Moderators screening comments like the Thought Police, but SA continues spamming.

Why are my comments being moderated? Why do you think this is a good process at a time when you are constantly spamming my inbox and obligating me to remove popups?

lol been in moderation for almost two years now. i think they just like reading my comments first now. most of them get thru these days, but I date not talk politics, as my spectrum doesn't fit their agenda.

The only political comment I have made was about this being Trump's greatest bankruptcy yet. Otherwise I try to be respectful even when disagreeing with a post or article. I think the real issue is that I questioned Rida Morwa's record of promoting high yield at the cost of 70% declines in principal. Rida is one of SA's untouchables. Either that or this site is run by the Red Hat Brigade. I don't have a subscription, so I get my money's worth. Being moderated ensures I will never pay for Premium or contribute an article.

interesting. have you tried contacting SA directly? i've spammed all of them, including Eli until I got an answer as to why I was being moderated. They didn't give me a timeline of release, but apparently i'm a lifer now lol

Doesn't concern me enough. Been drifting away from this buy-the-dip site for the past year due to its emphasis on greed and lack of concern for the homeless epidemic because that might mean interrupting dividends. The lack of concern here for people who are hurting in the current situation has really turned me off. The glee people demonstrate because their wealth can take advantage of the demise of others is awful.

SA penalizes adult behavior, in a variety of ways, while generally ignoring the trolls and griefers … which is why I am leaving as soon as my subscription is over.  As a former small business owner, I can say with some confidence that this is not how you treat your customers (and their complaints about your product) if you want to stay in business.  Since the best way to punish SA for their dereliction of fiduciary responsibility to their customers is by voting with your feet - just take your money elsewhere, and support a better site - that is what I intend to do (when my subscription runs out, since THEY DON'T GIVE REFUNDS, EVER … another red flag that it's time to look for the nearest exit, because YOU are the bunny!)  "Think of it as evolution in action."

Verified. My comments get through to any article except Rida Morwa's. Today he posted another article promoting OXY. He's been promoting it through an 80% decline and dividend cuts, but he is a sacrosanct revenue generator for SA. I wonder how many retirees were wiped out following his articles on chasing yield.
