I agree too. And to be honest, I think I may have done it mistakengly myself too in some messages(it didnt come to my mind), though in lots of other messages I have edited it instead of adding a new reply. I dont know, just did what came in my mind at that time. But will be careful next time onwards...at least shall try my best!
As I said long time back, misreants will always find ways to get into every forum, system but our focus should be on stocks and not something else. In fact almost every person I have seen here except Basant jee, has posted at least one extra message where he/she could have simply edited his/her earlier message but I didnt think about it till now, as I would like to give them the benefit of doubt that it was unintentional.
Also case in point about moneycontrol, they dont have a promotion system there at all and hence their model is not the same as ours here. In fact, most forums like EquitDesk have the same system: "number of messages" leads to promotions. In fact, on moneycontrol, I have seen that miscreants do something else, for example:
1) A and B have an arguement, and A is talking more sense whereas B is just posting messages like "buy xxx, sure going to shoot up in next week".
2) B goes out and derates any message from A. In fact, it takes this "B" guy hardly 5-10 minutes to create another id and he comes in and again gives a low rating to A's messages.
So no system is foolproof. However moneycontrol messageboard doesnt have any promotion method and hence that model is different to this model.
What we can do is increase the number of messages needed to promote someone to senior. From newbie to groupie can be in 50 messages probably, but from groupie to senior the person WILL need to post 1000 messages, so the miscreant doesnt think about that and since almost everyone would be in the groupie group, there wont be too many comparisons and hence not too much temptation try to get promoted.
You MAY demote all the new "seniors" to groupie so that the rule applies to all, in a fair way and since 1000 messages would be far off, maybe the miscreants wont think about it too much!
However, in all fairness, if someone is thinking of getting a promotion here or is focusing on who is getting promoted and all, and not focusing on stocks and how to make money out of it, then that person is literally wasting their time and he should be warned twice privately or on board, and then banned simple! Applies to everyone, including me of course!
However, basant jee, you are the boss and have to decide after taking into consideration all aspects!
