I agree with you Marty. IMO each board should be a separate entity. What one posts on a thread should have no relevance to another thread. I addressed this on the Badbob board. The logistics of enforcing a rule that if you post on a thread you have to post on another thread make it unlikely that the rules can be successfully enforced. At the least it's going to be a royal pain in the butt for both the poster and the COB and directors. SH

this thread is not about stocks. why do you keep telling me I have to post about stocks here?

You don't have to post about stocks "here" as in "this thread". If you post to that other thread, you must also post about stocks on stock threads.

Very simple rule and to put the appropriate fine point on it, if someone's unable to do that, I really don't care what they've got to say about me or this site in much the same way I don't care what someone who's never been on a racetrack thinks of my racing line.

If you can't discuss stocks or the market at all, but can post tons of "info" that's geared only at discrediting or criticizing me or other people, I don't want you here. Clear enough?

The requirement I imposed on that other thread amounts to a minimum of 10% stock discussion for anyone who chooses to use that thread. A ludicrously low number, in my opinion, but my intention is for people to make themselves aware of just how much stock talk they're involved in. And, as a corollary, just how much I should care about what they have to say about my involvement with a stock discussion site.

I don't know. from my viewpoint, this site has been invaded by the si stalkers and harassers that contribute nothing to a discussion except reposting old posts

Consider this a warning. Your post was nothing more than an attempt to continue to use this thread to rail against others, prefaced by a question that you wouldn't have had to ask if you'd really read the rule about stock-related posts in that other thread. Don't persist in this. I'm not feeling terribly generous about such things today.
