It's always been that way. People are discussing the company and those who run it. It's no different than people who praise management.

Company principals are fair game.

Other posters are not.

Wait a week. Soon every IHub member will be able to "slander", "libel" and "defame" each other!!
Wooo-Hooo !

Why are posters on the LWLG board allowed to accuse LWLG management of being a scam operation, calling management fraudsters, and continually make slanderous statements about the companies board of directors and CEO ? This has been going on for years yet these posters slanderous statements are allowed to remain as posters.

[IH Geek [Dave]]

You mean libelous (written) not slanderous (spoken).

And you omitted an important adjective: allegedly

That is a matter between the allegedly libeled parties, the poster(s) and a court of competent jurisdiction. We are not arbiters of truth and do not assess what is true or false, and by extension what is or is not libelous. If and when a court finds certain content to be defamatory or otherwise actionable and issues a ruling and order to that effect, we would take such an order under advisement. It's worth nothing that under current law, US-based interactive computer services cannot be ordered to to remove defamatory content, though they can certainly do so if they wish.

Because that is their opinion. You may not value it, but presumably others do. Message boards of this kind are not intended to have only cheerleaders as participants.
