The Question and Answer Board

[Renee]

BrentJanice : I think that your post expresses the sentiments of many I-Hub participants .

I have the highest regard and respect for Admin members who have individualized my I-HUB experience by responding directly to me on any of my issues . Some of my issues were even trivial but they still took the time to respond .

It does appear to me that I-HUB has become occupied by organized groups of antagonists whose sole , apparent intent is to disrupt targetted threads . The same observation applies to organized pumpers even though their behaviors are temporarily less objectionable ....until they vacate the board they pumped and the organized antagonists appear . **** There is a qualitative and measureable difference between pro stock and negative stock posters who express their entitled opinions a FEW times . It is a contradiction of human inclinations to intercede on behalf of strangers in non life-threatening situations , so the premise of trying to save investors on a message board thread would be just as illogical as placard waving protesters outside of a casino trying to save gamblers from losing their money . It just doesn't happen . Rubbing salt into investors wounds ( ie losses ) would not likely become an obsession , so that is also an implausible reason for the antagonists to swarm a board .

I-HUB is a unique society , almost a microcosm of our general society , even having a cyber Jail to correct the most mal-adaptive behaviors . I have not observed effective interventions by I-HUB Admin to the growing problem of disruptive behaviors by the antagonists after the pumpers have vacated a thread . It would be audacious for me to insinuate that both groups are umbilically connected but the pattern exists nonetheless .

The apparent intervention of post deletions / bans / I-HUB Jail to pro-stock participants who object to the swarming while permitting the antagonists to essentially run amok gives the perception of preferential treatment to the antagonists .
Perception doesn't have to be based on evidence , and negative perceptions typically get a life of their own , as I see happening to the milieu on I-HUB .

I consider myself a tolerant person , so , when I am feeling frustrated beyond my own tolerance levels I can presume that many others are feeling the same intolerable frustration .

One pro-stock poster that I know about has been quarantined to a 3 post limit on a stock thread . Since Admin has that ability it could be a considered action to also quarantine certain antagonists to 3 posts per 24 hour period on the threads they disrupt . Admin would achieve a fair and balanced entitlement for all posters to air their opinions and Admin would also achieve decreased discontent from pro-stock participants .

Disclaimer : Since my admonitions to Admin were not having my desired objective and I could no longer acquiesce to the apparently preferential treatment to the antagonists I decided to resign from my Moderating positions in protest . I have also decided to no longer post on I-HUB until I see effective remedies in place .

A yawner expose on the problem as I see it .
