This post is not directly related to ISX but posted due to the ongoing and more frequent presence of trolls on the HC ISX website.

If you type in the words "trolls and HotCopper" into google...many articles appear.  I won't paste a link to the search results.  One link, was of concern and I won't post it - authored by Benjamin John Pauley -- 13 May 2019.  Fortunately ISX won't be capital raising.

Here are a few links to articles that shouldn't be moderated:

I have held other ASX shares and I don't have and/or didn't keep watchlists on HC for them as the trolls had taken over and hijacked many of the sites.

I don't understand why HC trollers spend so much time posting on stocks they don't own; don't intend to own----why not spend the time researching and investing in shares they do believe in?  How do they afford to spend so much of their time posting - what is their source of income --- are they paid?  Is so, who pays them?

If trolls are allowed to hijack some (many??) HC sites and/or swamp HC share sites with negative opinions, why aren't the trolls backing up their opinions with facts/reasoning/validation - why aren't they being made to, or trying to, differentiate themselves from being seen as a troll --- as opposed to being an informed dissenter?
