Could very well be. I'm pretty sure OTCMarkets is trying to improve its reputation and that is the reason for the new promotion icon and the revamped shell status warning icons.

"Look everybody, we're legitimate! We're flagging sketchy tickers now!"

Which is fine if done accurately, but I suspect they're perhaps being a bit heavy-handed so they can show "progress".

Boss says Flag every promo'd ticker! Underling flags 3 tickers he received in emails... Boss says That's not enough! Underling finds a dozen tickers on iHub with lots of discussion, flags them without taking the time to observe the conversation... Boss says Nice job! They each pat themselves on the back and call it a day.

That's just my imagination at work, but start observing those shell icons. Some are right on, sure. But I've seen a couple shell warnings on companies late with disclosures that are by no means at huge risk of becoming an empty shell at any moment. They're just late. I wonder if quotas are in play to make it look like progress is being made to the OTC head honchos.

I certainly could be quite wrong.
