I agree with your comments about the proposed guidelines. My problem was also with disallowing company reps to post. I have seen a number of excellent examples of such, keeping ALL shareholders informed and offering a convenient, public way to ask questions and have a written record of such. I really can't imagine what the authors were thinking on that point. Considering the state of regulation in this country, I really have my doubt about any kind of enforcement. On a related note, we might have ANOTHER threat of legal action here: Message 5512085 IF this is true, SI and other forums are really going to be turned into a circus. While the complaint is over 'copyright', it is clear the accused has been termed 'negative'. What will it take for these companies to learn?

<Besides, it would only be ethical that companies be asked to identify their paid promoters on chat groups.> You bet. There are IR and PR guys on other threads. First thing they do is identify themselves. The policy I use is to trust no one I do not know, until they have proven themselves. If someone posts, positive or negative, without backup, or will not provide back up when asked, they are ignored. Some people attack them, but either way, they usually disappear, or change their ways. The more naive readers and newcomers need to understand this. They learn when they get burned. I did.
