From the iHub handbook:

The iBox

This is where the Board is introduced to other Users.

However; insofar as their Moderator privileges are concerned, it is not the Moderators’ role to promote bullish or bearish sentiment, to guide the "tone" of the content along any particular investment sentiment, or to favor one investment sentiment over another.

------------------------------------------------------------------

IMO, refusing to create a useful iBox with basic information is a way of "promoting sentiment" and influencing how other users are introduced to the board. Unfortunately some go beyond subtle promotion and into the egregious by selectively choosing content that only bolsters a moderator's preferred viewpoint. Like this one for example: Axxess Pharma, Inc.(AXXE).

In a time perishable environment, this type of worm can be just as destructive as one in a post because it lives a lot longer. But like you said, it is what it is.
