Rupert, I don't agree with paragraphs 2-4 but that might actually not be that important. A second minor point: You've always been able to link to an OT post from the moderated thread the same way I did today: Message 23448992 For anyone who doesn't know yet: Just start the post on the moderated board with 'OT: ', then a very short title, followed by the link to the OT post on this board. No insults of any kind are allowed in either post. (At least that's how it is now). Let me just repeat that I'll initiate the vote 7 days from now (Apr 19) in order to give other candidates sufficient time to come forward now. That vote will be done on this OT board just like previous votes have also successfully happened here. It'll be linked to from the moderated board in a similar fashion as above. Please PM / email me to get any specific texts included in the voting posts. Regards, Rink

"...call for a non-activist moderator who relied on the experience and self desicipline of the participants." In my humble understanding, the banned people are exactly those who have no self discipline but lots of "experience" in bashing the stock and mocking investors, in obvious (and foolish) attempt to help their personal trading strategies and/or sadistic self satisfaction. A good moderator has to identify those persons, and ban them for life. So far the ban list has all right people except mas_ and pirasa2 (I can't identify why pirasa2 was banned). I think that dougSF30 and Sarmad are two other good candidates for the list, and the AMD thread should be fine. I also think that the speed limit is a good measure, except when a poster does favor to the thread by posting related news and information. I think that all one-liner comments like "LOL!!" and "You think so?" must be punished immediately by temporary revoking posting rights. And I see no problem if the rules get refined over time - this is a normal process for a society. Cheers, - Ali (celebrating more than a DECADE(!) of being a SI contributing member)
