posters here should have to prove they actually trade

i'm starting to think the day7793=stocktrader may have some legs. Days be positive, shorts getting crushed (even yesterday he said this?) diatribes do sound familar. He seems to vanish on down days or make totally ridiculous claims. And he does seem downright crazy!
 
The experienced traders know who is and who isn't a trader - who's experienced and who's a novice - who has book knowledge and who has real world knowledge - who tows a party line and who's on the front line.

No doubt about that. Both are on ignore.
 
Quote from maxpi:

The ignore feature is a partial solution at best, threads still get taken off course and enthusiasm deflated by people I have on ignore, and when posters quote them and respond I still see the idiocy. Baron could try a two tiered system could he not? Tier 1 members could either prove they trade or pay some not inconsequential amount to afford entry, that would include traders and academics, tier 2 membership could be as it currently is with ability to see tier one posts. Tier 1 members could put tier 2 posts on ignore 'en masse on a thread by thread basis and still have the option of individual perma-ignore choices. As it is each serious poster has to discover who to ignore one by one and banned parties can sign up again in a minute and be back to pester a thread to death even if everybody has them on ignore...

Put academics in tier 2.

Exactly, people who read this site and expect to get trading wisdom from it will be sorely disappointed.

I think that you can glean some nuggets of wisdom by sifting through the BS. That said how are inexperienced traders supposed to do this?

And you can get bad advice from good intentioned posters as well whether because of a clash in trading styles, poorly worded posts or just plain wrong.

Yes, mostly entertainment, some spam, and a little wisdom from a few quality posters.
