Hey Matt. Question for you. First of all, I'm all for disclosure and I think it's great that you are offering posters an opportunity and a means to be in compliance with SEC rules and regs.

However, what if ...what if a poster is paid to post on XYZ stock and not paid to post on ABC stock. If you place the designation of IRP on the "PROFILE", it will appear that the poster is paid on all stocks he mentions because the "icon" will appear on all his posts. I'm quite sure there are times when IRP's mention and/or discuss companies they were not paid to post on.

How do you intend to distinquish the paid posts from the casual conversation posts?

Suggestion: At the bottom of the box where you enter the text for your post, next to "submit public post", "cancel post", and "preview"...maybe put another box "Paid Advertisement"?

That way, the poster can click the "Paid Advertisement" button and THAT will generate the icon being attached to the post. Then, you can set up the posts that are submitted as "Paid Advertisement" to link to disclosure pages...etc.

Just a thought...
