I suggest you review the TOS. This will help: http://ihwiki.advfn.com/index.php?title=Handbook#Deletion_of_Posts Specifically, Personal Attack This is when someone attacks one or more members personally rather than the content of that Member's message. The post does not have to be addressed to the "target" of the attack to be considered a Personal Attack. If it attacks a messenger rather than the message, it qualifies for deletion and it is expected that Moderators will remove it. Off Topic Posts about or focusing on other Members or groups of people and their reasons for posting on the board (i.e. "XYZDownDaDrain" is just a basher, ignore him", "XYZToDaMoon" is a pumper", "the naysayers are very loud today", "c'mon, where did all the cheerleaders go?"). The post does not have to be addressed to a specific person. If the post is about other Users then it should be removed. Posts about Moderators and/or deletions are also "off topic". Issues of this nature need to be discussed with a Site Admin.
