"That's a great question. Don't expect much but deflection or no reply at all. Those without a dog in the fight or who are working with the toxic lenders, or simply visiting from IHUB, cannot or do not respond often. Here less than there, as they don't get paid for responses from here. That's why they come and go after a few sentences or stay away altogether."

its not that the bashers are getting paid per post - it is iHub founders/members have already been found to be complicit with these types of arrangements and perpetuating the scheme. the reason they can successfully "bash" the company is the moderators/administrators are primarily for the shorting of companies as it is more profitable and more manageble than one that is moving up. companies in a death spiral have ZERO leverage and little means to break out of it so the naked shorting is a very safe bet. when you have some willing lenders, MMs, and a prominent trading board in on it - it becomes very profitable for many with winks and nods and no one upsetting the apple cart. when a poster calls them out - the post is deleted and then the poster is banned for "violating TOU".

they can NOT get away with that on this forum and their tactics are quickly extinguished so there is little incentive or return to manipulate. as you can see - they are quickly overrun with counter arguments and facts and the half truths and suggestive comments are quickly and effectively countered and the posts are NOT deleted so that newbies can see both sides and form an objective opinion (which is why i do not agree with deleting negative posts unless it is and or becomes clear the agenda is to bash, or pump, and not actively debate pros and cons).
