Forum moderators

Anytime we get someone on this forum who actually has a sense of humor: mojo, put trader, Rodger Thornhill, AnnuityGuy, they boot them..<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

WTF!!!    

Now they are starting to depots our posts. This forum is going down the tubes!!!!!!!

When was Newbie deactivated, and how do you know?

Why was your post deleted?

Do tell!

I think NASD was deactivated yesterday.  If you look at his profile, you can see it clearly stating “not active”.  This is garbage because NASD is genuinely interested in helping rookies and they booted him for no reason this time.  

 Now, there are about three people I take seriously on this forum- yourself included.   

As far as my post, I reposted an excerpt from one of my conversations with brotherk.  The moderators probably construed my comments as racial, and removed the entire conversation.  Yet our topic had nothing to do with race or the fact that Mr. K is African American.   

Shmer, if you’re having NASD withdrawal, you can PM his latest incarnation…P G D M…

Even though at first I thought NASD was a hater. I think started to realize why he came off the way he did. I think he just wants to tell the truth, instead of just going along with what people want to hear. If you see this NASD, ONE LOVE man, ONE LOVE.

P.S: To the forum moderators; WE WANT NASD BACK!@!

just wanted to add a positive comment. the guy is still “disuading.” Yea, I did it NASD, i didn’t capitalize the first word of the sentence. what you gonna do about it?!

He'll find some library with a different internet signature than his home PC, and he'll be back soon enough.  Actually if he ever comes back it will be way too soon.

Good job moderators.

Actually all one needs is a good IP blocker software and you can log onto this site with as many identities as you want from the same computer.

He made a comment about one of the newbs on here that could be construed as bigotted to African Americans. I don’t think he is a bigot, but still a stupid move seeing that the moderators are pretty strict

I repeated what someone else said..  <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I am not a bigot..  

Nevertheless, does anyone actually know why they keep booting nasd?

Because he is a virus that removes value from the forum.  Every thread he touches is damaged immediately; often beyond repair.  90% of his commentary was comprised of personal attacks against individuals (although in truth he got his fair share in return), and worthless.  The other 10% was full of information that was such a mix of fact, opinion, and misinformation that any details had to be confirmed by outside resources before believing.

Since he's been gone there have been many meaningful threads in which actual knowledge has been shared among financial professionals.  Whether they be broker, advisor, recruiter, wholesaler, attorney.  Whether they work at a wire, a bank, a small regional, or a national firm.  Fee based and transactional.  People were educated, and it was good.

There are still a few who spend their time commenting on other people's posts, instead of commenting on the topic at hand, but none who were as distracting as him (he?).

I, for one, am glad he's gone.  Although I'm certainly expecting to hear from him again (if I haven't already).

Enough of that!  Time for a beer.  HAPPY FRIDAY!

I respected many things that he had to say. But he came off crude so many times that it rubbed people the wrong way. He had great insight into the investing side of the bizz, but little to no knowledge about the insurance part of the biz. But wrote like he was a master.

He had (has?) little-to-no working knowledge of the investment side of our business.  His only area of limited expertise is in the derivatives arena.  He dispensed advice that to an experienced broker was pure nonsense, but if acted upon by a newly minted broker could cause the premature end of a promising career.  That in particular is why I despise the little office pogue.

NASD is a waste of time and a loser.  If you liked his posts (or even read them) YOU ARE A LOSER TOO. 

He is already back as Maven.  How sick.

vbrainy...you're way behind...he's been back and has already been banned again...

Looks like he’s back again…more to come.

NASD Newbie was awesome, bright, and intelligent - if you don’t believe me, just ask him (or her).

Somebody has to be the brightest member of a group.  If you think it's you then step right up and lay claim to it, but be prepared for others to take pot shots at you.

Which of the people who leave their musings here do you think is the brightest?

Knows Wall St. = NASDNewbie.   

Sorry newbie - (I mean Knows Wall Street), I didn't realize that it was some sort of competition to prove smarts.  I believe, not sure, that the focus of this forum is to share ideas and not fabricate this ultra-ego, that will provide a false sense of power.  Don't you believe that supporting others with ideas and encourage people to not give up is much better that 'pontificating' what a brilliant person you are?  The one who lays claim to being the brightest tends to be the most insecure. 

Blowing out other candles doesn't make yours brighter.

Does that make them not the brightest?  If you think you are the brightest you should stake that claim as if you were a prospector.

Somebody has to be the smartest person on this forum.  Who do you think it is?

You may choose yourself.

Well, Putsy, it's clear to all that we can start by eliminating YOU from the running.

I'm the smartest dude around here. 

Well, then again that's by default so who am I kidding?

A smart person knows when he/she is out of his/her area of expertise and acts accordingly.  I think we all know who that eliminates…

I believe that the 'NASD Newbie' person was the smartest - but unfortunately, we haven't had any postings from them lately.

However, there's this new person 'knows wall st.' who's made almost 60 posts since Monday.  Wow - that's a busy person.  Must not have to produce for a living, or something.  After tomorrow - when they have over 100 postings, I may nominate them as the 'smartest' person in this group.

well said, indy.

Joedabrkr is the smartest person and this board and he can prove it. And he has common sense.

Common sense?  You mean like quitting a job with some security to
venture into the world of no security and joining a country club as the
first thing he did?

Yeah that’s right I’m an idiot.  I’ve proven it by taking the bait and responding to your post.

Once again we’re back to the fact that you spent so many years sucking on the corporate tit that you can’t concieve of what I did, and that it was possibly the most sane decision I ever made in my life.

I don’t carry much debt, and we live well within our means.  So, joining the club has been a pleasant diversion, a good business tool, and quite affordable even though my income fluctuates a bit month to month.

Thanks Biasedrecruiter for your kind words.  In reality I have plenty more to learn in life.

I think he was joking–nobody could actually believe that.

Thank you forum moderators...although it took you long enough...

It appears our favorite Vice President of Paperclips got the boot again...wonder how long it will take the fungus to come back with a new name...
