OJW -- I'm not involved with suspensions or community administration. I'd suggest asking SI Admin Jeff, who handles these. As you may know, however, it is our policy not to discuss the details of suspensions with anyone but the offending member. 1...why cant you respond to my questions in the first place. I'm not involved with member suspensions and don't know the details of this one. I can say that when a question is posed about someone's suspension on SI, I sometimes ask Jeff why it happened, and it's always for a good reason. Because SI doesn't debate suspensions publicly, it oftens seems to users that a suspension is unfair. Of course, that's because the argument is one-sided. 2...do you have a business agreement with jenna, marketgems or pristine No. 3...why is si changing a threads content, header names ect. There are four pieces of content for each discussion thread. "Forum" -- SI Admins will change a subject's forum at a user's request if a subject could be better categorized, or if we feel it's miscategorized. "Subject Title" -- Normally, we will change a title at a user's request. If a title is misleading or appears to be for the intent of harassing other members (particularly if the title includes the name of an existing thread) we may also change it. "Original Post" -- Thread creators can change this themselves. "Message" -- We don't change these, but will delete TOU violations. All of the above is standard practice and has been. If you have a question about a specific change, please ask SI Jeff. 4...does si management ie..YOURSELF or others read our private messages. I don't read other people's private messages, and the admin tools don't give us the capability to. I can't remember an instance where we've had a PM extracted directly from the database. Thanks, John

Funny that you should mention this. "I wonder if this thread will be 'advertised' soon on www.metamarkets.com" Does TheStreet.com still show the Busiest Boards daily on the Silicon Investor, Raging Bull etc? I remember back in early March when all the negative posts were then being made on the various threads here on SI. Some of them hit the Busiest Boards boards list that was on TheStreet.com site and the "Market Gems, banned by Jenna" thread was showing up on the list as well as Tim Luke Banned for Life, Tim Luke Petition to Unsuspend Him, etc. at TheStreet.com site and it was run by metamarkets.com. Do you remember that at all? I think it was mentioned somewhere that that is the reason that the Market Gems name was taken off of the names of the thread name here because as a business, it would not have been good to see all those negative threads with that name in it.
