Zeev: Tagging their alias in color allows for easy identification of subscription gurus or paid promoters and or bashers. Not because they are doing anything illegal, in some cases maybe immoral....gg

The color coding would help members be more aware of who they are reading, so members can make a more informed decision about what they read by these gurus and paid promoters/bashers. IMO, there is nothing wrong with members being cautious of the possibility of underlying self-promotion motivating the posts.

Sorry Zeev, I can't agree. I have paid to be able to post and read here and I think it is wrong for IHUB to knowingly allow this and especially to allow it and take payment for advertising from these people. I know for a fact this is the case as I have asked Matt in recent history about one such poster. I was pretty much told that as long as they aren't openly advertising/pimping themselves that it is okay, and really okay if they are advertising with IHUB. Certainly lowered my expectations of IHUB. BWDIK... If I want to read insults and/or advertisements I can go to Yahoo or other boards for free. JMO, your mileage may vary!

I pretty much agree with Zeev. We are grown ups.
If someone chooses to join a pay site and then find they do not increase their income as much as they hoped, they can drop the service. They usually offer free trials, which should be used by a 'newbie' before plunking down any cash.
I suggest that if most folks who read these threads have earned enough money to be able to play this trading game, they are probably savvy enough to know if they are getting their money's worth.
If a business does not offer value to it's customers, it does not survive.
I think we should leave the boards to stocks and not become a police force...

As for me, I have never run a pay site or received any remuneration. I'm just a trader trying to make a buck and enjoying the boards for info and camaraderie.

Beware of people who what control in the name of good,
for they get use to it and start to control more.IMHO.

Our founding fathers knew that very very well.
