Hi Mysteron,
Banning TE seems a gross over reaction to me.😡:
The job of the moderators is - to a greater or lesser extent - to enforce the site guidelines. If members breach them, then they will get what's coming to them. In TE's case, the Mods extended every leway and courtesy they could to him and would not have banned him without VERY good reason to do so. If you are unhappy with their actions, I suggest your criticism should be directed at TE and the way in which he conducted himself, rather than at the moderators. Without them doing the stirling job that they do - and for free I might add - then these boards would be a complete mess.
TE never asked for a fee and was never going to get any money from me.
His motto was along the lines of "the only coach who doesn't charge a fee"👍:
Well, I suspect that that's just part of his marketing campaign. The days when vendors selling anything - good or bad - could roll up on sites like this and post links to their own websites promising untold riches are long gone. These days, they have to be much more Machievelian and cunning in the way they go about things. The T2W Mods are very experienced and can spot the ruses of vendors a mile off. TE promised the world and delivered very little - if anything - of any real value to aspiring traders. If he was genuinely interested in
'helping those who help themselves - and others' as he claimed, then surely he would have provided something of more substance in his posts? I think I can speak for the majority (not all - just the majority) of T2W members when I say that one has to question someone who doesn't (without any real reason) name specific stocks and expects members to go on a wild goose chase trying to work out the instrument. Far from being helpful. IMO, that's just taking the ****.
I can honestly say that I learned a few things from him the and other members of his group, and, his threads were hugely entertaining.:clap:
With the odd exception of DionysusToast (DT) and perhaps one or two others, the only people who claim to have found TE's post helpful and instructive are all members who have joined in the last few months. Odd that!
DT is an experienced trader and the sort of person who could watch the Simpsons on TV and find something in it that's instructive and potentially helpful to his trading. He is a million miles away from the 'average' new member who is looking for insight and help with their trading. This latter group are the ones TE claimed to be wanting to help. There's no way that members in this category are going to have the knowledge and experience necessary to go down the path of enquiry that DT went down.
Certainly, you're quite correct when you say that TE's threads were entertaining. Moreover, they attracted a lot of interest. However, anyone can (as TE has shown) start a thread promising the earth and it will attract a lot of interest. Not unreasonably, subscribers to it will read it in the hope that they will learn something from it that will enable them to achieve the same thing. In TE's case, most subscribers to his threads were left feeling somewhat disappointed. Alternatively, anyone can start a thread with a very controversial title and it too will attract a lot of interest. If I started a thread entitled 'How to Make $10K a Day', I have no doubt that it would attract a lot of interest. Alternatively, if I started a thread making inappropriate remarks about another member (e.g. sexual or threatening), then it too would get a lot of hits and score highly on the entertainment front. If all you're after is cheap entertainment, I suggest that there are numerous other forums on the interweb better placed to provide it than T2W.
I'm glad you feel you learnt something instructive from TE. As a matter of interest, I'd be very interested to know
exactly what you think you learnt from him that is new and has not been mentioned before on numerous other threads?
TIm.
