Relax isn't really the correct term; reduce would be more appropriate. There are simply too many bans of members who post contrary opinions or questions on investment boards which are titled to be for open discussion of the stock. It is perfectly acceptable if a moderator wants to style a board for positive (or negative) content only. Then it would be reasonable to ban someone for consistent contrary posts as being off-topic. However; other users and readers of the board would know from the title that the purpose of the board is for cheerleading and not meaningful exchange of differing views. The Coffee Shop boards don't really need the increased requirements for issuing bans, and the political forum boards by their very nature are titled and typically operated as partisan and therefore don't need it either.
