A lot of quality posters have quit.

I feel sure many out there agree with that. Without naming names, we had, in the past, input from people who added value to the thinking/worry/gratification of us all whether it be product-technical or market or otherwise. Now, it seems mostly poisonous. Just heckling...venting. In my own view...people talking more about themselves, obliquely, than the company.

I have checked with the Ihub administration and they have responded that moderators cannot impose their own rules, but they have considerable latitude in interpreting Ihub rules, the main test being that they are even-handed about what they enforce.

Here are the TOS rules as they relate to this issue in my opinion--

“Moderators of stock-specific boards are allowed to immediately remove any post that falls into the following categories: ***, Off-Topic, Vulgarity, Privacy Violation, ***, Spam, Personal Attack, or Duplicate.
***
By posting information in or otherwise using any communications service, chat room, message board, *** you agree that you will not upload *** information...that: B. Attacks, verbally or otherwise, any other user, the website, any non-public figure, or any agents or employees of iHub;”

insert-text-here:

If these rules were strictly enforced by some moderator (they are not now, IMO)--including the current--would more people feel inclined to contribute to the chat room, or are they just not interested in this place as a source/exchange of information. (If the current moderator--Dread--did not wish to go on he must resign, and Ihub would appoint another volunteer)

Those who would like to have a forum to discuss Torvec without the petty stuff, would you please reply?
