Recently, I made a humble attempt to engage the folks on Raging Bull on a board they have called Suggestions. (Accessible under the symbol SUGG there).
I tried to effectively communicate with the "powers that be" on that board and wished to ask them questions of their slow load times and how they go about monitoring their boards.
ALL TO NO AVAIL! I got not one response from a legitimate RB person. And I watch the board each day since then and all I see are posts of the same type. Posters on RB wishing DRASTICALLY to communicate with the folks at RB.
And nothing happens. No RB people ever respond there.
This current discussion of whether the JAIL board at IHUB should become hidden from view of the daily reader of IHUB is an interesting one. My two cents says that the JAIL feature of IHUB is one of the most unique aspects that IHUB has going for it.
Think for a moment. How would you feel in real life if you lived in a city or town that had no Police Force? How would you feel if that were true and something terrible happened to you like being threatened, or accused of something that was not true, and you had NO POLICE FORCE to represent you and protect you?
Carried to its' furthest extreme, you'd have Anarchy.
Thus, there would be no society. No "civil" place to live.
And the same is true on the Internet. Whether in real life or in CyberSpace there remains a need for civil interaction. To eliminate the JAIL board from the list of active boards on IHUB would be akin to striking the News Media in the Real World from ever announcing that citizens had broken the laws of the land. In real life, if we never had the opportunity to hear how civilians had broken the laws of society, it is quite obvious that lawlessness would run rampant. Think Afghanistan for a recent reference in real life.
No, the Jail Board at IHUB must not, should not, and cannot be hidden from the view of the General "SOCIETY" of InvestorsHub.com. It is, in and of itself, part of what makes IHUB a safe, sane, civil, and sensible place to "CYBERLIVE!"
Suggesting the hiding of the Jail Board would only serve to cover up, tuck away, and hide, the problems that IHUB was developed to overcome as an Investor's Message Board. If we ever hope to have a sensible safe and communal place to congregate, in my humble opinion, the Jail Board at IHUB must remain visible at all times, to all posters, for all reasons.
