It is what it is, we just have to live with it or go silent and move on.
Oh the irony....that is what every admin has said in one way or another many many times on Ihub...
Here's a last different example by me from a 'user' angle...Although I agree with your sentiment, I feel ihub looks at a general picture most the time.
EX:
I'm a random reader who hits a link from a search engine, stock xxzz and it directs me to that ihub board...I see an 8k and a PR and a 10K plus a shareholder letter. I don't look who posted it, the 8k and PR by pumpnose and the 10K and letter by you. To me its just 4 things to read. I may never come back. Did it matter who posted it? Would anyone CARE who posted it the first few times they visited the site?
I don't search stocks by promoter/irp name.
People who pay to be members and even non paying members such as myself come to care in time...
I also believe advfn/ihub thinks they have to define this stock site in the first handful of clicks, so your depth may not come in to play until one commits to the site.
I think the very fact that one would pay a fee AND disclose puts them way higher than non disclosed or non paying irps.
