Has Elite Trader "jumped the shark?"

ElCubano · Apr 28, 2009

no.

ET is a place to come and chat with people who have an interest in trading or make a living trading or have trading ideas and also just to unwind. If it didn't accomplish that you would not be here day in day out, which is not the case. It is expected that since membership has grown over the years so will the troll population and the absurd polls and threads. It is human nature.

I think Baron and company have done a great job in providing traders, wannabe traders and sponsors with a forum to connect.

Like Surdo says.... IGNORE use it.

Ditto.

I started a thread trying to get Baron to recognise the problems here with the psychological aspects of cyberstalking and cyberharassing and the moderators immediately moved it to Chit Chat so it wouldn't get any traffic.

Actually, it was Baron himself who moved your post to chit chat.

It jumped the shark when people from canada that have never placed a trade began creating polls for everything.

Darn, you found me out. And it was going so well.

Really, is that all you got?

Seems overwhelming in your favor sir.

Yes from a quick review of the archives it seems the quality of posts was much different a year (or more) ago.

Comments from serious traders seemed to be more focused (on trading rather than bashing), and the psychos weren't so evident.

But you were one of those psychos steve46

You told everyone your sister had died in 911 and it was found out you made it up

Now you are back with a new alias and sanctimonious attitude

I don't think it has yet, but I do see a short ageing mediterannean-looking guy with a really cheap bad leather jacket in the distance...

You don't know me, but I know you trader28. As we all know you've been banned many times. Clearly no one wants you here, except those who share your emotional disorder.

Pathetically you continue to think what you say is important.

I notice most people here elect to ignore you.....I will do the same

I think so too. I know it has helped those who never commented and lurked. There are some sharp individuals on here if you just look.
