I THINK JEROME ARMSTRONG SECURITIES VIOLATOR SUMS UP THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THEY NEEDED A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD CONTROL THE MESSAGE BOARDS TO RUN THERE SCAMS. INVESTORS HUB WAS SUCH A PLACE.

We just agree to put them on ignore, pretty simple imo.
But a nice DD posting site would be great, and I think if it were easy to use and functional, and hostile to shorters and bashers, it would make for a quick exiting of RB by the DD posters, with the crowd following... it can happen quickly too, look how fast SI has become vacant following its sanctioning of these pests.
But the solution is not just another corporate run message board place, it's got to be long, bullish investor friendly, and short, bashing poster hostile.
