1. Close the site. 2. Ban free speech. 3. Ban gullable people. 4. Force lazy people of this service to read their terms of use: techstocks.com From the SI Terms of Use: You should exercise discretion and skepticism before relying on information in messages, since it may be incorrect or misleading. Members may pretend to be people that they're not. Some may have bad intentions or may have bad information -- so beware! You should make an independent investigation before making any major financial decisions, and if you rely on information posted by other members you do so solely at your own risk.

Good question! Read this: I think it's up to us. We are the people that make this site what it is. Admin Bob can use all the help he can get. Believe me, Brad, Jeff, and the rest of the SI honchos want to do what's best. But don't expect them to police every post and every thread. If you see slimy shill type posts, post the link here. Many times, the shill is a newbie and has no idea there are people like us that are waiting to charbroil them. The faster we expose them, the better, because I don't want anyone to lose money on these scam pump and dump deals. If the person is clean, they won't mind taking a little heat. If they aren't, then screw 'em, we don't need them on SI, IMHO. For example, here's a new person that looks iffy; check out the posts: Member 4963302
