5. No Spamming

Purposely spamming a message board with senseless, vacuous, or empty messages is unacceptable. This includes continually posting the same topic or post more than three times in a 24 hour period; posting the same question across several boards; using chain letters; two-word "I agree" or "me too" responses; merely posting an icon; short replies, such as "didn't read" or "old" on any stock board.

On a similar note, participating in spam attacks by many users working together on the "Investors Hangout" Boards or planning a spam attack on the "Investors Hangout" Message Boards is unacceptable, and these actions will be reported to your ISP.

6. Off Topic

Posts and topics on stock boards must have some sort of quality to them, and topics should be worthy of discussion. While topics can range in topic, it doesn't mean you can make "any" topic you wish. They must maintain a level of quality on any stock board. Topics such as the following should be avoided:

- Not be about things you have eaten, clothes you are wearing, or other related items. Telling people where you are going, what you're doing at the time, etc. These are Ok on member boards but not on stock boards.

- No porn.

- No Posting games on stock boards.

- No lewd, rude, racist, or offensive posts/threads (keep language usage at a PG level).

- No trolling (posting an obviously negative post/thread to elicit an angry response).

- Be respectful and polite to other message board members.

- "I'm leaving" type threads are not permitted as they most often contain zero discussion value on any stock boards.

- Short posts such as "lol" and "ok" are considered spam/Off Topic and will not be tolerated on any stock boards.

7. Professional & IRP Members

"Investor Hangout" IRP members or Investor relations professionals are the pivotal link between their organization and the outside world. They are a key corporate resource, disseminating information to shareholders, financial professionals, and potential investors about their company's competencies, competitive advantages, strengths, weaknesses, strategies, vision and mission -- the objective being to ensure that the company will be accurately valued in the marketplace.

Investors Hangout requires all professional members to declare their status and maintain an IRP membership status while involved in any Investors relations organization, Investors Hangout cannot guarantee that all will do this. The absence of an IRP Disclosure/Disclaimer should not be construed to indicate the poster is not subject to Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933. Investors Hangout does not watch or track any promotional activity engaged in by IRPs or members and we are not party to their promotion agreements. Our IRP subscription fees of 24.99 are assessed for their commercial use of the site and providing them the means to include any legally required Disclosures/Disclaimers with their posts
