I like your idea, in addition how about a "funny" category? I have a few people bookmarked just because they are humorous.

How about if we bookmark them and rate them on an intelligence scale from 1 to 10. 10 being informative and intellectual, reasonable, understanding, and just an all around nice person. OK now that we have no one rating a 10, the 1 is the pest, argumentative, antagonistic, pump and dumper, smart alec, egotistical self centered jerk, and just plain nasty. OK anyone that gets above a 5 will be nominated for sainthood.

i like your ideas. clearly some people have threads bookmarked for the same reason they slow down to look at a car wreck. <g3> doesn't mean car wrecks are desirable, does it? i especially like the suggestion about the option of making oneself ineligible for the list. :) mark

How about one more button to add to those three. It's only one more button but it could prove quite helpful especially on these types of boards. The fourth button could be called the SCAMMER INDICATOR rated on a scale of 0 to 10 . . . the lower the number the more honest the poster is . . . 0 could be "hey this guy might be a candidate for sainthood" 1 could be your typical good guy poster with a slight bias based on his position long or short. 2 could be slightly excited shareholder or short seller. 3 to 6 could be your typical spammer type or overly aggressive short seller with questionable tactics 7 could be "this guy is most likely a paid tout or a hired short selling basher" 8 to 9 could be "this person is definitely being watched by the FBI" 10 could be "what the hell is taking the FBI so long to arrest this guy?" What do you think? Lola:)
