The Question and Answer Board

[fourkids_9pets]

matt

i love the idea.. i'm sure it will be tweaked over time ..
but to have an *icon* next to those promoters' names ..
is a great start ..

one of the few positives i've found on ihub ..
is the ability to *track* promoters whether they've disclosed
or not .. all one has to do is check out the boards and who
is modding .. quality stocks is a perfect example ..

i also think having everyone check off -- if they are
compensated <doesn't matter if it's an shill or a hedgie
troll> as long as they are compensated in some *format*
on a form <and i'd make it retroactive to every ihubber>
makes sense to me as well -- and it shouldn't matter if
one is a free acct or a paid sub .. no one posts without
checking off the yes or no ..

i came to ihub after almost 7 years on yahoo .. and
i've never found a sense of *community* here <as a matter
of fact after my first 9 months.. most of my fellow longs
began posting to an alternative venue> ... i will say one
thing i am grateful to ihub for .. is i had no idea how
rampant the shills and trolls were on stock msg blogs
until ihub .. on yahoo <due to their unlimited ignores>
i just put the most obnoxious <of either stripe> on ignore

in my time here on ihub
i've been accused of being a promoter <i'm not>

i've also been both ihub stalked and cyber stalked
via my email to my yahoo acct from *ihubbers* which
truly astonished me .. after all we are all adults making
decisions .. why in the world is my *investing* in a
fully complaint pink worthy of such vitriol ..

as a comparison .. in almost 7 years of posting on yahoo
i never had one *issue* ..

so if you want a sense of community to be reestablished
my suggestion would be to boot those who are less than
*civil* .. especially when *proof* has been forwarded on
to you .. and other admin ..

and since it does *appear* that multi id's are the norm

i'd make one other point .. i have one id .. and
it's essentially the same on other stock mgs blogs ..
and because i only have one id .. i actually care about
the *content* and *veracity* of my posts .. <as to the
format .. folks love it or hate -- folks who hate it
should put me on ignore .. if they are so easily offended>

i understand the tou and in one way it's quite clever
however to have zero consequences for those who consistently
lie .. <doesn't matter to me which side> especially if it's
a repeat *pattern* offender .. should also be reviewed

you have folks who *live* to deliberately create fud .. or
noise .. add no value to the *honest dialog* and just post
to harass .. and they tend to operate via tag team efforts

but -- they are also easily *tracked* .. are they any different
from those who *front load* .. and run the promotion ---
in one way no .. because i suspect both are *compensated*
but they have different end goals ..

like others have posted .. there is a difference between
investing and trading .. some of us are actually investors
it's not for everyone ... but it's why i and the other true
*investors* .. i've stumbled across <few for sure> on ihub
spend our time on just a few boards .. <another topic>

here's another thought .. so one poster or a group of posters
don't *take over* a board for whatever reasons .. if one is
a paying member limit every person to 15 posts per day --
that should get point across <obviously i'm talking stock msg
boards .. none of the premium ones>

if one is a free member .. limit that poster to just 5 posts
per day ..

but whatever decisions .. admin makes .. make them consistent
across the board

there are some very petty and vindictive folks here ..

which when i first came here to ihub .. i couldn't understand it

i sure do now ..

i hope you do something matt .. imo ihub will be *better* off
for it .. than it is now ..

good luck to you
