Stock Boards vs. Premium Boards  
Stock Boards vs. Premium Boards  


There are three different types of boards on Investors Hub:  stock specific (has or had a trading ticker), general investment discussion and topics that aren’t necessarily related to stocks or investing.




* Stock Specific: There is one board for each company, fund or crypto.  Duplicate boards will be removed.  There are volunteer Moderators (Members like yourself) who volunteer their time to try to keep the community discussion about the board topic while allowing some friendly commentary along the way. Anyone can view and registered users can participate in the discussion on these boards.
Below is parked here:


*General Investment Discussion:  These are boards without a ticker and discuss many different companies or stocks.  The Moderators created these boards for discussion of specific sectors, price ranges, technical analysis, fundamental theories, etc. These boards are usually in the Free Zone and  available to all Users.  However some Moderators choose to make their board “Premium”.  (In rare cases, Admin may change the board to Premium if the Mods are not keeping the discussion primarily related to stocks.) On Premium boards anyone can read the board, but only IHub Premium subscribers can post on the board.
*Other Premium Boards:  These boards can be read by all Users and Investorshub scubsribers can participate in the discussion. 
**Lounge Boards: These can be about music, cars, recipes, biking, TV shows - whatever you’re interested in talking about. 
**Political Boards: If politics are your thing, there is likely a board for you here.

Version of this on Moderator pages: Boards in the Premium Zone simply mean that Moderators have more flexibility in managing the content by removing messages and banning specific users from the board although rare, Admin reserves the right to overturn any Moderator action on any board for any reason. Posting on these boards is also restricted to Members with Premium account features.

Premium status does not give a board license to blatantly violate the rules of the site. Any concerns with Mods or deletions on other boards still needs to be addressed with Site Admins. More latitude is offered to Moderators on Premium boards. For example, if two posters are having a heated debate that includes what might be considered a personal attack on Free Zone boards, the Mod has some flexibility to allow this. However; one sided deletions in this example are inappropriate. Additionally, using these boards as a place to launch personal attacks on other Users of the site is not allowed and should be deleted. Premium boards are also not a haven to "archive posts in case they are deleted" and/or in the event they are removed. If a User feels a post has been inappropriately removed then their recourse is to request a review either through the automated system or by sending a PM to IH Admin.
