Xela: More Likes than Posts!!

SkyChef · Nov 21, 2017

Life is difficult. We always look at the world through the opening of our container, whether it's up, down or around. For those unwilling to look at different angles, get out before the bell tolls or your fortune will be gone when the world changes. The amount of frustration of those seeing opportunity but couldn't get the max to their potential is just amazing and I will leave it to them to figure it out.

PS: And I know Xela will response just like that ...

A very good summary from the situation on ET. Good posters are chased away and the trolls (with the T from ET) stay and wait for the next victim.

Go to ForexFactory there Troll's are 1000x's worse than here, so much you won't notice them here, just poor traders blowing off steam, nothing to worry about.

Trolls bring people in, trolls create traffic, which equals advert clicks, just use the ignore function.

Please go over there to ForexFactory and leave ET.

It’s a start.

Baron, please start banning these trolls. If Xela can’t post without this kind of harassment then maybe ET isn’t the best place for my sponsorship dollars

Why should I be sponsoring a site that chases away serious traders ? Trolls can’t become clients - their lives are shitty so they live to make other people feel shitty. And shitty miserable people can’t make good traders.

This entirely kindly intentioned thread confounded me a little: I didn't know how (or even whether) it was appropriate to reply.

Many thanks to the posters of the kind comments above.

Regarding all the unkind comments (by no means limited to this thread), although I don't usually dignify such nonsense with any response at all, I will this time: it's beyond ridiculous that a small handful of people very repeatedly accuse me, in thread after thread after thread, of being NoDoji, a TopStepTrader employee, one of the daughters of Al Brooks, Al Brooks himself, or even a man called "Alex".

It's pure trolling - and ironic, too: anonymous internet personas themselves, so repeatedly alleging (or just stating, as if it were simply factual) that I'm deliberately deceiving people here about my identity.

It's relentless, it's unwarranted, it's untruthful, it's entirely unprovoked, and it's downright malicious, too: these comments are designed solely to impugn my integrity in public. Clearly they serve no other purpose at all. That's just plain nasty.

I've done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to deserve, to invite or to justify these endless accusations of deception.

There's no reason, by any normal standards of decency, why anyone should continue indefinitely to tolerate such persistent, unprovoked malice.

Having Asperger's syndrome myself, I'm admittedly really bad at trying to envisage other people's potential reactions, but I imagine (and am assured by many people here) that almost everyone would eventually feel exactly the same way, when so continually falsely accused of lying and deceiving people, wouldn't they?

Together with the moderators' express refusal to do anything about this so-persistent, malicious trolling - which would be so easy to remedy - the whole thing, naturally enough, alienates me from posting here.

It's not just about me, obviously (which is why it was worth mentioning at all, for once): there's a much broader, much more significant issue here. At a time when both trading and trading-forum participation generally are seeing such an increase, this forum clearly has a serious member retention problem. No surprise there: it's glaringly obvious which very small group of persistently hostile members the moderation policies choose to retain and protect, at the expense of inexorably losing a far larger turnover of other contributors. That's how ET is run, and clearly there's nothing that I or any other individual member can do about it but choose to stop posting here - as, indeed, so many do.

The forum is knowingly harbouring and protecting malicious trolls while effectively driving away their victims.

In my opinion that's a real problem, and apparently it's one that nobody's willing even to try to deal with.

Agreed completely and forwarded to site ownership. I do not intend to continue to subsidize this trollfest. I contracted to sponsor and promote serious Trading and trade craft communal discussion - and right now this is not ET I’m sorry to say.

No, if you were a mature rational adult you’d apologize to Xela. As would the other creeps.

BTW, your own posts are weak trade craft-wise. Pick up your game.

Why? I think you've massively got the wrong end of the stick, nobody is bashing Xela or very few, certainly not me, you jump in and took a frank conversation the wrong way, about woman and trading, wasn't aimed at Xela, so who needs to apologise?

Xela has nothing to offend anyone I've seen.

Stop the troll hunting very few on ET

Don't you openly say that you get clients from here? At $7,500 a pop, I think you need ET more than ET needs you.

Most of my clients come from personal referrals from past clients in the professional Trading community. The same clients who won’t post on ET because it will no longer accommodate a serious Trading discussion.
