RB seems to have added the feature without much fanfare. I only know about it because I post on a few boards that decided to create a moderated thread. I think it's a really stupid idea. If you can't deal with "detractors" then you shouldn't post.

Hi Jack, I just found out about the "moderated thread" business this morning. I can't f#### a believe it. IMO, I think a lot of thread icons have squeeze around here. They don't want detractors. Because, IMO, most that put their name on their thread header have a personal agenda.. Info seems to lead to personal web sites, then pay sites, then conferences etc.. Personal financial gain IMO from a business other than trading and investing. Most IMO, that do this are not worth following anyway, because of their experience and ability.. But THEY can sucker lurkers and Newbies for awhile.. AND with NO DETRACTORS, WOW a license to print money.. I'm going to watch this play out for awhile.. AND if it continues and is abused, I will kiss em good bye. Censorship of any type, IMO, is the road to ruin.. for any collective group.. We will see coug
