Hi there,

Your account is not under moderation review. We allow disagreement on the topic of the article. However, we do not allow insulting comments toward any of the users or authors. We work to keep the discussion respectful and productive.

Seeking Alpha is a platform for discussion and debate, and we do not pick favorites. You are welcome to publish articles that debate methodologies with which you disagree, and point out what you perceive to be poor or misleading investing tactics. Comment streams on articles are appropriate for constructive discussion about the article's thesis, with the author and with other readers. They are not a place to deconstruct the author or his thesis.


Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.

Because you posted a negative comment on an author. Seeking Alpha wants you post only comments saying how are wonderful authors, especially if they have expensive services to provide. I suppose Seeking Alpha has a % on fees, so negative comments are not good for business.

My account, on the other hand is under moderation, I cannot post a comment without warning that my comments are moderated. And my comments, without any insult, a little criticism of an author are not published. You can verify.

This SA answer to this question is pretty funny in that you can't up or down-vote the answer! All I kmow is you better not challenge the 'golden boys' or you'll never see a comment posted on the article afterwards!

Rida is a classic

This guy apparently has 6 MILLION a year in sub fees

1000 a year * 6000

All he does is but buy buy and pray the markets help him out. If not, he wipes his tears with $100 bills

I must be on some black list for years. About 8. My comments are constantly deleted for no reason that can be rationally explained. I find I use SA less and less because of this and will never give them one penny for any service unless things radically change.

This site is worse than any Nazi censorship board. They are a complete joke. Why anyone would spend even a dime here knowing that you have to conform to their preferred political agenda is astounding.

Really? Only positive comments? Not allowed to deconstruct a thesis? So errors are embraced and aren't allowed to be deconstructed and pointed out as false? SA is a joke, I will never spend a dollar on this site.

Is this site run by Middle East censorship types? And by Middle East types I mean the authoritarian type that assassinates anyone with a different point of view.

I understand the point about constructive discussion. However, some are allowed to denigrate or belittle others without it being noticed or even bring up politics or curse so unless it’s pointed out, they will leave it on there. I’m not why certain ones have to have every comment looked at before posting. Can’t they just judge them after they appear.
