Did you really mean that? Now I'm even more confused about what the rules of IHub are.
To be perfectly honest, I'm at least as confused as you are at this point. I thought that the only rules in place were the written ones. The whole "unwritten rule" thing has always made me a bit queasy no matter where I encounter it.
When you were talking about
allowing the Clowns thread to do there thing here I got the impression that there would be no free-for-all threads.
That was my impression, as well, and it might've been a good time for me to have been made aware that my "Sure they're welcome here but the rudeness gets left at the door" bit was running counter to reality.
So where are the personal threads? How do I know that a given thread is a personal thread and not a market thread?
I'm not aware of it being covered in the rules, so here's my understanding, FWIW:
If it's not in the "Canadian Stocks", "OTCBB", or "Listed and Nasdaq" categories, AND no company ticker was keyed into the "Ticker" field when the thread was created, it's a personal thread.
I am still unclear on what all the implications of that are, so this, too, is my understanding, FWIW:
If it's a "Personal Thread" by the definition above, then the chairman or director can choose to delete or not delete posts as they see fit and deletions or non-deletions cannot be appealed to the Admin (myself) because the Admin will not intervene in any way.
This is the way I currently understand it. Please don't anyone ask me my opinions on this any further as they are currently of no consequence. I am just putting in writing (so we'll at least have it SOMEWHERE) what the whole "personal thread" thing means.
Matt, if this understanding is in any way incorrect, here is where you should correct it since what I've written here is "the rules" until we hear differently from those who make the rules.
