Poster Filtering

[Cassandra]

i had a list of names that i sent to all my people for them to put on ignore...you have allowed the disruption of this forum and i am pissed..i wish we never left the raging bull...

IMO, this is the biggest argument against filtering. Stock touts often rope people (their "marks") into investing in some penny stock that they claim will be the next Microsoft. The tout explains all about evil "bashers" who are out to steal money from the marks by scaring them into selling their shares. To avoid having their marks exposed to facts that may challenge the tout's misrepresentations, they almost always issue suggested ignore lists of "bashers" (naysayers / critics) who post the negative aspects of an investment or even the revealing of a scam. IMO, anyone who posts a suggested ignore list is a con artist.

Being overly principle oriented, if I owned iHub, I would rather make a little less money losing the volume from touts and their ignorant marks than helping them deceive the naive.

JMO!
