After reading the intro, I believe I have found the proper board to ask questions about iBox content and the rules for that content. As an example I will use the STOA iBox.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=9097
First some comments. It is my understanding that the iBox is to provide company information to those seeking information, about a company.

During my membership and use of IHUB, I have noticed that the iBox has become not very different than the associated board(s) for offering opinions, rather than factual information about a company.

Using the STOA iBox as an example, any person seeking to read an introduction to the company and seeking factual information, such as share structure, company officer info, financial information, etc. is first provided this opinion "STOA is a Pump and Dump Scam". After that initial bit of opinion, there follows a tutorial of Toxic Financing and information about a company symbol SMSH (no longer a company in existence, by the way). In fact 80% of that iBox is dedicated to a tutorial of toxic financiers and a defunct company. All placed in the iBox to enhance the opinion that STOA is a SCAM.

Although I, myself a moderator of that board, as well as many participants and posters of that board, have asked IHUB Admin to address and perhaps modify that iBox, all requests have been denied, under the premise that such information and opinion is within the IHUB user's rules for iBox information.

That all being said, my questions are, why even have an iBox? If the true purpose of providing company information in the iBox is the true intent of its being, why is it not different from the Board for the company, which has been established for offering comments and opinions of the associated company? Surely, there is plenty of opportunity to express opinions on the comment board portion for each site. Should not the iBox be limited to factual information about the company and the comment board for comments and opinion about the relevant company?
Why is this particular iBox (or any other) allowed to be used as a vehicle to expose OTC scams, rather than providing factual information about the associated company it has been created for?
Should there not be different rules for iBox information and comment boards, to differentiate the two? If not, why have two different portions to each company site?

Thanks for your response to my questions.
