why? because someone hyping a stock DOWN and possibly luring innocent lemmings into shorting a 3c penny stock is WORSE, far, far worse than a hypster luring greedy gold diggers into buying a stock with a few loose bucks, looking for fabulous returns to the upside. Anyone blind enough to actually sell short a 3c stock can have "unlimited" financial damage with any upside movement. I was talking with a guy several months back who was afraid that he lost his and his wife's home and all their bank account $$$ by following someone on S.I.'s recommendation to short SKYM a little before before Christmas (I haven't a clue who was recommending the short position). He shorted it at about $5 I believe it was and the stock popped to $48 the day after Christmas. He was liquidated by the broker. All thanks to a pie-in-the-sky "snake oil" short touter.
