As you well know Matt, the Internet isn't exactly like the real world yet. Scammers can do things on the Net they can't do in the real world and people getting scammed on the Net have less protection than people who do business with brick and mortar businesses.

This is like the wild wild west where the criminals are always just a little bit ahead of the cops. In this kind of situation the people have to learn to protect themselves and one of the ways they protect themselves is by sharing information about things they have encountered on th Net. Some of the things we encounter make us want to scream and swear so we do. If you don't want us to scream and swear on your website than take away the scammers ability to run scams on us. But don't shut us up and give free reign to the people who are out to scam people.

Another thing ... I consider somebody running a scam on me an ATTACK!! Why are they allowed to do that to me but I am not allowed to retaliate? You should put that in your TOUs ... running a scam is considered an attack and reason for account termination. I bet you will make a killing in sign up fees from all the repeat violaters who run scams. Somebody please show me ONE OTC BB stock that isn't a scam.

Matt, please correct me if I am wrong and have misread and misunderstood your post.

Are you saying then that you are for the commercial sites, the pumpers and dumpers, let them post what they want? You will decide who is the good guy, bad guy even if there are respected people in the community who tell you otherwise.

Then all the posters who are pretty much dummies, naive, stupid, not smart, just learning, babies, if they come to a message board site, get the wrong information, then the heck with them.

Me thinks that you have not experienced life very much to profess to be so wise.

I do wish you the best, but at my age, I can see so much more of what is going on. Perhaps it is because I was once a newbie who needed protection, and it appears to me that you might just want to be protecting folks who are the ones that newbies should be protected from.

Just my opinion and thoughts.

Do not be influenced so much by money as you take the journey through life. You really do not know for sure who your true friends are when you got a lot of it. That is a fact.
