"Apparently my suspension on SI was extended an extra 5 weeks because of a comment I made here on IHUB. Do you think it's fair."
I don't know the whole story, but it seems, if what you say is true, that SI has it's share of issues with fairness in TOU enforcement. It's not an easy job and not always clear cut.
Why not just hang around here on Ihub? Personally, I've found it the best place to be... good people... good management... good discussions!
Sara
Hi Poet,
Two things... first I hope you start up the Options board again. Second, I found Vince's account of his SI suspension interesting especially in view of the fact that recently there was a long discussion here about fairness of board management on Ihub.
Sara
BoP -
"I wouldn't even list those banished because they shouldn't gain any fame for their inappropriate actions."
I think you bring up an excellent point here. Emphasize, acknowledge and reward positive behavior, remove all priviledges for a short period for inappropriate behavior... same as parenting techniques (from Parent Project - program which I recommend to anyone, especially those with teens).
Sara
Also, I just got a notice that a new "strong buy" was added to the analyst ratings (via Ameritrade).

I'm not sure I understand... but TEVA is up 3.75 (5%) this morning. Can someone explain how the ADR conversion works?

Teva launches $300 mln 20-yr convertible
JERUSALEM, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Israeli generic drug maker Teva Pharmaceutical Industries said on Wednesday its unit, Teva Pharmaceutical Finance N.V., launched its offering of $300 million of 0.75 percent 20-year convertible senior notes.
The notes will be convertible into Teva's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) at a conversion price of $85.824 per ADR, reflecting a premium of 28 percent from Tuesday's closing share price of $67.05.

Good solution for expanding the unread link and congrats on the increase in page hits!
Sara : )
"Thoughts...?"
I like the part about three times and then you are booted. And I like the idea of some sort of system to rate posters or posts (preferably posts).
btw, I just used the new Report TOS feature... let me know if you don't receive it.
Sara : )
ooooo...
I taut I taw a puthy cat...

re "Flaws I've seen with new Favorites.."
You've accomplished a lot in a short time, thanks! And I'm really looking forward to the moving of "remove".
You may have answered this before, but is full text search working? under construction? any plans?
Enjoy dinner!
Sara : )
p.s. I agree with your stance on cursing... I prefer not to see it, but the bottom line is that it mostly reflects poorly on those who resort to it.

"You can click the "new posts" number and it will take you to the first unread message (where you left off last time). Might need a bit of testing before it's perfected, though."
Yes! Yes! Yes! Seems to be working great for me. Thank you.
"JXM, I'm not to keen on the location of those either. I'll work on it. I needed to fix people from slipping and hitting public when they meant private or vice versa. Has happened way too much lately."
Yes, I agree with JXM... I'm always hitting the private message button when I mean to use the respond.
Sara : )
"A CoB actually trying to play fair"
Thanks : )
Have a great day!
Sara
Thanks! I'll check it out and ask around work today if people are familiar with it... could be very interesting if they really did come up with something that doesn't need updates.
Sara : )
Good Morning! Sara : ) eom
I'm impressed... but would like to check it out... do you have a link to their site?
Sara
I'm a little behind catching up reading here... so I apologize if this has already been covered...
If you have virus protection software, you have to get updates for it on a regular basis. I use Norton and it automatically prompts me when I need to get an update and it does it all for me. I'd say it updates on average at least once a week. Some of the older versions you need to go get the updates.
Hope that helps!
Sara : )
p.s. you could then also feature most recommended (yeah) posts on the Hot! page... or possibly feature it on the home page.
I'd like to see a way to rate posts, both yeah and nay... kind of a community way to agree or disagree with a post. Each post would have counts for the number of each it has gotten.
Sara
"Go to a post that has several replies or perhaps a board where there is much conversation. AT the bottom right of the post, you'll see "View Replies" .. If you click that, it will list all the replies to that message. Then you can continue to follow the conversation by clicking the other View Replies. Works very well for active conversations and also speeds things up."
Sounds great to me! I'll definitely check that out.
"It gets sent to me. Often times, CoB's aren't around. Plus, I can guage how effective the CoB system is and it opens up a voice for those who arne't the CoB. It's a test of various different things."
Sounds like a good idea.
"The JailHouse will be fun once the markets heat up and people start going psycho. <g>"
LOL... How about a "three strikes" rule like in California?
Sara : )
JXM,
Well it looks like we common grounds for agreement. I also feeling strongly about people not being allowed to harvest information from links to their personal sites. But I have to add that Mary is the only one that I know of that has talked about doing it and who threatens people with that information.
Here she is claiming to know who is listed at my address and prying to get personal information about my kids:

Sara
1) A slimmed-down, faster 'read message' page. (Current one is too slow)
I'm on a dialup and IHub is already the speadiest of RB, SI, or Yahoo by a long shot! You've done a great job already on that.
2) More organized Reply viewing (my favorite)
Not sure what this is about.
3) A TOS Violation function (because it's needed)
How do you envision that working? Is it for reporting TOS to you? to the COB?
4) A working Jailhouse
Can we have a lynching? LOL... Just kidding.
Sara : )
"Please always post links to sources of information. This was easy to find. Posts that make reference to information that can be backed up by links and especially where that information is not presented in it's entirety, will be deleted."
Matt overrode this rule and restored posts removed based on my comment. The rule has been repealed by Matt.
Mary is widely known for her tactic of grabbing ISP information and using it to intimidate posters. I have several good examples of Mary herself talking about it. Go check out my post on the ASTN board providing one example. I knew what John had said was true so I let the post stand. It is now proven.
The reason I posted the rule of not discussing deletions from the board is being demonstrated by you and your posts. It is extremely unproductive for a COB to have to explain every action on every post to a poster who's intent on disruption.
Sara
From the horses mouth:
http://messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=FN&action=m&board=4687979&tid=astn&sid=4687979&...
I have many more examples. If you are interested, I'll PM the links to you.
"I have no way of knowing who is deleting the messages unless either you or muelhead tells me. My post was to muelhead because he sent me a PM telling me that he deleted it."
The post I responded to from you was not addressing that single post but had a list of posts that had NOT been deleted. Since both Muel and I can delete posts, it addressed both of us.
"That says to me that you recognise that my post didn't violate the stated rules of the thread."
Wrong assumption. I always felt that post violated the rules. You were ridiculously picking at the rules and looking for loops holes not explicitedly stated. You've admitted that was your intent. I simply clarified the rule, not changed the basic intent or meaning of it.
It's like a kid challenging his parents... parents rule: "No cursing in this house"... child goes out front door and curses... child: "but you said "no cursing in this house!"". So parent clarifies meaning: "no cursing inside or outside this house".
Sara
"I made no comments to or about you until you posted to me."
But you did make comments about me when you made comments about how the ASTN board was being managed:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=157937
Which I responded to in my first post to you:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=157940
And, as BoP mentioned, that post in question remains deleted.
Sara
p.s. sorry posted this first at PM
"BTW, you directed much venom at muelhead and sara for that deleted post, yet it remains deleted. Which means that Matt, who has the ultimate final answer on a posts deletion, agrees with the the decision to delete that post."
Thanks for reminding everyone how this all started.
Sara : )
Very eloquent BoP. eom
ROFL!!!

"Poster shows INTENT"
As usual, your analysis is right on target!
Sara : )
Matt,
Thanks for adding the "outbox" feature. I love it!
Sara : )
"...if you want respect you must give it first."
You hit the nail on the head with that one!
Sara : )
Here it is... and you have been doing that ever since:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=157888
"No sarals, you didn't make it clear that vulgarity was off limits. There is a difference between "off limits" and "Prefer"."
Then I hope I have since made it more clear... although it's not that big a deal. After being over on RB and Yahoo a person gets desensitized to it... but I still prefer Matt's previous policy of no obscenities... including the words you mentioned.
As for your continued dispersions to my character, I will not address them. I am happy to let others judge for themselves by reading my posts. As we all have room for improvement, those who offer friendly constructive criticism will be listened to... those with agendas will not.
Sara
It's too bad you can't see the substantial difference in that post that has a very sick accussation about a parent's intentions towards his child in it... one that goes way beyond decency. And the fact that you claim you are here to defend her rights to being treated fairly gives you zero credibility. She is the most unfair and unscrupulous poster I have ever run into on the net. The fact that ASTN is suing her demonstrates many others believe she has gone over the line in her postings.
In spite of all that, I believe that Matt especially, and most others here on IHub, try to treat her fairly even when she has repeatedly broken the rules... even when she's made her intentions clear that she wants to challenge the rules here on IHub.
That's what this is really all about, isn't it?
Sara
Then I can assume that you disapprove of that post, glad to hear that.
Sara
"I consider family to be off limits."
Then why did you even bother to respond to his comment? The smart thing would to have let it pass without gracing it with importance. That's why I asked if there may have been some truth to it.
Furthermore, I believe it's relevance has to do with the study of psychology, a science... why you do the things you do has a lot to do with how you were raised.
Lastly, I made it clear that I believed vulgarity was off limits... and yet you had no qualms whatsoever in posting to me in that manner.
Sara
