The Five Commandments of Aussie Stock Forums

Oh please.

Not enough info for a mad dumbhead

[Logique]

Not for one minute saying or implying that it's trolling, but must admit, it's a tough crowd in the gold price thread, very contentious in there.

[ProverbialPaul]

All sound good to me!

Given that we have just begun a new year and many here at ASF may not have seen this thread, I think it's an appropriate time to remind everyone about expectations of behaviour and posting. I would ask that everyone please review the first post in this thread very carefully.

Specifically, I would like to remind everyone of the following:

• Do not insult or personally attack others. Ever. Do not call people morons, idiots or any other derogatory names. It is inappropriate and it is not acceptable.
• Posts should discuss the content of other's posts, not the posters themselves.
• Do not deliberately provoke others, bully them, or bait them. I have no problem with passionate, robust debate. On the contrary, I encourage it. But argue the point, don't deliberately wind others up in an attempt to disrupt or derail the discussion.
• Posts in stock threads should discuss the stock, or the content of other's posts, and that's it. No off topic posts, no posts discussing other posters, and no posts with no content. If you are simply agreeing with someone please add something else of value to the discussion.
• It is not acceptable to accuse others of ramping simply because they take a bullish view of a stock. If you believe they are wrong, then your attack should be on their analysis, not them personally.
• It is not acceptable to accuse others of downramping simply because they take a bearish view of a stock. If you believe they are wrong, then your attack should be on their analysis, not them personally.
• Those taking a bullish or bearish view on ANY stock must post some analysis or reasoning to support their view.

I would urge everyone to please report posts that are in violation of the above points, or the commandments as outlined in the first post in this thread. The mods or I may not necessarily agree with your assessment of a particular post, but all reported posts are looked at.

Your co-operation in helping to maintain the constructive atmosphere and quality of posting here at ASF is very much appreciated!

Could I copy this to another forum where all they do all day is abuse each other as an example of how it should be done ?

It might wake them up....perhaps not.

Yes, feel free to copy it if you like. Just please don't link to ASF if it's a forum full of trolls and adults acting like children. I'd prefer that they stay there.

They're exotic car owners and a fair sprinkling of hangers on, I'll think about it.

Ferrari etc, smart **** would be an understatement for many of them, I really don't know why I bother with it, I bought a Maserati once and went there for advice and have been stuck ever since.
I must break the habit.

[Garpal Gumnut]

A Maserati Burnsie, well there you go.

To return the thread to it's original intent.

I think I know that one you are talking about.

The thing I love about us aussies are we are passionate even us traders.

The thing I hate is that passion can turn to bickering and hatred pretty fast, when tension run hot if you know what I mean.
