The trolls post about CTIX, which is the topic. Mo

Yes, it is frustrating, however anyone can post their own version of the facts about CTIX, and let the reader decide who is making the more credible arguments.
Intelligent readers can decide whose facts are supported with references and logic, and whose 'facts' are hogwash.
This permits open discussion.
The only advantage I see is that some of the trolls follow the terms of service whereas many others don't.
The trolls post garbage about CTIX = On topic.
The other posters get irritated and post about the trolls = off-topic.
But if they posted only the correct facts according to their opinion, it is on topic.
I've come to the conclusion that there really is no way to run a site about thousands of stocks and have a few admin know the real facts about each stock. All sites I've seen which allow open discussion give an advantage to the more persistent trolls. Without moderation, it can end up a cesspool like Yahoo.
I also see the value in blogs and groups which only allow positive, factual posting as determined by the moderators or authors.
