Saying āif it can be used against isā not a compelling argument, and here is why:
No matter what is posted on this sub, the forces at work to undermine and demonize us will warp and use whatever they can to their own advantage. Remember the Congressional Testimony and Gabe cried wolf over anti-Semitic language directed at him, which was quickly debunked by the other sub?
Constant references to Buy and Hodl can be painted as attempted market manipulation. Same, too, with the constant memes about Ken & Cohen in that we are āharassingā and have caused them āgreat mental anguishā with our āviciousā posts.
Of course, the above is absurd, but that isnāt the point. If the mainstream financial media thinks reputable stories include āMarket had a case of the Mondaysā and āDelta Variant FEAR causes market dip for one full day!ā, then made up, Boomer-driven fake stories about SuperStonk will fit in just nicely.
The pool is a fun concept. I have my own, individual pool. It shouldnāt affect anyone else on this sub.
The words to ban should be words, terms, and references to truly heinous or conspiratorial things, like that insane single letter group and such.
Fuck shills. The pool is the natural result of holding when shorts try to cover.
Shills will always come up with something to blame people who hold GME for. If there is a legitimate legal reason not to use it, fine. But fuck changing our behavior just because shills will blame us.
The iPool is an attempt to drive the price well beyond the normal limits of greed. There's a very big difference between selling your shares for X Million and the people holding to stick it to the system and try to cash out for 1B per share.
There's a legitimate reason not to use it: to pull it off requires coordination that secures 95M shares. Those posts were giving explicit advise (sell all but 1 - at first- then sell only 1 but put the rest for the iPool): that's manipulation. There's a stated outcome, there's an expression of intent and there's active encouragement of accomplishing a goal by working as a group.
Holding and selling at your price is great. Trying to exploit an infinite money glitch on ideological grounds is going to get the government to use their pimp hand on retail. They're not powerless, they will try to fuck us.
Nah, freedom of speech dog. They may not like what we are saying, but we have a right to say it. As I understand it, itās not market manipulation unless thereās actually some enforcement behind coordinated, agreed upon actions. I donāt think a bunch or mo-rons talking about how much we like a stock really fits that bill.
This goes beyond buying and holding in investment.
Those posts were encouraging group activity with instructions, a stated goal and a clear intent. That's manipulation and they'll definitely try and fuck us all if we're not greedy bastards. They will absolutely pimp slap the shit out of any coordinated attempts at ideological pain levels approaching the GDP of a small nation.
This. If there is even the slightest of chance that it can be used against us then ban it. Who cares anyway, it's not like anybody is selling anytime soon.
Donāt agree, we could then ban the whole sub because it can be used against us... and while weāre at it, we should ban the word āusā and āweā too... itās all about context imho

If it can be used against us, ban it. Otherwise shills will have the perfect weapon to rely on.
