the chat room was set up as a private one with about 10 people 5 years ago. We treated each other with respect and a lot of talk went into the idea of letting others into the room as we were a bit worried they may spoil it.

For the most part is has worked out well but there have been a few who we get too many complaints about.

Then there were a few who are what we call on message boards, bashers, who's purpose is not being kind to others. We do not operate a Yahoo type place where people can be like that.

To say a stock has broken support is fine as we do it ourselves and show it on charts. To come into a room and say it every 30 minutes and talk of nothing else or do it every day is not helpful to anyone and that type of person gets us lots of complaints from users and we warn them and if needed ban them. Only a few people out of many hundreds did this happen to. (those are the type who then run here and bash us saying they were banned - in other words they repeat the same type of behavior here)

Some days we have 80 people in the room and we have to be rather strict about how each treat the others and it has worked out very well for the past couple of years. People say what they want and most learn not to swear and to treat others with respect.

Anyone that doubts that this is needed just set up your own room with no rules and see what happens.

We have some serious people and some part time people in the chat but they learn to get along well and they benefit a lot. We do not accept those who are there for other purposes.

Last week we had 27 stocks from our watch list hit their trade points. That is a lot of eyes on charts and no time for those who want to cause trouble.

Many have been around for years so it is not those who talk of broken support or of certain stocks that give any troubles.

Only a few. Keeping a room like that professional is what has made it popular.
