IHub Moderator Ethics in Practice

[Koikaze]

Thanks, Phil

It just seemed worth posting.

Fred,

Matt allows way too much flexibility on the moderators of the stock boards IMO.

Snackman is a good example.

I'm sure there are others.

"Pumpers" are allowed a lot more leeway than "bashers".

Especially if the "bashers" are freebies.

Have fun,
Phil

[Koikaze]

Is this worthy of consideration?

Follow the links back a couple of steps!

lol.

I'm seconds from disaster.

[friendlyfred]

I dont know if I agree with that. Smart daytraders get out before disaster. Not so smart investors sometimes find reasons to like a stock even when it is dropping in value. The shrewd investors are right there helping them along. lol

[chwdrhed]

Daytrading, by far.

At least with moderating a few good months will chase away the trouble makers. With daytrading you're always seconds from disaster.

[IRISHBULL]

Hello all, co-moderator on BB's Penny Haven board! Don't know which is more work, daytrading or moderating the board.. LOL Very busy!

[chwdrhed]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

If communication is goal oriented how do you know what the goals are of your audience.?Reception is the key is a tossaway, and which would perhaps recognize poetry as being a non starter. Delivery is merely a means to an end only means to me that you are against randomness.

And of cource to each his own, though suggests to me that I did not commit a crime so far so I guess it is allright (holy patronizing!)
I am first led to believe that a persons's psychological processes are channeled by the ways he interprets future events. The free will you dispense so readily on your equal cause we are here readers (share same goals) has not been digested by my thought process.

Enough of the lecture for a lecture. Have a wonderful holiday!!!!!

[swampboots]

Chwdrhed : Past is no guarantee of future performance but last couple of years Buzz picks have satisfied 2 parameters of noted importance to a person like me who likes be see his portfiloio nearly double in one months time ( well 6 weeks for extra margin). Not only are the picks gettable with days of buying chances but I can convince myself to go really deep.

[chwdrhed]

Fair enough.

For me communication is goal oriented. Reception is the key. Delivery is merely a means to an end.

To each his own, though.

I do very much appreciate you directing me to Buzz's posts. I have several of his picks in my basket right now.

[swampboots]

Chwdrhed: Seriously I spend most my time posting about mastering a span of time for profit, easibly understandable to most. Once ya start with opinions about anything it is really just a trip down evocuative memory lane, so why waste time with pussy footing. Sure my style ensures lining up all the embedded nastiness of my audience, but at least there is no sentimental falsehood attracting false conventional bonding
based on probable inaccurate knowledge.
I am just a low down word player, relying on my imagined audience to grow each letter.
Lets see, without your timely resonse I would have never thought up all of this crap,lol.

[chwdrhed]

If only it had ended with that post.

Seriously, how do you expect people to read that?

[swampboots]

Flota to answer your question, it started with this little innocent post of mine:

http://investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=4671075

[swampboots]

Flota its a great question, and a long story. But the clue is transference and counter transference. Look it up on google as it concerns evocutive knowledge and how it interfers with individual opinion and its production. In fact I think I will elaborate on the subject once I get off the treadmill trading conveyer,lol.

[lil_mini_ditka]

Like the guy said, take it easy, dude. I might have to ban you from my board.

[flota]

LOL

[chwdrhed]

So was mine. I thought you knew that. :)

[flota]

it was a joke..ditty knows that...

[chwdrhed]

Easy tiger. I wouldn't want to ban you. :0

[flota]

DORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flota]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chwdrhed]

He who walketh in swamp with flotas need boots.

[flota]

swamp...how did you end up here???

[lil_mini_ditka]

Being a moderator is haaaaaaaaaaaard work!

Gee, hard to get a yes or no from some of these semi lurkers,lol.

Re:"Get a firmer grip on reality."

I respectfully have a question for you (customized).


Was there ever a time down the centuries when a majority of people in ones inner circle and outter circle believed the world was flat?

PS. Easy lad just a simple question.

[TonyMcFadden]

Might I, respectfully, suggest intensive therapy?

Taliban?

Al-Qida [sic]?

Get a firmer grip on reality.

[swampboots]

Long post of just questions.
Warning : Only read at your discretion. I am asking only to answer a more important question found in this post.


Is it possible that people who post on a particular exclusive private club site at IHUB become more skilled at identifying non- private club types?

Is it possible for a poster to post on a private IHUB site board before reading the large print because he is reponding to a "friendly" poster (having reflexivly posted dozens of times before) who now posted on that new private site board?

Is it more likely that nasty Taliban like behavior toward non- private club members are encouaged in a private club setting over say a non- private club setting?


Is it possible for a poster who posted on a private club site to meet the same parties who read his post on a non-private site board?

Is it possible that the skills of exclusion learned by posters who have posted on private club sites become useful when they post on other non -private IHUB sites?

Can posters who post on private club sites get to feel that their exclusive private club site board is actually their real physical home?

Are posters who post on private club sites boards more likely to respond to posters who have intruded on their private site boards with physical violence than posters who always post on non-private site boards?

Are assistant/s to the moderator on a private club board site likely to act as henchmen?

Can assistants from a private club site stalk a poster to a non-private site board?

Is it possible that the moderator of a private club site is more likely to like hearing reports that his assisant/s enacted
postings designed to hurt the feeling of the intruder to their private club site on IHUB.


Do any of the questions I have asked have anything in the world to do with the growth of Al Qida?

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

HUH?

J/K I know what you meant.

IOW, The excessive use of adjectives only confuses the point the poster is attempting to make.

LOL

Have fun,
Phil

[Lownumba]

My concurrence abounds! Excessive adjectival usage combined with vocabular pedantry generates obfuscation which should be eschewed.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

C.,

I agree to disagree.

Have fun,
Phil

[Churak]

Phil, my comments were not intended to get into an argument with you. You have your opinion re the banning feature, I have mine. I suspect that we agree to disagree on the merits of the banning feature. As I also stated, iHub ain't my sandbox so either I accept the banning feature as it is or go elsewhere. It's really that simple.

[ONEBGG]

BANG!!! That was the sound of you hitting the nail right on the head, JMO!

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

C.,

The idea is to partake in a discussion, not carry on a monologue. The problem that arises on boards which have people that are banned is, IMHO, one of intolerance. Intolerance and lack of respect for opinions that differ from those of the MODERATORS. It is the equivalent of putting your hands over your ears, closing your eyes & shaking your head to & fro not wanting to hear anything that is different from what you believe.

In my opinion, as I am sure you already know, there is a reason that the ability to ban is a good thing.

And before I tell you why, please let it be noted I only think so for the non-stock boards.

The NOLIB board was set up as a place where like minded people could go and discuss things without having to deal with the opinions of people we didn't want to listen to.

Sort of like your home away from home. IOW, if someone comes into your home and acts like a butthead, you ask them to leave. If they won't leave. You have to call the police.

I am one of the police on the NOLIB board.

There are other political boards I help manage where opinions are rarely stiffled.

RantsPA and Simply Politics are a couple.

In fact, Swampboots inane post is still on the GOV board for all to see.

And as you stated, if you don't like the fact that I can ban you, start your own board and ban me.

Since I don't wish to get the argument going all over again, this will be all I currently have to say concerning the subject.

Have fun,
Phil

[chwdrhed]

Yup.

Elitist exclusionism. Not a pretty sight.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Sometimes those with greater intellect prefer that those with lesser intellect struggle to understand what is being communicated.

IMO, if you want someone to read and attempt to comprehend your post, you should use as few words as possible to get your point across.

The excessive use of adjectives only confuses the point the poster is attempting to make.

That doesn't make them more intelligent but less intelligent, IMO.

Have fun,
Phil

[swampboots]

Yo dude lets not get too high brow, 15 mistakes already this morning in the pit has made me a dunce.

[chwdrhed]

Call it, careful consideration of conundrum.

[chwdrhed]

I couldn't agree more.

However, if a moderator continued to operate that way one would think that more clear thinkers would gravitate away from the board. One would be left with the same situation - a board with one voice.

[swampboots]

comments civil
Chwrdhed Churak

I think the C's have it. Cee ya.

[Churak]

On the up side, however, you can create a premium board yourself

And if no one comes there, it would be quite difficult to carry on a discussion. The idea is to partake in a discussion, not carry on a monologue. The problem that arises on boards which have people that are banned is, IMHO, one of intolerance. Intolerance and lack of respect for opinions that differ from those of the MODERATORS. It is the equivalent of putting your hands over your ears, closing your eyes & shaking your head to & fro not wanting to hear anything that is different from what you believe.

[chwdrhed]

'boots,

I have a few thoughts on your situation I'd like to share with you.

First, what Churak wrote to you is true. You can be banned from a premium board by the moderator of that board. On the up side, however, you can create a premium board yourself.

Second, you may want to give some attention to the manner in which you communicate. The true value of communication is in thoughts being accurately transferred from one person to another. Sometimes those with greater intellect prefer that those with lesser intellect struggle to understand what is being communicated. They effectively "ban" others from their discussions by the use of many words. If the effort is truly to exclude others then the reaction in kind of those excluded can seem justified. If, however, the effort was actually to communicate then a better effort should be made to include all.

Does this make sense?

[Churak]

Dude, the board you are referring to, ie NOLIB, is in the Premium category of iHub. It is a CLUB board despite management saying that there is no such thing as Private or Club boards on iHub. Accordingly the MODERATORS can ban you at will. That's life on iHub. As PHIL said, you don't like it, tough, there are many other boards to post on. Find them & have a party there. Is it fair? Don't matter...that's life on iHub. Deal with it or post elsewhere.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

At least you are proving what I said previously:

I consider you to be an idiot.

Have fun,
Phil

[swampboots]

Oh Oh vieled threat to off me! I take crazies seriously:

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=4673322

[swampboots]

My mediocre writing has gotten PHIL in a huff."You would never call me a coward if you met me in a dark alley some night."
Can't believe physical threats are tolerated on a site which relies on words to make a fair points. I mean I think this dude is actually either threatining me or askin for a duel?

True ya got to be careful of wackos who love to run to the scope machine to compensate.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Most bullies (Phil) are coawards ,they try to hide from the missing skills they lack.

You would never call me a coward if you met me in a dark alley some night.

I consider you to be an idiot.

Find somewhere other than my boards to let your fingers and imagination go wild.

There are plenty of other places on Ihub and the internet to spew your crap.

Have fun,
Phil

P.S. If you are looking for sympathy on this board, you are unlikely to find any. We have all dealt with your kind before.

[swampboots]

Yo Chwdrhed, is that true . Ihub has a few anointed heavies who get to order who gets to speak and to cuss them in public because they protest that they are banned for life on all the boards that the deleters control?
Ever hear of the Taliban? Sounds like same set up. Writing is only way to post here. Slander me writing like a man...ya with words not the delete button . Most bullies (Phil) are coawards ,they try to hide from the missing skills they lack.Teach me the writings I must mimic atleast. Don't delete and run. But this is tolerated by his tribe because they don't even wish to bandy facts with the power of multitude against just mediocre me.
