Posting the same/similar message to more than two boards or more than twice in one day on one board is considered spam. I believe you would be violating that rule.

In addition, excessive posting of StockCharts charts can be a problem. See bottom of this post for an explanation:

A little background...

IHub / SI are the only sites where we can post live embedded charts in posts. These sites were legacy supporters of Stockcharts when they started back in 1999 and as such we have the privilege to hot link charts into our posts and IBoxes, but within limits. If those limits are abused then the board will be blocked by Stockcharts and I'm sure if it becomes more of a problem then we would all lose the privilege and none of us want that to happen. Remember its just a special privilege only for IHUB, its not a right.

In other areas it also causes problems with server loads when all these charts are requested at once and basically very few people actually look at them, but they still have to be generated and if any one has the IBOX turned on they are regenerated on every visit or page refresh on that board. It is also a problem as it violates the members TOS with respect to re-publishing of charts.

Anyway hope this info helps and gives you a little background into the whole story.
