SEC Charges Eleven in Stock Manipulation Ring

[tomkin]

The TOU is surely not perfect Phil. A lot of personal discretion will come into the deleting (or leaving) of posts. It's not always black and white. If people pay to promote stock (as I understand it) then we introduce a severe bias too in terms of what might get deleted. Or let's say I have a position in a stock and am a moderator on the stock's board. That is very likely to influence the board's content.

And while I'm on that track: that's why iHub needs certain internal controls perhaps, no dealing or trading for staff etc., basic compliance to protect both staff and the company.

I remember years ago, Clem made the point along these lines: generally few posts are deleted on the UK boards - that's because it opened ADVFN up to accusations (various).

All sorts of issues here.
