If the post is on a stock specific board it is OT because the post is about the IRP and not about the company.

"Why is it considered off topic to ask an IRP who has disclosed a paid promotion of XXXX stock why they don't include the "Investor Awareness Disclosure" on each iHub post about XXXX?"

I couldn't agree more - I've had the same happen to me on several occasions.

I've even seen "IRPs" write that because a particular post they made was their own belief - needless to say a positive one - and not what they were specifically told to say by their client, that they didn't need to post the disclosure. When pointed out on the MB so that other posters can be aware of the conflict, these posts get Admin deleted too.

It makes no sense.

We've already had this discussion:

"It says right in this guy's disclaimer that he's been paid to promote the company I'm in. But he never has the disclaimer in his posts!"

That may be an oversight on his part, so you might mention that to him via PM if you are a Premium Member. If you do not have PM privileges, you can ask an Admin to relay the message for you.

In any event, any legal requirement to disclose is a matter for duly empowered regulatory agencies; iHub does not enforce those requirements. If you believe there is a material failure to disclose here or anywhere else, then you have the option of contacting the appropriate agency.
