I sent an email to the founding editor which I don't expect an answer from. I assume that's what happened to me (unspecified number of black marks). One contributor had several of my comments deleted simply because I questioned his ability (experience in down markets) due to his age (early 20's) and POOF I was in moderation. I cant believe my comments were even read by the moderators. If they were they would be so milquetoast and benign (you need more experience) that I cant imagine any normal reasonable person would find them offensive. That I cant get one response to a simple question (why was I put into moderation) says volumes about SA especially since I have done some research and found numerous complaints about anonymous contributors posting false stories to try and enrich themselves (long or short) and SA does nothing about that. When I really thought about it, in the several years I have read articles on SA, there was not one that made me make an investment decision and not one comment that did likewise. I only liked the banter going back and forth about stocks and investment ideas. There are plenty of sites I can do that on besides SA. In the future I will do that and read SA articles less.
