In fact most of them use far worse language in the PMs they feel compelled to send me the instant before they block me from replying.

I guess if I couldn't win a public factual discussion with someone, maybe my only recourse would be to swear at them and then block them immediately so I can feel that I won the debate...

"standard a wee bit."

Is "wee" allowed?

Personally I would rather certain posters didn't try to steal from their marks by telling outrageous lies of behalf of the object of their affection, and that's more important to me than the minor profanities they use.

If posters could just be honest, then they can say "shit" all day as far as I'm concerned. In fact most of them use far worse language in the PMs they feel compelled to send me the instant before they block me from replying.

Re: #159,391: @IH Dan (Retired) - http://ihwiki.advfn.com/index.php?title=Handbook#Deletion_of_Posts Vul

I have seen the iHub definition of vulgarity and I find it vague...

"profanity of any kind is unacceptable"
According to Wiki: "Shit" is an English word that is usually considered vulgar and profane in Modern English.

Researching the definition of PG-13:
If a film uses "one of the harsher sexually derived words" (such as f**K) one to four times, it is routine today for the film to receive a PG-13 rating, provided that the word is used as an expletive and not with a sexual meaning (yet there are exceptions).

Well, clearly the movie definition of PG-13 allows far more profanity than iHub.

To me, I find absolutely no reason why an adult can't be expected to find a more descript adjective than "shit" as the best choice to describe a stock.

Simple question: Is "shit" and its derivatives permitted in iHub posts? Yes or No please... :)

Re: #159,388: @Stock_Barber - What is the official policy on posters using

http://ihwiki.advfn.com/index.php?title=Handbook#Deletion_of_Posts

Vulgarity – profanity of any kind is unacceptable on the stock boards, even when punctuation characters are used to "fill in the blanks" or letters are changed (f**k, azzh*le, etc.). The PG13 rule is loosely used as a guideline to what is/isn't acceptable. The theory is that if society has deemed it appropriate for a 13 year old to hear, it is unlikely that it will be offensive to the majority of Users. Any form of vulgarity directed at another User is unacceptable and should be removed (i.e. "you're a sh*thead", "being an a** doesn't help your case").

Re: #159,382: @stocscot - Shouldn't a Mod approve of and post positive

"Shouldn't a Mod approve of and post positive about the stock he/she is moderating?"

No, they should enforce the iHub ToU fairly and impartially. Period.

If all the Mods were just company shills then you'd never be able to tell the truth on a MB of one of the many companies that happen to be scams, and handle all the inappropriate deletions and posts that the supporters of the stock invariably commit.

As an example, it was only after I took over as Mod at the SPPH MB after the declared IRP stepped aside in late 2010 that any of the salient facts that revealed SPPH as an obvious scam were able to be posted and remain prominent - previously they were either deleted or buried.

Under the new regime of up to six "equal" Mods, it is now possible to have a balance between those who favor a stock, and those who don't. This tends to stop the more egregious abuses in either direction.

Re: #159,382: @stocscot - Shouldn't a Mod approve of and post positive

If someone is going to be a Moderator, they should at least be a shareholder.

The Moderator's role is to ensure the TOU are upheld. The rules of the site deal with conduct, not investor sentiment or shareholder status.

http://ihwiki.advfn.com/index.php?title=FAQ:Neutral_Mods

And this, specifically the MODERATOR's role:

In short, the role of the Moderator is to help foster an environment that promotes and encourages posting of ALL opinions and information about companies, regardless of the bullish or bearish sentiment of the posts, and to be the site’s first line of defense in ensuring we remain free of spam, vulgarity, and personal attacks.

The rules change to fit what the admin wants to do.

There are Terms, policies, rules and practices, some automated - and subject to change, and some manual and subject to change and administrative discretion. The latter occurs hundreds and even thousands of time a day. If you are looking for absolutes or total uniformity then you are looking in the wrong place.

These issues have already been discussed via PM. When using PM's to discuss issues you get a different answer every time and these issues affect all the admins and other paying customers here.

With JB's Ibox Junkyard; I do most of my Ibox work in the middle of the night and the GOOG editor is not fully compatible with the Ibox editor.
So I copy the info into the junkyard remove or fix what's needed then put it in the right Ihub Ibox.
The first time I used it I transferred an archived Ibox into it because the info went to 3 iboxes and some was to be saved for a later date.

On the first use, Linda deletes the board

I sent a PM to Admin explaining what I was doing, Edward restores the board

a couple weeks later with garbage from 4 stocks in it Linda deletes the board again saying it's stock specific.

I ask Shelly about it without telling her what's going on and she says a stock specific board is about 1 stock only.

Linda finally says I did it because I can do it... End of story/ can't argue with that.
