I don't agree. I really don't think that these "trials"
should include posting privileges. There are just too many of
them and many of them just want to see their names on the
blogs. They take up all of our time. Not just Matt and
Steve. p.
I thought that I would add my 2 cents. I haven't really
had a problem with trial members posting (I missed this weekend's
"problem") and actually think that Yago's posts were fine, not that
he needs me to defend him. He's posted only 9 times, with
reasonable cautions about being too bearish, other than the last
one that may have been trying to be cute - similar to many
others. Bottom line is that I wouldn't change anything unless
more of this weekend's episode occurs, which Matt handled fine
IMO.
I would not stop new posters, they need to get a feel for the
place and you should encourage them to ask and post. You can't have
the old bloggers dominating. As for taking up your time, well
"share" and grow together. Is like saying there is an old lady
trying to cross the road, I have not the time to stop and help,
someone else will. Goes TOTALLY against the grain of how I know
BPT.
Matt did the right thing over the weekend, they are few and far
between, no need to be drastic.
It's like saying BPT is the best already; no one outside is
worthly of having a second opinion. Well, we can't assume that. You
just never know what one might be missing IMO
Yes yago's posts are fine. The problem was over the
weekend with that bullbull marketcall guy, and if we if have
another weekend problem, then we'll have to lock it down.
Or the other option would be to designate moderators that can
police the blog if someone get's way out of line, but only used
when a posted is way out of line and destructive.
Anyway let's get back to trading
