*** ANNOUNCEMENT: BOARD RULES ***

To help keep the discussion on-topic and clean, I will clarify a few points here.

According to the TOS,
a Personal Attack is defined as:

Posting harassing or otherwise objectional content on another poster;
Calling another poster names or being vulgar;
Not staying on topic with the current investment discussion, but instead focusing on an individual poster;

Every post that, instead of focussing on the message posted, attacks an individual poster or certain participants of this board in general constitutes a personal attack.

Derogatory terms like AMDROID, DROID, FANBOY and equivalents also constitute a personal attack - terms like that have no place in a civil, polite discussion among adults, which is what this place is for, and only serve to provoke and insult participants of this board. Attempts to "cleverly" avoid this ban by saying things like "that´s typical AMDROID style", thereby implying basically the same thing, are also not allowed. Just don´t use them at all to avoid any trouble.
I cleared up this point with the I-Hub administrator Matt.

In addition, in case you missed it, read also this post

I will be more strict from now on reporting violations of the TOS, and you should do the same to enable a civil, on-topic discussion without the unpleasant noise that we had recently. There will be no more problems if you all do your part!

If anyone has a problem with I-Hub´s rules, there are more than enough other places on the web where insults, personal attacks, spam etc. are all part of the game. Here, they are not.

Thanks for your attention.
