If you have two threads for a stock, one for the bullish perspective, and one for the bearish, can a bearish post be removed from the bullish thread because it's "off-topic"? Arguably so, and it'd be a strong argument.

Yes. Two threads one bullish and one bearish is the only way I can see for the COB concept to work.
1) The COB will have a financial interest in seeing the price of the stock go up. He will want to delete any negative posts. There is no way around this, it will happen.
2)If the COB power to delete negative posts is taken away. Posting wars will then start as each side bullish and bearish try to bury each others posts.
3) Personal attacks will start and you will be working 24/7 to try and restore order. Or IH will become another RB.

So the only way to have bearish comments on a stock is to have a bearish thread IMO.
1)Bearish posts on the bull thread are off topic and bullish posts on the bear thread are off topic.
2) This would also make it easier for a new investor to get info also. They could quickly go to the bull thread and get the positive side and go to the bear thread and get the negative side. Without have to read through 100`s of BS fighting posts between bulls and bears that say nothing.

And if a person has the bullish thread bookmarked and a bearish thread is added later, do they know there's a separate thread out there for the bearish perspective?

Is there no progaming language to do this? Tie the bull thread and bear thread together?
