Personal Attack
- This is when someone attacks one or more members personally rather than the content of that Member's message. The post does not have to be addressed to the "target" of the attack to be considered a Personal Attack. If it attacks a messenger rather than the message, it qualifies for deletion and it is expected that Moderators will remove it.
Off Topic
- Posts about or focusing on other Members or groups of people and their reasons for posting on the board (i.e. "XYZDownDaDrain" is just a basher, ignore him", "XYZToDaMoon" is a pumper", "the naysayers are very loud today", "c'mon, where did all the cheerleaders go?"). The post does not have to be addressed to a specific person. If the post is about other Users then it should be removed.
- Posts with religious or political statements should be removed as "off topic". These inevitably create an avalanche of replies that are off topic as well.
- Posts about Moderators and/or deletions are also "off topic". Issues of this nature need to be discussed with a Site Admin: .
Spam
- Posting the same or almost identical post more than twice within a calendar day i.e. "where's the PR?", "anyone seen the PR?", "thought there was going to be a pr today?", "geez, is the pr coming out today or not?";
I want to continue reminding people of the iHub rules including guidelines for Deletions and Restorations which can be found here:

Here are some exerts from that section that you may find useful:
Are replies to deleted posts supposed to be removed, too?
A good rule of thumb is that if the post can "stand alone" within the TOS, it should remain
This Poster is making libelous claims against our company and its officers! Why can't I remove these posts?
Moderators and Site Admins do not determine that Member posted content is libelous. Users are often of the opinion that a post is libelous, but no Moderator should act based on that opinion. Libel is decided by a judge in a court of law after conducting proper evidentiary hearings.
This guy is just being annoying! What can I do?!
Being "annoying" is not a TOS violation and is very subjective. If his/her posts don't violate the TOS, please don't remove them.
This person lost money here and is very bitter. All he ever posts is negative stuff about the company and the "longs" are sick of it.
Members are allowed to post on the board(s) of their choice as long as they stay within the Terms of Use. Being positive or negative about a company is not a requirement for any Free Zone boards and messages should not be removed on this basis.
This guy is just posting lies; the stuff he says about the company is NOT true. Why can't I delete those posts?
As a Moderator, your role is to enforce the Terms of Use, not make decisions about the veracity of the information posted. Truth" is a very subjective term and neither Site Admin nor Mods remove posts based on judgments of this type. Each reader has both the right and obligation to decide for themselves if they feel a post is accurate and its author credible.
A Member just posted some great dd (due diligence) on the company and in the very last line he called another Poster an idiot for his previous posts. If the majority of the post is okay, why do I have to delete it?
If a post is 99% on topic and 1% personal attack it still needs to be removed. Personal attacks in any form are disrespectful of others and are unwelcome on the site.
This guy never backs up anything he says with proof. We continuously ask for links and he never replies.
Members do not have to provide "proof" when offering their opinions. There is no requirement for Users to substantiate their posts. Veracity of posts and credibility of the author is determined by the reader.
This one guy always changes people's aliases usually to something derogatory. The rest of the post is on topic but this just causes problems.
Users should use the correct alias when addressing another User.
