Good Morning Crowlee.
Thank you for your message and for speaking your honest opinion. Indeed administering forums is indeed a thankless job, however we feel it our privilege to being able to maintain a forum within which a respectful, constructive and yes at times argumentative community has developed. This has to do with the way AGORACOM is structured.
AGORACOM was custom built to cater to the needs of small cap investors so that they could congregate in a place that was free of bashing, hyping, spam and profanity.
We have no doubt that you are familiar with other small cap communities such as StockHouse, InvestorsHub and RagingBull just to name a few. Those sites, and 99% of all other internet sites, are based upon advertising models and rely upon ad revenues to remain viable businesses.
In addition, each one of those aforementioned sites has a paid subscription if you want to upgrade your account. AGORACOM never takes a penny from our members.
Lastly, AGORACOM receives $0 in advertising revenues so we do not innundate our members with advertising. We will sporadically run client ads within our community which helps to keep this incredible service FREE to investors.
AGORACOM admins are not here to police anyone as we firmly believe that our members are allowed to voice their opinions and discuss them with others without fear of repurcussion.
If however a particular member steps outside our six golden rules, posts a message that is mildly provocative to another member or is soft bashing, for the benefit of our community that message will most likely be deleted either by an AGORACOM admin or by an AGORACOM Hub Leader.
We take pride in our community and its members as we feel that by deleting the occasional post gone astray makes you, the Tyhee Shareholders, the Noront Shareholders et al leave a more affirmative impression on the many visitors navigating through your Hub's pages on a daily basis.
All one needs to do is look at the emperical evidence and the testimonials from our community which state how much AGORACOM has helped their stocks by weeding out the garbage that is found on every other small cap community site.
Thank you again for your message; it is a privilege to have read such a well thought and articulated post.
We appreciate your time and your contributions within the AGORACOM community.
Regards,
AGORACOM
