Bob the bottom line is personal boards are not regulated because the moderator is the Chairman and regardless of how you want to change that it is the original concept of IHUB.
Now the stock ticker threads you make a valid argument but for personal you are way out of line.
I swear if the undermining IHUB is successful people will merely pull up stakes and move to SI. Now that is just an onservation but SI has a couple of things:
1. It is a paid site to join and that is not good. 2. However you can start a moderated thread and with that you get a ban feature to shut up who ever you want for whatever the reason you want. 2. SI waited too long to make this feature to try and stop the exodus. 3. You are no longer there, no offense but you were fired and most know you did not like the moderate threads and made waves about the moderated threads where you were helpless to do naything about.
I do not think you will get away with what you are doing but regardless there is a alternative ... After IHUB goes to being a desert once Bobmotized then SI is the alternative and if you come back to SI IHUB will be the alternative. But the reason the old guard is so alarmed is because something is not right here with all this new rules to moderated personal boards. You want to dictate what people will post, how they post and exactly what they will and can do and to insire control eliminate the very thing you hate most, moderated personal threads.
SO I am just waiting to see where home is. However, IHUB does not have a charge to post or join. Plus I believe SI made the moderated as a copying cat of IHUB. But you didn;t like it there and obviously you donot like it here.
