HOW NOT TO HAVE YOUR MESSAGE DELETED 101
This is getting bad, almost 50% of the messages are being deleted even though it is quite simple to post your thoughts without arguing.
1. If 90% of your message is about the company, but 10% is about the poster, it will be deleted. So, as soon as you write, "You post false information...," or "You only have opinions, I have facts," the message is gone. Just post the opinions or facts about the company without engaging the other person. You simply don't need to include the extraneous flames on the other person.
2. Don't accuse the poster of having motives if they post something you don't agree with. Simply write what your thoughts are or what facts you have. As stated, if the post questions the previous poster, it's zapped. Simple. So don't say, "You're bashing this stock...," or "You have a personal problem with the company," because your message will be deleted. Just state what the information you have is without regard to the other person.
3. Don't include comments like, "This will probably be deleted," or "my messages were deleted," because I'm required to delete it and I will. The proper way to appeal deletions is to click TOOLS then MY REMOVED POSTS. You can appeal unless Admin deleted it.
4. Don't attack or question the mods. Understand that 90% of the deletions were not done by mods, although they should have been. Unfortunately, the poor message content and constant flaming has caused Admin and Mod Squad to hover on this board deleting messages. This is because there seems to be some difficulty in discussing the company rather than each other. If you want to discuss something with a mod, send a PM.
5. Stop sending messages that should be private through the public board. Don't say, "contact me on Yahoo," or "I need to talk to you in private here's my email." If you can't send a private message because you're free, pay for a membership. Or, sneak it in on a non-stock board. Don't clutter the board with invites to share info privately.
6. Don't accuse each other of illegal acts. An ill eagle is a sick bird. This board is to discuss the stock. If you know someone violated the law, call the FBI or you might yourself be violating the law (see 18 USC 3). It's simply not open to debate on the stock board, and it really doesn't matter to the stock.
7. Don't repeat the same thing over and over. If you repeat the same thing, it's considered SPAM. I'm all for dialogue and debate, but the duplicate messages just to annoy each other or intimidate will be deleted as duplicates.

Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Be he 'live, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
