I noticed that some recently locked threads contain misinformation that could lead to financial harm. Since the thread is locked and the topic is not allowed under forum policies, the misinformation cannot be countered with the facts.
Beware of taking advice from locked threads.

Is this in regards to the stonks thread?

Re: Misinformation in locked threads
If there is something substantive that can be fixed with a link to a wiki entry or some such, you could ask a mod to post it. I've seen a number of mod approved posts to threads that have been locked over the years. Can't hurt to ask them. The problem is kind of self correcting in that locked threads rapidly scroll off the front page.tadamsmar wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 8:05 am I noticed that some recently locked threads contain misinformation that could lead to financial harm.

Re: Misinformation in locked threads
Did you report these threads to the moderators?
The surest way to know the future is when it becomes the past.
Re: Misinformation in locked threads
If anyone sees incorrect or misleading information in a locked thread, please report the post using the ! in the top-right corner of the post and explain what's wrong.
Re: Misinformation in locked threads
I just now reported the posts.
