The member himself decides upon applying.
There would be 2 options upon signing up or applying
"for". or "against"
And if you really believe mods are some times neutral then create a third group
2 spots "for". 2 "against". 2 "neutral"
It wouldnt hurt to do that and certainly beats the current biased system.
and if they change their minds after they becomes mods, on your end you just have to make sure they are not allowed to be "for" the company while advertising information in the ibox or stickies that is "against" the company/stock
If they flip flop they can resign.
at that point if no spots exist on the other side, if they are all taken, they can send a msg to a moderator on that side to add information to the ibox (as it is today when all are mod spots are taken).
Admin just has to make sure they arent signed up on mod group "for" while using ibox/stickies to advertise "against". and if a mod was silly enough to attempt it i am sure an ihubber or two would notify you guys.
we are talking about a rare event though.
so this proposal certainly creates equality especially in comparison to the current system.
it is a hot topic on all the active boards dominated by mods on one side whether those mods are for or against.
Posters dont want an unjust system that allows the opportunity for full blown propaganda or full blown truth (which is many times false truths that a mod with an agenda is creating)
Again the advertisements should be an equal opportunity, so there should exist an equal number of spots for each side imo.
Thank you.
Adding to post 171243, i also want to say that IF a mod were considering changing position, he/she certainly wouldnt be able to breach the whole point of this, which is, the information he chooses to post in the info box and sticky posts. If you sign up as "for" you can NOT use the space availabe for advertisement (ibox and sticky) to advertise "against". vice versa.
in my last post in response to Janice i believe we were discussing a mod who could sign up on one side and then change his mind and potentially post on the msg board his new views. not only would that be a rare event, but it also wouldnt affect the whole point of this.
again please Admin, i ask for you to weigh the options here and decide which is best.
Thank you.
So why should one board have 5 or lots times all 6 mods who are on the same side... who gang up and dominate the info posted for the companies? ihub is like the heart beat that actually determines the trading volume and perception of many of these companies, so it does have a big impact for or against. the info allowed in ibox and stickies needs to be an equal opportunity if its going to exist. This is common sense isnt it?
Thank you.
Some times perhaps but there would still exist an equal number of openings for future supporters, opposed to a biased life time position for whoever signs up first. which as we all know, often results in all mods on the same side of the fence. Not fair! Biased info boxes and sticky posts is a problem. Should be improved at the least, not covered up and excused.
It is very unlikely but if they change their mind they can simply resign and/or voice a geniune concern. there is a noticeable difference between realism verses an agenda.
And then there is a matter of those who would try to "trick" the format but as i said earlier very few people would try to trick the system, its a waste of time and even if they did... their posts would have to be "double talk" or able to be interpreted either way, which no one has respect for or time to decipher. Silly any mod who would try it.
So still this idea eliminates the serious biased that exists right now
Many info boxes contain negative information about companies as well (whether truthful or not. not all negative info is true based on the research i've done on some of the boards) and many boards consist of 5 or 6 anti-company moderators. so it goes both ways... it shouldn't be unbalanced like this. I think it is some kind of sick joke to be honest. It should just be equal mod spots available for each side.
and in fact, what would qualify them to do so in the first place? Someone depending on board moderators to provide them with balanced due diligence has no business sticking money into the stock market anyway.
The moderators add the key information to the ibox and sticky posts; which many people refer to, to do their research.
This key information should NOT be one sided like it is on many of the boards dominated by one group of mods (many times consisting of nothing more than untruthful, biased information) It's not fair to anyone, especially the company, the investors, and potential investors. And vise versa, many boards mods are all in favor of the company, so key information is left out in that regard too, which is not fair to unsuspecting investors, current investors, etc. (see my last post)
I do agree with you that it is also a moderators responsibility to maintain peace between the posters, submit TOUs, delete the posts, etc... this is probably the most important mod task in the eyes of Admin.
But what I am discussing is the much bigger moderator issue for THE PEOPLE who use this website. They need a balanced information feed from moderators IMO, and so to do that, each board must contain an equal number of moderators on each side: "for" or "against".
Thank you.
In other words more meaningless tasks for Amdin to referee over.... lol
Thank you but that does not in any way address my post... It's pretty obvious the moderators create the infobox, but I've suggested a way to establish
1. all viewers will know which side each moderator is on (for or against the company's interests)
2. equal slots will be available for each side, thus, it will be balanced. As it is now, there may be 4, 5 or 6 moderators who are on one side, and then the infobox (and sticky posts), in many cases, only feature one side of the story (esp. when 5 or 6 mods are on the same side)
Going back to my last post, i believe my idea balances the situation... that if integrated would lead to happier posters and less controversy on the boards!
Thank you.
Would it not be fair if the message board moderator section was split into two groups?
One moderator group would be pro-company. The other mod group would be "anti" company. And all users would see which side each of the mods were on.
This would balance the equation so to speak in that X-amount of slots would be available for those in favor [of the company), and X-amount of slots would be available for those not in favor.
Just something I noticed on the site... it seems things can get a little one sided in the "i-box" sections and it creates a controversy between the posters.
Thanks for your time.

SOCR announces new... using Bitcoin virtual currency.
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Solpower Corporation, Symbol (OTC Pink: SOCR) today announced that it has created an innovative platform that uses Bitcoin, a virtual currency, to achieve truly anonymous billing and flexible bill payment options to alternative healthcare providers like medical marijuana distributors and holistic or spiritual healers who would benefit from accepting payments outside of the traditional banking system.
The new platform, called Bitcoin Collect is based on the company's popular Medcare Collect system, but instead of using pre-authorized ACH, debit, and credit card payments, the system is built around a virtual currency called Bitcoin. Like Medcare Collect, the system has the main benefit of allowing healthcare professionals to care for patients that may not be able to pay up-front for their services without fear of default, and without credit checks by setting up a series of automatic payments that are scheduled to avoid default. However, by integrating the system with the use of Bitcoin, the company has added complete anonymity to the billing process, which would appeal to alternative healthcare providers who traditionally had to deal in cash for regulatory or for privacy reasons.
Solpower's CEO and President, Charles Neinstedt, explained,"This is a breakthrough for a whole section of the healthcare industry. Providers that are not accepted by mainstream medicine and insurance companies, or that people just do not want to appear on their bank statements, had no options in the past. These providers help millions of people every year, and now those people can get that help securely and privately with the added benefit of being able to pay off the expense of these treatments over time, and without a credit check. I think we are doing something really big here."
The company has also started the integration of Bitcoin into their existing Medcare Collect system, as a back up payment method, which they expect to roll out in just a few months. Mr. Neinstedt claims this is the first and only solution of it's kind, and that because of the flexibility, privacy and security, it will be the leader in alternatives to traditional health insurance in the near future.

Good luck, and nice screen name!
It really is a shame the good penny stocks are with no volume, while the scams get all the action.
If only we lived in a world where good was good, and bad was bad, TEMN would be quite the investment to look forward to.
If the 4 year longs who were scammed all along by this POS CEO didn't use this pump opportunity to get out of this POS with some return on their lost money. Well, truly bcap is the blind leading the blind.
