Maybe "fines" wasn't the proper term. Lawsuit settlements would probably be more appropriate.
Legal action is getting more prevalent with regards to online slander. The company seems to always win and typical awards are about $75,000 in favour of the company. VMS Ventures, Northstar Healthcare, Intertainment, St. Elias Mines, Lion Energy, Augen Capital and Vaquero Energy are a few cos. that have pursued lawsuits against Stockhouse posters. Barrick got into the action winning a $125,000 settlement from a single poster for implying that Barrick controlled the gold market and that they stole one of their properties. The big winner to date has been Farallon Resources which was awarded $425,000 against 3 posters - the largest online slander award to date. Google if you wish to verify. Comments some of these posters made pale in comparison to what you're saying.
Might be a good way to pay for a special dividend. Sue your butt off! Either way, you've gone too far as a basher. Your comments and intentions are pretty transparent. Personally, I don't care what you post. Have a good weekend all.
