Has Board Admin bias gone too far?

[slbrown]

Ya I will believe that when I see it. We had the NPHC and XCHO boards bombarded with one poster who publicly stated on another site he was out to take over those two boards here and he did it by continually posting once iHub lifted his 2 post per day limit. Then as mod for NPHC I fought his attempts and alerted admin and they removed my messages and reinstated his messages that were in violation. I went over some of my deleted messages and knew why some were deleted, but some just plain outrageous. I was told by admin that 1 sentence in my message about the market in general that they deemed off topic - That was pure BS! But they allowed him to post complete messages about the market an no reference to the stock and they reinstated it. I turned in a message where he used the word "Kiss Ass" and they would not even delete that. Then they booted me as moderator and almost all the folks on these two boards left and went started a new board on a better free site. All you have to MB is review my post and his and follow the threads and it is there for everyone to see. BIAS - Hell Ya!

[bouttime]

Yeah, some board mod's bias seems to have gone too far. Mod's posting mean spirited comments and innuendos about a company is a little over the edge. Maybe there should be mod term limits. lol

JMO of course.

[TradingForWealth]

I would go with three or four. I do think they would have to be impartial to the IHub management and thread in question. Matt could send out monthly or weekly jury duty notices!

[mAjOr dAmAgE]

That would be a good idea. An appeals committee. I don't know about 12. It should work like a federal court. You appeal to a three judge panel and if that doesn't work you appeal to a supreme court.

[TradingForWealth]

I'm starting to find a biased position on the part of admin. In my opinion Ihub is only beneficial to all members if every member is treated fairly.

The evidence that there is no rhime or reason to the deletion of posts is clear. IMO this will end in the demise of the message boards functionality.

Sorta makes you wonder what is the point of having a thread if posts can be censored by mods just on the whim of their dislike. Maybe it's time to assemble an admin review board. I would suggest an impartial "jury" of say 12 to whom an appeal of admin actions could be presented.

ot: thank you for sharing that Pennyfool.

So now we have self appointed ihub SEC police running around collecting and/or deleting posts (w/o due process) for what purpose?

To save Ihub?

To spy on posters?

To snitch on pinks?

To pass-through posts deemed by ihub to be________?? (fill in blank)

All because some pink sheet companies are or maybe scams?

Sounds weak too me unless Ihub is an arm of these scams?, If I operated a public forum and was subpoenaed by the SEC to do any of the above, I'd say: When you have the subpoena ready, You know where to find me. Then I would formally inform all the members of the situation.

In My Opinion, the tactics ihub seem to be employing, are no different than that of a pink sheet scam that has caved in to greed. Does admin have something to hide and they do not want to be implicated so they worked a deal. I have heard certain admin individuals here play the short game on certain stocks. Are they protecting them selves from a larger investigation? and thusly caved in to being a stooge for the SEC?

These are just honest questions I have and as a paying member I would expect that Ihub has an obligation to keep me informed of any investigations that may be going on.


My statements are my opinion only and are not intended to be taken as investment advice.

[jrod]

I was attacked by a moderator from another board, using the private message feature which is a tos violation. The contents of this "message" was to say that I am a Moron and an Idiot. This attacking private message was then posted on his own board bragging about the attack along with another post specifically bragging about his harassment of people through the private message function. I reported this tos violation. The next day I posted my OT conscern that this issue would be addressed and had my posts deleted. This has bewildered me. Are the moderators allowed to post in this way, and at the same time am I offending by posting my conscern? I did not post any lies, I did not post repeatedly, and I did not abuse any rules that I am aware of. So why can anyone go read about his attack on me and others, from his own words, but I am not allowed to post my conscern for this issue to be addressed? Was this because he is a moderator and I am just an average joe poster, or is there something that I am missing? I will not post names of people or boards for fear of further deletions But I would love to hear any opinions on this as I am offended by what appears to be extreme bias. And I would be lying if I were to say I was not conscerned about the integrity of these actions. To my knowledge this post is within the context of this board and should not be deleted.

[got2belucky]

SirVinny or Bob Zumbrunnen: Please read this and give your opinion on the board moderator. I have sent him and Matt a copy. Thank you.

Bobsnook66. I would expect the position that your in to handle such situation as you have with cantstandsya to be handled properly in a private mail. Not on the board where you can be cheered on by the catcalls of selected followers.

Now lets go over your post and the accuracy of it, or inaccuracy.

First, where is the personal attack which you speak of? I have gone over all of his 6 posts and have found none. And, there are no missing posts since he started posting.

His 1st post (2103) he asked a valid question. Of course if it's not one certain members on the board like, then it's not allowed. It's bashing. No diverse opinions please. He was against management and their salaries. And, as an investor, aren't you?

The 2nd (2108) Reiterated his position against management and their salaries. He didn't accept another poster's point. Again, that's not allowed? And, their was no personal attack in there.

His 3rd (2121) was in response to TRCPA. A pure difference of opinion. Again no personal attacks. The theme was again about management and salaries. And, good points. Kindly take note as an investor that one point has yet to be proven wrong. And, telling someone that their response was "circular logic" isn't a personal attack. That stretching it to try to hang someone.

The 4th (2126). Was addressed to you, tech and Tr. AGAIN, no personal attacks. It's obvious from his posts that he is not getting either an answer or all he's getting is brow beating. Some of the responses don't make sense to him. What's wrong with that? Or, when you're involved is a poster not allowed to voice such an opinion?

The 5th was to me and the reason for your sarcastic and unwarranted inclusion of my name in your post. Again, NO PERSONAL ATTACK. He has valid concerns that you and others don't see. So what? Again, what's wrong with it? He voices his concern about management. Isn't that allowed ion an Ihub board? It certainly is on others that are moderated differently I must say.

And, finally his last post (2132). To TRCPA. AGAIN AND FINALLY, NO PERSONAL ATTACK. So where do you get, "now a personal attack of not just one but all the posters on this board i take offence to." There are no personal attacks whatsoever. Just appears to be nothing but bias against a poster that doesn't agree with the "LONGS" of this board.

Where on earth has he "...impune the moral character of all the board members..."? There is no evidence of that.

He has, "insult the moral integrity of management and give nothing but negative insulting views of the company..." But, that isn't an issue for a board moderator is it? Investors have that prerogative. It's allowed on other IHub boards, why not this one?

"...but the next time you insult the moral character of the fine people on this board you will be gone." Or do you really mean, the first time he does it?

I'm going to forward this message to Matt and, hopefully through to Meredith. And, if that doesn't work, believe me, I will get through to someone to let them know of the apparent unfounded and unnecessary bias that you have show toward this poster and, obviously I'll be next, just to get responses like you have in posts 2136 and 2140 and 2141, which by the way a board monitor should remove as it is a personal attack.

Where was you sense of human decency with Tenzzi post that Matt had to erase from this board? That was okay, as he's one of the favored longs. Neither you or Chambers saw fit to delete that one. Now there was a clear case of TOS abuse if there ever was one and you as a upright board monitor let it go. Yet, you go after cantstandsya's post that all put together don't come close. Did you as politely tell tenzzi, "...but the next time you insult the moral character of the fine people on this board you will be gone. " I guess the definition of "fine posters" shouldn't be argued according to social standards of acceptance.

[revlis]

If what this poster has posted is true, I would like an explanation.

He is allowed to post negative post after negative post and we are not allowed to post evidence on how wrong he has been. I don't get it!

Elgindy was indicted by the U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn, N.Y., on charges of racketeering, insider trading, market manipulation, extortion conspiracy and obstruction of justice....

....In addition, according to the indictment, Elgindy extorted free or cheap shares of stock from the insiders of companies he had targeted in exchange for his agreement to lay off - to stop shorting the companies and stop spreading negative information about them.

Is this what happened in the case of SHAL/WEBV, where lead PAID Message Board Basher Floyd Schneider paved the way for all the usual shorters, including A@P and Goldfinger Worthington, then had a very sudden and unexplained change of Heart?...

After many weeks of coverage Truthseeker is dropping coverage on SHAL.
After going over the press release Garrett Krause is doing the right thing by actually doing a IPO and is going to file a registration on TheMovieSource.com with the SEC. This one could actually be successful.

"TheMovieSource.com intends to file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and conduct an initial public offering ("IPO") of its stock sometime in the future. However, TheMovieSource.com can provide no assurances that it will conduct an IPO, and is unable to comment at this time about the timing or any specifics of an IPO. Efforts to prepare a registration statement for filing are currently underway."

A reliable source reports that a black limousine pulled up at Schneider's home sometime that very afternoon of June 24, 1999... Did the Gift Bearers carry Incense and/or Myrrh?...

Or was it a plain brown paper bag full of Cash, or maybe, less likely, a couple rusted crowbars with an affinity for knee-caps?...

I wonder why Lord Jeffrey isn't as concerned about your apparent bigotry? Maybe had you said something about blacks, Jews or happy people he would have been all over you. He most certainly would have ousted you had you said something about some moist tart who wears army boots.

[Bird of Prey]

SirVinny,

Before you get too far into things with Bixmann you might want to review this board...

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=620

It seems that Bix took umbrance when ONE of his numerous questionable posts was removed. The post in question was off topic and would have been more appropriate on a number of other threads chaired by the same director. Bixmann was informed of this...and apparently considers the post so relevant that he has not posted it elsewhere. But he continues a campaign to smear the reputation of the Chairman involved.

Please remember that a CoB can only temporarily remove a post. IHUB Admin decides if the removal is permanent. If an individual feels the post should stand Ihub Admin will and has honored requests to review.

[Bixmann]

SirVinny

I completely agree. They are sacrificing the quality of the site for quantity. That will catch up to them in the end.

Bix

[SirVinny]

IHUB is going to run into the same trouble as SI. When Admin gets involved in the discussion then there could no longer be an open discussion. Whenever arguments break out, those closer to Admin get much slack amd are allowed to mudsling, while those who aren't as "chummy" are walking a tightrope.

If they are catering to the COB in order to attract advertising dollars then, IMO, they are going about it the wrong way.


SirVinny

[Bixmann]

SirVinny,

Admin wants the site to be popular so it can generate income by advertising.

I think one problem is the fear of chasing off the people who are opening the discussions. If they chase off the IR's, who will generate the interest.

It appears ADMIN cares more about catering to COBs with an ability to attract new interest than it does about quality interest. If allowed to continue, IMHO, this will be IHUB's undoing. People may post here from time to time, but they will not remain loyal if they are not guraunteed equality.

Bix

[SirVinny]

I can't believe that Admin here doesn't or refuses to see the potential abuse of the COB concept. A hypster who chairs a board can eliminate all posts which interfere with his/her agenda. Similarly, a trasher in the same position can do the same.


SirVinny

[Bixmann]

Nice Thread (Appropriate)

CBQI Thread has a COB who is lieing about me and when I check him on it, he threatens to delete my posts. What a Joke.

The beauty is the COB is employed by CBQI and selectively deletes posts.

Raging bull sux when it comes to killing posts, but IHUB IMHO,is taking this a step too far.

Such is life.

It seems to me we have a bigot in our midst. I wonder if Jeff is offended by what appears to be an attack on Italians. If Rupers were to say something derogatory against Jews, blacks or homos I'm sure Jeff would have acted immediately. I guess it's alright to insult Italians, isn't it Jeff?

SEVU US: SeaView Taiwan Contract Will Exceed $80 Million Page

SEAVIEW VIDEO TECHNOLOGY INC ("SEVU-L")
- SeaView Taiwan Contract Will Exceed $80 Million

SeaView Video Technology Inc. (http://www.sevu.com) released the
following information from Logis-Tech Inc., the Alexandria VA-based teaming
partner representing the Company to the Department of Defense. Logis-Tech
Director of Government Marketing, Frank Travis, issued the following
statement:
"We have been working on a major contract with Taiwan. Top military
advisors have visited us here in the United States. In addition, our people
have made two presentations there. We have demonstrated the multi-camera
system from SeaView Video Technology Inc., utilizing the IRFS(TM) system.
Our overall contract is several hundred million dollars, and we have
allotted funding for SeaView's "SecureView" product.
"Security is a major portion of this sale, and SeaView will be
receiving an $80-million minimum order to provide cameras, IR floodlights,
and control CPUs. The SecureView concept provides an economical and quick
method of adding quality video."
Col. Larry Hoffman (USA ret.), SeaView National Sales VP, commented:
"This project essentially mirrors the National Guard project here in the
US, and the 7th ARCOM contract in Europe. Our first two Guard buildings
will get a test run this month. We are also finding that county and state
governments are interested in the concept. Logis-Tech will install and
service all these systems. The keys to this entire product line are
simplicity and economics in installation. Just like the consumer side,
screw in the light bulbs and play on any TV through the power line."

I certainly don't want you to praise anyone; disagreement is the cornerstone of SI. But simplly posting rude comments does not constitute a discussion.

A couple of years ago I had asked a former SI Admin to correct a post in which I had used a wrong word. The word I had used signified the opposite of what I really intended to express. A couple of days later, I realized my mistake while rereading my post. I asked the former Admin to change the word for me. He did so, although reluctantly.

I will provide a link to that post to proper authority should the need arise.

Whether or not I directly accused you of personally editing my posts is not a "minor semantics violation" to someone coming from a long line of lawyers. That is a critical distinction.
You took exception to the fact that a post that wasn't deleted was written in the middle of the night, but as I reminded you, I didn't write it in the middle of the night. You did.

You also deleted my first post. As I stated to you before, in doing this, you damaged its integrity by taking it out of its proper, original context. That is why I demanded you restore it. You had no right to play with the truth in that manner, Bob, I am sorry.

QThink, I was obviously exagerating simply to get my point across.

If the rules are set then they should be applied equally to all members. However, the minute Admin tolerates one exception than it should tolerate all. Otherwise, it risks the chance of appearing biased towards one member and against another.

Prayer to Lord Jeff of SI
Third cousin to Lord of the Fly (on the mother's side)

Psalm: 23 verse 19
Dallas 17: Redskins 3

Oh Lord
Master of cyberspace communication
Purveyor of the chat rooms
Sayer who always gets the last word.

Oh Ye of infinite wisdom.
What haseth thy humble servant donneth to warrant thou wrath?
Speaketh to me Oh powerful One and telleth me my sin. Crawleth from under that rock, I mean, from the top of that
mountain and telleth me why I am undeserving of your compassion.

When I am provoked
should I not speaketh
When I am pricked (not that there's anything wrong with that)
should I just lie there and turn the other cheek
When my name is used in vain
should I stick my fingers in my ears
When my foes shoveth
should I further widen my blessed orifice
When i am spanked....(No problem with that last one as long as Ingrid does the spanking!)

Telleth me what to do Oh Lord
For I have read thy Holy Scriptures (TOU)
but yet cannot figure out my sin

Oh Lord
You are my Sheppard who likes little sheep
Telleth me my sin Oh Lord
so that next time I shall follow your righteous way

Lead me not into temptation (well, if she has big boobs a little temptation would be alright I suppose)
But deliver me from the demons that lyeth within.

Amen...but preferably A woman...Ok Ok, many many women!

Your humble servant

Master

Maybe we should all go and ask Jeff to explain the Terms of Use.

Does asking someone if his Sister wears army boots constitute a violation which warrants a two week suspension?

I could possibly understand if the reference was made about someone's MOTHER. But a sister is fair game in my opinion <ggg>.

Sounds Like SI is back to SOP. The "in" crowd can do as they please, any that oppose them get suspended. Maybe admin fears the "in" crowd. Maybe they have a relationship with admin. Who knows? Only thing for sure is that this has been going on at SI forever. And it will only come to an end when the "in" crowd are the only ones posting there.
The only way to get kicked off at RB is too spew filth in mass quantities (thousands of posts). And then you are not prevented from signing on with a new alias and starting all over again.

Here is another example of Jeff's dubious qualities as a fair administrator:

Master responds to xcr by saying "You should try sex once in a while."

Rupers replies with a disgusting suggestive remark as well as namecalling.

The result was that Master got another two weeks in the penalty box while Rupers was aloud to continue with his eloquence of the English language.

Why the double standard, Jeff, WHY?

Master - You told xcr "You should try sex once in a while. "

Maybe you should wear a condom so Godfather won't get Strepp throat so often. Buzz off, you meathead.

A vote for YES as the many board administrations bias has gone too far. These boards are becomming a bashers paradise and administration is supporting it.

RB member MMMary (Stockaholic) was suspended for a week in February for posting members ISP information. RB repeated the violation rules as being 1)warning 2)suspension 3)user name removed and all posts deleted. 2 weeks ago, she was suspended again for further violations. What happened to step 3 of the violation program? Did RB violate its own rules in support of a basher?

Good job, Vinny. Nice board!

Vinny, that's an inventive Spin...

but somehow, I don't think Pee-Wee was quite alone in that Room... BTW, that's what happens when you don't bring latex gloves with you to the Cinema...
