What Can Be Done About Bashers?

Let's start with the fact that doing your own due diligence when investing is your best defense and weapon. Arming yourself with information will give you more confidence in your investment, protect you from taking in lies as truths, and give you something to toss at a basher if needed to expose their misleading.

While it doesn't help when the moderators are in on the gig, there are still some things you can do to help.

Don't comment on or respond to their posts.Be careful who you invite into other groups as not to bring home the bugs.Expose them. If you can expose their misgivings with indisputable facts people will know not to listen. If they admit they have no position, they are a basher. If they admit they have a position and still talk down on the stock, they are a short.Don't share information with them that they can try to use against you or to their advantage.If you do respond to them, only post indisputable information on their posts so that anyone who does read their garbage sees your reply tied to it.

You can try to combat them by burying their posts with that of your own, but in the case of iHub, that could be a full time job and you'd better find some friends to help you.
