Im stunned and shocked by this decision.

This is a major error and will likely have dire consequences -- best wishes with it but i wpuld would suggest not to even try it.

That was a pretty fast delete, ms.

If there's no longer any value here for you, try advertising. Like everybody else.

If you can afford it.

You just made MS's year. The Surf Report will now become an effective marketing tool for him.

Any negative comments against "Price Drivers" or questions related to trade/risk mgmt.... <Click> another one added to the block list.

It would be interesting to see a list of "those" blocked on each self moderated thread. Would be quite revealing on how "biased" a thread becomes.

If he's marketing here...shouldn't he be banned or is he a sponsor ?

If he's not a sponsor...just report him. I know in the past he specifically stated the thread for for "networking, business and entertainment" although I'm not exactly sure what was meant by such a statement. Later the thread was closed but re-open...close and re-open for some unknown reason to the general ET population.

If he's not marketing...let him post away.

Nope, i welcome negative comments about anything. Its what makes this "board" work.

Frankly, im stunned that Baron does not get it and finally caved to a few zero value ad posters.

Freaking shocked is more like it.

Actually it's more like going to a party where there are a lot of small children who are unsupervised and particularly obnoxious, pulling on your pants leg and spilling things on your shoes.

Or a plane full of same. Long haul. And filled to capacity.

No, the new format will he like going to a cult meeting with sycophants and demagogues only Sounds right up your alley.

The jury's still out on this one. It might even gain traction

I may just have to start following you. I still remember that "debelieber" thing.

No, it'll be like having a discussion with people who know how to behave, not a meeting of Boors Anonymous.

I do, but I'm done for the day.

Wound up? No. Just out of patience.

It's not ideal. As an admin feature, yes (repeat offenders reported and dealt with via mod), but a feature open to any OP? There's enough censorship in the world and elsewhere on the web. Let's not have ET lose it's cock.
