Is AAM neutral? In my opinion No it is not. It has become corrupted by a few both on the posting and on the moderating side of the fence.
Are consumer interests still being upheld? In my opinion NO.
Does someone ask a question out of sheer boredom and then come back and answer it? Is there too much self advertising going on? Is there incorrect deletion of material? Inappropriate positioning of posts?
I have discussed this point with a few colleagues and the consensus was that we didn't think all is as neutral as it appears on AMM and that its going downhill pretty quickly. We should draw attention to the fact.
Here is what I think needs to be done now:
1. No more unregistered users.
2. Only registered users should be allowed to post and reply all through an editor, not necessarily individual moderators.
3. If a person wants to post then they have to register although by doing so they can choose remain anonymous.
4. If individual moderators are the preferred methood of control then it should be clear, by name, and qualification, precisely who is moderating each forum.
5. The editor (moderator) should have the necessary competence and comprehension of financial matters which will enable an unbiased view on the suitability of the posts and their subsequent replies.
I really feel we must re examine the current direction least this valuable resource looses all credibility.
