Ga Forum Is Imploding - Keep It Clean

[CompCheck]

I have communicated with the AF Admin and discussed the situation at the GA Forum and the last thread. His issue is that many of us were pasting screenshots of the GA Forum which he viewed as a possible copyright infringement.

So. No posting screenshots of the GA Forum. Maybe keep the bashing to a minimum or to the monitors tolerance. But we can continue to keep in touch here for now and I'd like to hear what goes on there hoping beyond hope that JB has some kind of recourse he can execute to gain control again.

For the record I'm officially locked out for expressing my opinion - Where I asked him how is It we can help him reach his goals if he keeps blocking all of the members which have built the forum, including John Bryant? Exact words.. that was all it took.

Also - FalconFanKen had a forum does anyone have the link? Is he still appraising and do you think he may consider ramping it up again? Last I looked the last post was many years ago.

I think Ken's Forum was connected to GCAP. You probably could contact Tea, Ken, or Danny. Anna

I think that Forum was the GCAP Forum. Danny, Ken or Tea may have the connection. It could be that Ken took it down. Anna

Yeah sorry about that, my bad...
I just wanted everyone to know that it is not a place you can freely express a thought that doesn’t align with the new low IQ dictator. It is going down in flames. Feel free to encourage RBM to keep up the good work (LOL). I hope John got some money for it.
I hope we can find a better home here.

I really just feel bad for John. I mean he has spent so many years in this industry and had that open forum, and now he's ready to retire and to see what has happened to that forum in the last 30 days. Talk about a hit in the gut, the founder of the forum is even having his posts deleted.

I just don't understand what this guy is trying to accomplish. He has deleted pretty much all recent posts, even ones from the least controversial members ever. How do you have a forum, if you don't allow people to comment freely?

Does anyone even know who this guy is? Seems so strange that he never posted, then all of sudden he has bought the forum and is calling himself "super moderator", he definitely has some self esteem issues. Obviously, there is no reasoning with him, so unless John has a way (or desire) to try to break his contract with him, it's probably best just to never post on that site again and let him just post himself and answer is own question of the week.

Michelle also created a private Facebook Group - Georgia Real Estate Appraiser Forum Group.


I don't know if Ken still has that forum or not, I sent him a private message through the forum, but not sure if his info is up to date.

I have heard good news about the GA Forum! Stay Tuned. Once you learn what JB is doing - do what you can to share it.

Many thanks to Appraisers Forum.com for letting us discuss important local events in our industry which were specifically important to us. I've leaned some new threads and new topics here and they've gained a loyal supporter in me. I will revisit here often.

He states: If you post a "rule' or "technique" and fail to post the source proving that it is acceptable It will be deleted.
Someone needs to post the following on the split foyer page:

FNMA selling guide B4-1.3-05 pub June 5, 2018 states: "For consistency in the sales comparison analysis, the appraiser should compare above-grade areas to above-grade areas and below-grade areas to below-grade areas. The appraiser may need to deviate from this approach if the style of the subject property or any of the comparables does not lend itself to such comparisons."

Robert, please (per your own rules) post the rule where appraisers are not allowed to deviate from comparing the lower level as basement if it is on grade when it does not lend itself to such comparisons with that type of house. If you can't, please obey the forum rules and delete your posts. Thanks.
