I'm concerned about providing a forum specifically for that purpose, as it may actually encourage people to start pumping picks and touting stocks. I don't know if I even want to go down that road. I'll have to think about that one. Thanks for the feedback.

I changed the wording to be more clear so let's see how this works for a while.

We keep threads for several years, so unless a thread has been deleted completely because it was totally worthless, you should be able to find any thread started over the last few years using the search function.

As a general rule, charts should be saved in the GIF format since they have less than 256 colors. The JPG format is used primarily for images with thousands of colors like photos. A chart saved in the GIF format will be clearer and will have a smaller file size than if it was saved as a JPG.

A lot of people I talk to in person use the same type of description. They basically call any site where a user can communicate with another user as a "chat room'. Whatever...

I remember going to CyberTrader in Austin for a training session on Cyber's new software back in 1998 and she was there also. At the time she was basically providing the same one-on-one training services that she is now, so she's been around for quite a while.

Correction on the time. The show started at noon but I think I'm going to be on around 12:15PM EST

I want to let ya'll know I'll be on Robin Dayne's radio show today talking about Elite Trader at Noon EST. To listen, I think all you have to do is go to http://www.voiceamerica.com and the radio will automatically start playing. There a little slider control at the bottom of the page if you...

Yes, it's possible. But aside from the potential problems I mentioned earlier, this is one of those suggestions that would require extensive modification of the database and front-end software, because we are basically assigning a moderator-type privilege to a "thread starter", and not a user...

That's ridiculous. I mean the entire recent blowup in the Index Futures forum all revolved around us being too strict. We get way more complaints about why we moved/deleted/edited certain threads or users than we do about why we let so and so get away with whatever. To say that myself and the...

I addressed the original poster's question and now this is going off topic. If you want to debate about membership numbers, that can be done in another thread.

Ok, this has distracted us long enough... Let's move on.

I don't get your point. You're explaining the situation for me. The reason why the moderators declared you, oops I mean Johnny, was not banned is because they didn't do it themselves. They did not know I banned that username because I didn't tell them. The REAL story is simple. Even though...

For the most part, when a post is deleted, it is gone for good. The only time I keep or print posts is when there's an accusation that a person has posted something really libelous or defamatory about a business.

Oh, in that case, there's no difference between a Yahoo group owner and a forum moderator. The group basically has one authority who polices the discussion and moderates as necessary using pre-established guidelines. That's what we're doing here. If you let a thread starter moderate their...

Keep in mind that this whole issue is nothing new to me. I've been doing this same old stuff for six years day in and day out. Many of the suggestions that have been made recently have not been implemented for several reasons such as: 1. It has already been tried in the past and failed...

You and I both know that Yahoo groups are consistently referred to by people all the time as an example of what a message board should NOT be. I don't understand how you can possibly see their boards as successful from a "clean discussion" standpoint. Add in the "1 message per page" format with...

Since there has been some recent "tension" among a few members and our moderators, it's probably a good time to revisit a few basic rules of participating here. ALL MEMBERS SHOULD KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND: When you signed up to become a member of the site, you agreed to a very simple set...

Well, aside from his posts violating our member agreement by containing excessive profanity and vulgarity, I received numerous complaints about the unnecessary crudeness of his posts. ALL MEMBERS SHOULD KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND: When you signed up to become a member of the site, you...

It sounds good in theory but I can guarantee that will create more problems than it solves. I know other operators of boards like this who tried that at one point and it turned into a disaster. The problem is that it gives a thread starter too much control, in that he can silence just about...
