We all know that stock bashers are there to scare new investors and lower stock prices. This practice is especially used on stocks with great potential. If we get involved into their games they ultimately win because they will continue until we start losing our focus (cuu discussions)and start posting personal attacks and this is how we lose our knowledgeable posters like Vette. They want the board to become chaotic especially for the newbies.

I personally know who is worth reading. I recommand we only rate posts that are relevant to cuu (which in turns means only the cuu veterans), the ones we got to know and that have been there since October/November 2011 and were on SH before the s#it hit the fan there. We should make it hard for newbies to get a post recommended. Basically, treat any new posters as bashers until proven otherwise. Maybe we should leave it to the Hub leaders to read the posts from NEW accounts and decide whether they joined to create chaos. Basically, an informal probation period. We could give the leaders lets say 2 weeks or a month and only then we get the green light from one of the hub leaders to go ahead and read and rec. During that time, we do not recommend any posts from a newbie, even if it's total genius. We wait until we get approval from the Hub leaders before we can recommend a post by the newbie.

The problem is that some posters like MES who's obvious goal was to get to Vette, would have been able to pass probation. So it is not a perfect solution, but at least the paid bashers, who need quick responses to make their pennies, would have to really work hard to build the board's trust.
