It would seem with the lack of adequate disclosure and no way to force disclosure without violating TOU, then if an IRP starts posting on a particular stock board other posters should assume the IRP is there because he(she) is being compensated to promote the company. We all know this is not always true, but to protect yourself wouldn't it be prudent to assume the worst? I know many of us get stock promotions in their mailboxes all the time. If I see something that might be interesting, the first place I go to is the disclaimer. If I see compensation for promotion in it I immediately hit the delete button. Too many pump and dumps operating out there.
Bottom line here to me is the lack of adequate disclosure could backfire and eventually make all IRP posts suspect and do them harm unjustly.
