So webmaster. Now that you disclosed out of your "Genious" super powers - gasp. That mike_s55 and nlnator are the same person (OMG - what is the world coming to?). You should disclose the other people that may use this site who also post under the same IP.

I think you must disclose all people. I guarantee there is at least one other. Maybe you are annoying Alb or one of his many fan club members?

Man I cant find a decent blog in this town one that doesnt have any bias.

mike_s55 and nlnator are posting from the same IP address. This does not mean they are the same person but it raises suspicion.

LOL - he blocked me at my Home and work.

I use this to get around that.

unfortunately i havent found one that gives me the ability to post threads though. Let me know if anyone does.

I love making this guys life a living hell. The funny thing is that I wouldnt if he would have let my reasonably sound constructive posts a long time ago stay without being erased. I just think the judgement this guy uses to validate good posts versus bad is complete irrational.

It probably means your IP address has been banned, as the site seems to but up and running. Try accessing it from a different internet connection than you normally use-- say at work rather than at home, or at home rather than at work. At this rate there are probably more banned JC residents than total users.

I think I have been banned too. I'm SOOO excited. I just get a white blank screen when I click the above link. Does that mean I'm banned?

Moderator Strikes again. I am beginning to think this guy is a real asshole.

Kannekt.com Moderator: "If you guys didn't tell lies and act like jerk s maybe your post would remain"

The other thing the kannekt.com people dont realize is that they are only as good as the community that responds.

Many many times i go to that site and contribute honest valid commentary.

Maybe every once and awhile I feel like a smart ass but that is only about 10% of my posts. The kannekt.com people with their 0 tolerance for smart ass comments just piss off a user who from time to time feels like a smart ass, there goes another user who provides a majority of decent opinions. You cant make the assumption that every time someone makes a smart ass comment they are only smart asses.

LOL I was banned by my IP as well. What pisses me off is i just made a stupid joke. The thread was about how Samuel Jackson bought a penthouse apartment in JC and i said "SNAKES ON A HIGHRISE" needless to say a few other people follow up with movie quotes etc. Poking fun at it. The next day the Moderator Nazi Man deleted all the snakes on a highrise jokes and banned my IP address. Who is he to say or think what is funny or what is not.


What this nazi moderator doesnt understand is that if people have fun and joke around on the website, the community will ultimately regulate itself. The advertisers really dont care about what people write on there what they really like is that the site gets x amount of hits on the site each day and it is a very targeted audience - primarily all are interested in real estate in Jersey City and Hoboken. You cant get that type of targeted audience in many other means of advertising short of google ads, but probably at a fraction of the cost.

Other great sites like curbed etc could care less about what people comment on. In the end if it is spammers etc yes it makes sense but even jokers making stupid remarks are ultimately going to get you more hits on your site and allow you to charge a premium in the end.

I posted a negative review about Bonnie's Maids a month ago and it never showed up. Then I sent an email to ask why it was not posted and never received a reply. I guess I was the naive one who acutally used the reviews and thought they were accurate.

At one point that board had useful info. But it seems to be overrun now with fanboys, realtors, flippers & jerks who are emboldened by the anonomous posting priviledges. I know a few people who visit the site & purposely troll & flame when bored.

But I must admit that I visit every once in a while. It's like watching Jerry Springer, you know it's trash but sometimes you can't help it.

Yes, the moderator is a shill from his advertisers. He doesn't seem to realize that advertisers follow readers, its not readers who follow advertisements.

My feeling is there are largely two groups of people who post on that board. First, people associated with developments or selling real estate, like brokers, though they would never admit it.

Second, people who have demonstrated such a blatant lack of understanding of Jersey City that they cannot possibly actually live here.

Its too bad because Kannekt has the potential to be a great resource, but has obviously put short term profit over long term payoffs.

The guy who owns it gets PAID by the local businesses and developers. This is a fact and everyone knows it. That is why a lot of people have started yahoo groups to talk about things without posts getting deleted.

I like to read Kannekt but I realize it is just a big advertising site.

Anyone else find the moderator on that site to have absolutely the worst judgements when managing the site.


They delete at least a third of the posts.

Yeah, the guy running kannekt is a shit when it comes to deleting posts. But it doesn't really matter, most of the people posting on the Jersey City kannekt boards don't even live here. Most of them are speculative real estate investorss or realtors. A good rule of thumb is you shouldn't post anything on kannekt that is worth posting because it will be deleted, and you shouldn't believe anything posted on kannekt because its all fluff being posted by real estate brokers.

Several of us were having an interesting discussion last night, and while it wasn't the usual RE happytalk B$, it was FAR from controversial.

This morning ALL of the posts were removed and in the last hour my IP was banned from reading the forum at all!

Talk about control-freaks!

No free-speech on Kannekt.

I anonymously posted there some time ago that the location of 700 Grove sucks a$$ - next to busy railroad tracks (noise) and in the middle of nowhere.

The posts were yanked within minutes by the Kannekt shills.

Compared to Kannekt, our Webmeister is an angel!

I noticed this as well, but when I wrote the site admins, they told me to email them directly and they'd post my review...

I don't know if they would have honored that request as I never got around to re-chanelling my rage for Wild Fusion (which used to be awesome, and my positive review is still posted there unfortunately).

I noticed that quite a while ago. I posted a review there of Ground - it was one of their "editor's picks," so I don't think they post bad reviews of their "picks." I even tried resubmitting it a few times and emailing them.

As a result, I don't think they're very reliable. Other than to get a phone number or an address.

Has anyone noticed that when you submit a bad review for a bar or restaurant on kannekt.com it often doesn't get posted? All of my positive reviews have been posted though. Why is that? Do you think they're taking kickbacks from the business owners? I'm skeptical about that site now.
