I thought not too long ago, I think there was a link where you could add a boardmark without adding it as a favorite. I only remember this as I recall being peeved when I gave a board a mark by mistake as the link seemed too close to another link, or something to that effect.
... and I could be mistaken.

So in your world, investor interest has no relationship to the stock? That is completely relevant to the stock. I understand if every other post talks about the same thing, but a boardmark post is usually a one or two word post that doesn't even get clicked.

Just not following the logic, and again, if they were not important they would not have a particular placement on the page. Did you have anything to do with that placement? If not I would like to hear from someone who actually sat down and made that type of decision. I thought that was the purpose of the Q&A board.

True if people are marking the boards of stocks they are not interested in ? Otherwise, it is a metric that is an indication of interest, at least ?

If I say I have no problem with efforts to keep the focus on the stock, and off of the metrics on the board itself... then there is value added by removing all the metrics associated with boards that make them "Hot!" ???

I think it matters or it does not... and it seems a problem if it matters to IHub enough to measure it and use it, but "doesn't matter enough" that investors can even mention it ?

Include the tools you use to measure things that relate to the stock, interest in it, and the trend in interest as well as the nature of the interest ? I care what short interest is. Just as I care if no one else cares, as where there is a board where there has never been a post, as I also care if everyone on the board is aware...

Perhaps the best, if not the easiest way to deal with it, would be to display the dynamic count and trend, rather than the static count, so that there would be no utility in mentioning it only to draw attention to what is already obvious.

I type fast. My critics are probably glad you measure board marks instead of word count... Number of posts, too, is a measure that can be and is deliberately manipulated ? The six paragraphs here could become six posts ? If there isn't any value in the content... will it not become self limiting ?
