Can you TOS IGLOW's SEC violating posts?
Well, yes and no. If you're asking if I can report them to the Admins for them to review? Yes I can, the same as anyone else. They or the ModSquad will review the post and take whatever action they feel is appropriate.
Can I remove posts that I think may violate the SEC? No. I am not a law enforcement agent, therefore it is not my job to determine if someone has broken the law. To quote the Moderator's manual, the role of a company-specific board moderator is:
Quote:
To promote the civil exchange of on-topic dialog that complies with the Investors Hub Terms of Service.
It is no accident that neither the above definition nor the Terms of Service makes mention of investment sentiment, shareholder interests, or considerations such as "the good of the company." That is because the TOS are blind to investment sentiment. In order to be a successful Moderator and conduct a board within the scope of iHub's TOS, it is critical that Moderators distinguish their role and privileges as Moderator from their role and privileges as a posting Member. That is often easier said than done, particularly on active boards with both the typical and atypical controversy.
This does not mean you are powerless. Please allow me to observe that the TOS contains a section that says:
Quote:
If you believe a message has been intentionally posted in violation of securities laws you should contact the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC's contact information for such matters can be found at
