Just so that we are clear

Good day to you all and thank you for your comments and of course for your participation within the AGORACOM Community.
I am sorry that our last conversation had to cast a tone of an ultimatum - sadly this one is no different.
I think everyone here is alarmed and for good reasons - there is absolutely no way we can be asked to balance your issues. There is too much of a shade of grey and unfortunately all this is working against us.
If you are wondering whether or not this Hub will shut down I can be the first to appease you that this will never happen. In spite the few of you who cannot get over your personal differences, there will always be demand for a great discussion forum where investors can congregate.
AGORACOM is much more than a status quo board and I challenge anyone to prove the opposite - our staff have provided nothing short of a professional response to you; in addition to great service, we don't make a dime off you by flipping ads or pageviews - thats not our model.
We recognize the value of underground market intelligence but with no way to differentiate between fact and fiction, we have to stick with what we can verify. That's not censorship, it's just good sense.
Let me illustrate what will be acceptable moving forward and what will not:
Allowed:
I just spoke with (company official) and they said:
• drilling is on schedule
• things look good
• everyone is optimistic and anxiously awaiting drill results
• very happy with how the company is progressing
Not Allowed:
I just spoke with (company official) and they said:
• drill results are better than anything reported before
• drill results press release is coming tomorrow
• a major is investing $50,000,000
Similarly we understand that you have diverse opinions about this company or company developments. Moving forward, let it be known that any responses along the lines illustrated below will lead to termination:
User A
I just looked at (company document) and based on A, B and C I am happy how things are progressing
User B
User A, I also looked at (company document) and while I agree with you on A and C, I have my doubts over B.
User a to User B
Well you are just a basher/short/wrong
If one more post as illustrated above is found your profile will be terminated indefinetely!!
By all means, questions pertaining to the markets are completely acceptable, especially as they pertain to Silverado. If someone wants to discuss the price of gold, or the overall markets and their potential impact (positive or negative) on Silverado, we welcome that conversation. As long as you accept that as your opinion and others are welcome to disagree and or add to that.
The bottom line is that we want posts to accomplish one of two things:
• Provide further knowledge for everybody
• Provide questions that require knowledgeable input from others
I stand by my assertion that the situation we have here has nothing to do with the quality of information posted on the forum - it revolves around ego's, cooperation (or lack there of) and co-ordination.
We don't take kindly of draconian measures however we can't be drawn to this non-sponsored site and listen to balance your ego's. We offer full assistance to anyone - and yes this includes criticism of our site or service. And 100% of the time we triumph over the competition.
With this said kindly let it be known that this is the very last time AGORACOM will be drawn to post on this forum. Our next action - and I hope we can avoid it - will be exactly that; an action (account termination).
Thank you all again and enjoy your sunday.
Kind Regards,
Andreas Marouchos
