ASF in the Media

[noirua]

They should go to the ADVFN website in the UK and look how they allow virtually anything to be posted and also allow alterations to posts anytime afterwards, even 5 years later: Thus making it near impossible to moderate.

The Australian newspaper also forgets, or does not know, that there are forums on Australian stocks in the USA (An increasing number of stocks are quoted in the States now, LNC for instance, the company being a subject of ramping there), Canada, UK (some stocks have dual listings in the UK) and Germany. Many of the rumours etc., in fact come from these sites operating abroad. No mention on how they are going to regulate those.
My German is not that good but some kindly post in English as well, trusting that, there is no regulation there of posts on Aussie stocks (FLX, SBM, SOO etc).

Aussie Stock Forums is the most constantly self regulated forum of all.

A tongue-in-cheek post by ASF moderator Kennas is quoted in a Crikey blog: http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/02/27/blogwatch-2020-and-the-lack-of-women-factor/

Oooops! Just realized that was five years ago.

Our very own Logique even had one of his posts quoted in "The Australian" a few years ago!

Another mention in a Crikey blog about Julia Gillard's cleavage: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern...avage-and-grace-collier-the-human-booby-trap/

If you scroll down to near the end of the article you will see a link to ASF where we are labelled "an obscure corner of the internet". We may be a little more obscure than Crikey, but it's clear we have a regular reader or two over there.
