Wanderer, I am curious to see how the summary of today's Agora post was interpreted as a pure and simple stay off each other's site order?
"we would appreciate if shareholders of each company would stick to their indigenous Community Hubs"
"If you have a thought to share which is not the main focus of attention of either the LBE or ISM shareholders,
1) then please post it on the relevant Shareholder Community’s boards,
2) send a private message to the member or members you feel would benefit from your thoughts,
3) or post it in the off topic board.
We also encourage you to rethink your approach of raising any concerns that cannot be substantiated as soft bashing will no longer be tolerated on either ISM or LBE. AGORACOM admins have been instructed to suspend the privileges of any member who has little to contribute to either the LBE's or the ISM's main discourse."
If you were to hold fast to the indigenous request by Agora, then why allow posts which are derogatory in nature and inflammatory?( see item 4 below)
It seems we have seen a rash of post that seek to test the limits today. Why is that? Sadly the limits have been laid out and are very clear. I have tried to post nothing but helpful and hopefully constructive input on this and other forums. I will continue to do so if I can introduce something of value for appropriate audiences. Whether it's generic value for the Shaw Dome neighbors or specific interest to LBE. Please note that when I post the same posts on GCR or ISM that I post tot he LBE site, I am not reported as a violator or commented on as posting "interference" on those threads.
I believe today's catalyst for Agora to introduce a mandate is simply becuase Uberrich and myself discussed and illustrated the topic of GCR, their underground magnetic bodies and how they lie in relation to the LBE properties. I was actually in the middle of a post to Uber today when the Agora policy hit the page.
So in repsonse to todays only posts by me, If these were not something that belonged here and especially when in response to an LBE posted query, I don't know what is. BTW it was Uberrich who brought it to my attention that it reported as violation and I did not know it at the time of further posts related to the first. He questioned it's grounds?
Lastly folks, I have certain people on ignore, therefore I do not see all that is posted, especially on a day like today. Let it be known, I try to stay on topic as it relates to the mutual interests above and wish to carry on as such. To interpret the indigenous comment as a hard fast rule, given the follow up guidelines that were included, is crazy and non-productive for any investor thread. One can't be so selective when reading today policy statement imho.
For me, common sense says follow the rules as they are laid out. Heck the rules today were practically spelled out again, let lone the last how many times were the first original rules (of the violation system)
If one's content or conduct fits the following, you are in contravention.
Pretty simple
Why push tolerance levels of Agora? The topic line said it all.
How would things look if they simply said they have had enough and they shut both forums down? Why ruin a good thing? Anyone care to go back to Stockhouse with it's definite lack of tools and resources? Not to mention it's other notable attributes.
