific gen threads and are actually shown MORE ads than members are by way of the banner ads.

They only see an impact if people stay away. Clicks count as a win for companies that track such things.

This. IB's revenue last year was $1.6 Billion. They couldn't possibly care any less how CFOT is moderated or who gets banned unless it impacts advertisers and revenue from CF.

Thanks Steve! I've noticed that you've abandoned the CFOT lately and missed your spice! LOL

In fact, there's a ton of people that have left (banned I guess) CFOT. The last go around I asked JimZ06 where to go for a good chat - and he indicated this forum. This will be my new 'go to' place to shoot the shit!
