hc infected with rorters

Hi All, I have been reading HC for years and there have always been nutters and rampers. However, over the past year we have really seen the rise of these strange types who are obviously professional stirrers. They are on all the most posted threads and always try create some tension with the aim of driving down the share price. The thread here on payments to directors is obviously a fabrication.

I have considered these types as merely idiots and time wasters but lately I have seen a few take over forums and drive away sensible posters. I ignore them, but maybe it is an effective strategy, there are enough around to make me suspect that they are actually having some success.

We now have a few on the RMS forum (or someone using multi nics) and I would suggest that people immediately put them on ignore and certainly don't bother replying to any of their posts. I think it is actually quite sinister what they are doing.

I would also ask the HC moderators to take a stronger stand and not let this destructive element get out of hand.
