[IH Admin [Shelly]]

This board has strayed far from the intended purpose of offering site suggestions for Amit and will be temporarily Closed. While this board will be unavailable for comment, if you have anything you'd like to add, you can post on the Site Suggestions board and mention Amit in the post.

Going forward, this board will be used for surveys, to inform Members of updates along with requesting feedback for focused dialog. When the board is re-opened, your cooperation is asked for in commenting on the discussion at hand and keeping any off topic commentary to a minimum.

[Vexari]

There is something to be said

About not responding

[surfkast]

Precious! LOL

[Homebrew]

Got it. Thanks 👌

[Wayne R]

I like bots, when they respond it is usually more civil than IHUB members

[boston745]

Bots seem good at generic posts and snark but not analysis. Most people post very basic posts which likely renders bots harder to detect. However i post very detailed heavily sourced information and they do not handle that well.

[Stock_Barber]

You ask them "Are you a bot?".

If they say yes, then they are.

If they say no, they are because a bot would certainly lie about being a bot.

If they don't respond at all, they certainly are a bot.

So simple! 😁

[boston745]

Outside of how quickly they can respond with alot of material that wasnt previously posted? Analyze the content of what they post. Theres usually clues in it when it comes to information or lack thereof. Coupled with bots have an inability to process referenced material well from my experience. So if i post information, they lack an ability to properly absorb whats posted and respond with proper analysis.

[Homebrew]

How do you determine a bot account ?

[boston745]

Adding that functionality would improve their system because they still exist.

[Homebrew]

Admin bans bot accounts. They may already have systems for tracking all that.

[boston745]

Lets try this again.
Adding a feature would be better for multiple reasons. It would help track good and bad bots to prevent them from taking up Mod slots. However bot accounts providing services like posting news articles shouldnt be removed or banned. But maintaining a database on bots will help tell the difference between good and bad bots is a good idea imo. The database should track bot accounts, their IP addresses, and how they function, flag content if bad. Keep the useful bots ban the rest.

[Stock_Barber]

Maybe everyone should have a picture of themselves naked in their profile.

Am I the only one that does that? 🤣

[Wayne R]

You are on to something.

Maybe everyone should have a picture of themselves naked in their profile.

[Stock_Barber]

I have the perfect solution to iHub civility!

Ban the words NAKED and SHORT!

Virtually every war here begins with some bagholder screaming about shorts to explain their ill-researched purchase of a crap stock and its subsequent decline!

I'm serious! While it seems extreme... I bet it would do wonders!

[Werbe]

I hope they rein in with the attacks on here, this was an invited board for people to express opinions on how to improve ihub. I keep seeing people call others whiners, stupid, idiots, clowns and no removals? Double standards. Dont like it, too bad do not attack.

[Wayne R]

True, it has more to do with being an idiot.

[Homebrew]

That's nothing to do with being a moderator.

How about not letting board moderators PM you name calling and then blocking you from replying. Why don't y'all reel in your rogue moderators. This site is more and more a scam!

[Homebrew]

Send a PM to Admin if you suspect one.

Another feature that should be added is a way to report bot accounts

[Paulie Cashews]

Yes, available at the IHUB Store on Amazon:



Paulie's Pixel Palace

[Wayne R]

The offer is tempting.

Are there free IHUB tee's that come with the offer?

[Paulie Cashews]

Just subscribe to IHUB Ultimate and you'll have it all:



Paulie's Pixel Palace

[Wayne R]

I know, it went off the rails from day 1.

I'm pretty much OK with the status quo.

How to attract more subscribers? I have no idea.

A bake sale twice a year?

[surfkast]

This was supposed to be a board to help enlighten and educated admin and members but has turned into a cry baby forum. So sad.

[Stock_Barber]

Here's another idea... an IQ test before being allowed to post on iHub.

I guess that would actually be a horrible idea because way too many iHubers would likely fail... but then I wouldn't need to be posting this right now.

[Gusher405]

Here's an idea. How about not letting board moderators PM you name calling and then blocking you from replying. Why don't y'all reel in your rogue moderators. This site is more and more a scam!

[scoobey-do]

What is a bot account?

[janice shell]

What? A note sent to Admin is FAR less likely to "get lost" than. a TOS report. Chances are you'll even get an answer.

[boston745]

They should add a feature to report bots not just require people to send a message to admin where it could get lost under who knows how many messages. A feature would allow a database to be constructed for monitoring bot accounts and possible bot accounts separating it from general messages the admin receives.

[janice shell]

Once again, send a PM to the Admin general mailbox. Explain why you think the alias is a multiple, or even a bot.

[boston745]

Another feature that should be added is a way to report bot accounts

[cojoboy]

You have a admin mod that is definitely one sided..not being consistent in her rulings..steering the conversation in her direction..

[surfkast]

I report to Admin if needed. Have gotten some booted off as a mod

[Stock_Barber]

I understood, and agree 100%!

The ignore function should be superseded by the moderator status, and if abused by a moderator, they should be removed as a moderator.

I recently posted here in response to a poster complaining here that he gets no explanations for his post removals. I pointed out that I had tried, but he had me on ignore!

[Wayne R]

It seems like I wasn't clear.

I gotta start over.

Let's say I'm a mod on a stock, and another mod doesn't really like what I post, so he puts me on ignore. Don't really care.

But one day, in the capacity of moderator, I want to send a PM, let's say just to ease tensions on the board, among the community.

I know this is a fantasy land that doesn't exist, but I can't pm the other mod because I 'm on ignore.

[Stock_Barber]

Been there, done that. The usual outcome has been Admin steps in and removes their post, and shortly thereafter, removes them as a mod!

[Wayne R]

He's a mod, he could just reinstate it, then I could remove it again, then...

Pretty sure I don't want to play.

[Homebrew]

Yes at first, then it gets tiresome. There have only been a couple of them.

Vile, disgusting PMs make me laugh.

[Homebrew]

In those cases, I usually report the post, ley Admin decide, to avoid "Mod v. Mod" delete/restore games that some like to play.

[Wayne R]

Why would you do that?

Vile, disgusting PMs make me laugh.

[surfkast]

They would learn? Maybe?

[Wayne R]

I just wanted to send a nice friendly pm about his post being somewhat outside the TOS.

I suppose I could remove his post, but what would be the point?

[Homebrew]

Occasionally I have tried to be helpful to someone, find I'm on ignore, so they put themselves on the "do not help me" list.

I have only ignored a handful of people, who send vile disgusting PMs.

[bucks2pennies]

I admit I am not one for scouting around. Time consuming when you are not really understanding what you might look for - chuck that up to being a lazy old fart. thanks Home.

[Wayne R]

Here's something new, or maybe it has already been brought up.

I'm a mod on a board and another mod said something, I just wanted to tell him to be careful. Seems I can't send him a PM, I'm on ignore.

Seems odd that mods can't pm mods.

[Homebrew]

Do a board search for "strategies", or other key words, and/or start your own.

[bucks2pennies]

Ignorant. Supply a couple

[janice shell]

I would have to hear from Amit directly on that one.

Amit has not weighed in on any of this since the first week or two of the board's existence. Which was some months ago.

At the outset, I had the impression that what Amit wanted was ideas about new directions IHub could take. You know: exciting new features. Instead, he got endless bitching about deleted posts, evil bashers, and unfair moderators and admins.

Perhaps he was disappointed. Certainly he's got better things to do than read that stuff.

[Homebrew]

There are other boards for discussing trading strategies etc. VIP is supposed to be for website suggestions.

[12yearplan]

Monks, I think he like me just wonder where you made a connection with youtube
