You are breaking your own rules again, what a shame. You'd never survive in the streets. You were probably the class monitor that everyone loved to give wedgies to!
I am outta here, going back to a REAL stock discussion board.
That being said, let’s get into the rules of the game...
Using Information on iHub
iHub provides users an area to discuss financial-related information, views, opinions, and the recommendations of individuals and organizations.
The "rules of the road" are fairly simple in principle. Conduct yourself generally as you would at a gathering where polite people might attend. Watch your language. Avoid rudeness and flame wars. Stay on topic and stick to posts relevant to the board on which you are participating. Otherwise, behave legally, morally and ethically.
You are completely responsible for your own investment decisions and who and what you believe on the boards. The boards are designed to help you gain the information edge you need to help you make your own decisions. You are responsible for properly analyzing and verifying any information you choose to rely upon.
iHub does look at messages posted by its members. We do reserve the right to monitor or remove any post, at any time, which is in violation of the User Agreement or clearly detracts from the value of the community, without notice. We also reserve the right to terminate any member's membership at any time, without notice or refund.
Members should be aware that other members may not be who they say they are. We strive very hard to make sure members post under only one alias, but there is no guarantee our efforts will always be successful. iHub does not perform a background check on any of the alias profiles. We do not guarantee that members' alias profiles contain accurate information. Members should also be aware that other members may use iHub for personal gain. Therefore, everyone should approach messages with appropriate skepticism and objectivity.
Messages posted by individuals may be misleading, deceptive, or in error. If you disagree with a posting, feel free to voice your opinion. It is the policy of iHub to allow our members to freely discuss issues in a free and open manner, and we will not take sides in disagreements or disputes involving our members, so don't try to bribe us. We do however want the conversations to stay civil, on topic, and insightful. They will be placed on a special archive for reference purposes. You may disagree about a topic or issue, but stay objective and do not turn it into a personality battle.
iHub has only moderated boards and it is largely a self-policing discussion site, which means that our site administrators will respond and react to e-mails received from members regarding violations of the Terms of Use. Upon receipt of such e-mails, the iHub Admin can and may take appropriate action (at their sole discretion), including, but not limited to the removal of post(s) and the suspension or termination of account(s). Chances are - if you're honest, sincere, and civil with your posts - you will never have to worry about having a post removed.
If you believe a message has been intentionally posted in violation of securities laws you should contact the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC's e-mail address for complaints is enforcement@sec.gov. Their mailing address is: SEC Division of Enforcement Complaint Center Mail Stop 7-10 450 Fifth St., NW Washington, D.C. 20549 1-800-SEC-0330 (toll free) 202-942-9570
You should be aware of the possible risks of on-line investing and market analysis. The SEC publishes information on cyber fraud. The NASDR provides analysis on how to invest carefully in the electronic world. The NASAA provides tips on how to avoid online investment schemes aimed at taking advantage of unsuspecting investors. Their websites are instructive and can be found at: http://www.sec.gov // http://www.nasdr.com // http://www.nasaa.org

Our policy is that we will not deliver the contents of private messages to anyone, even when demanded via subpoena. As a user of Investors Hub, understand that this is no guarantee that we won't someday be forced by a court to deliver this information.

Special Rules & Message Deletions
There is only one board allowed, per security. IH Admin reserves the right to remove any board at any time.
Moderators of stock-specific boards are allowed to immediately remove any post for Admin review that falls into the following categories: Duplicate, Personal Attack, Spam. Each hidden/removed post is reviewed by Admin and either left removed or restored.
Moderators of non-stock-specific boards in the Premium parts of the site are allowed to remove any post that falls into the following categories: Duplicate, Vulgarity, Off Topic, Personal Attack, Violation of Privacy, Threat, and Thread Disruption. Each hidden/removed post is reviewed by Admin and either left removed or restored. We do reserve the right to intervene if we see blatant abuse of these features.
The JXM Rule: No posts will be allowed to be removed after a 24-hour period starting from the posts’ timestamp, unless good reason is given to the iHub Administrator. Moderators/founders of premium boards have the ability to ban anybody from their board without any approval or intervention from IH Admin.
Off topic and political boards are largely ran at the whim of the Moderator. Our gravy train is stock discussions, so we put most of our monitoring effort into those boards. We will rarely respond to TOS reports or problems on the political boards unless they become a major problem. What happens on the political boards needs to stay there, and not be dragged to other boards.
Private Messages are not to be posted publicly unless you have permission from the author.
Should you have a post removed, and you disagree, or want to know why, we ask that you take this up with IH Admin (Matt) privately and *not* on the board on which it happened.

If a governmental agency (for example, the Securities and Exchange Commission, law enforcement agencies, US Attorneys' offices or similar governmental agencies) sends us a subpoena, we will comply with it. If we receive a subpoena by a third party that is not a governmental agency (for example, a subpoena in connection with civil litigation), we will attempt to contact the user whose identity has been requested using the contact information the user provided during the registration process. We will wait 10 days after notifying the user before complying with the subpoena by disclosing the identity of the user, unless the subpoena requires us to disclose this information before then. If we cannot wait 10 days because of the deadline in the subpoena, we will advise the user of the deadline included in the subpoena when we provide notice that we received it.
Subpoena Process: If you plan to submit a subpoena to us, please understand the following: 1) There is a $150/hr charge for us to read and/or comply with a subpoena. The minimum fee is $300, plus production expenses. 2) Private messages can not be part of a subpoena or any other kind of inquiry. If you have any questions, please e-mail us. But be realistic with your questions and requests. These lawsuits are a waste of time and nearly always get quashed. Save yourself the expense.
