Though I don't read that board unless someone spec

Though I don't read that board unless someone specifically asks me to read a certain post, it is true that they enjoy baiting the longs. Some of them are just jerks, and some of them do it as part of their strategy to try to discredit the company. And some of them are jerks who do it as part of their strategy.

However, you don't have to violate terms of service to be thrown off that board. The reason that this board was revived was that in a very short period of time, over a dozen of us were kicked off that board. In my case, every single post I made was suddenly removed as "off topic." Evidently, having so many "off topic" posts gets an algorithm to trigger, and ban someone. The others who were booted had similar experiences.
