Motivations to be Mod -
Requiring both "pro" and "con" mods seems to create another problem. There are some people out there that are neutral, too.
Pro mods can be pumpers, but most are really wanting to understand the stock, even though they can be less than objective at times, but they have a valid reason for posting on the board.
Con mods, try as I might. I can only think that they would have one reason to take the mod position, and that would be to oppose the stock. In the case of pennies, retail doesn't really short, so it seems that those in opposition would be mostly pros.
Not a good balance either....
