As promised here is the reply that I received from Stockhouse. From now on please follow their prompts and complain directly to them. I for one feel like I am getting tired of hearing all about what someone else 'did on your board'.

Dear [Buxom1],
Thank you for contacting us today with your inquiry. First, I would like to inform you that our administrators do not monitor or investigate any discussion on any Bullboard. This is because the Bullboard is a public online forum. If we were to monitor the activity of every poster, we can then be held legally liable for *anything* and *everything* posted.
That is why we strongly encourage our readers to report any offending post(s) to our administrators by using the "Report a Bullboards Violation" tool located just below every message. This is required so that every claim submitted and every action taken on the post(s)/poster is kept on record in the case any legal issue were to arise. Be assured that we review all complaints made several times a day during regular business hours. Please be advised that only posts containing spamming, physical threats, swear words or implied swear words will be removed.
If the violation occurs multiple times the poster's account is suspended for 7 days. After that 7 day warning, the account is then reinstated. However, if they continue to violate the Terms of Use, their account will then be suspended indefinitely.
Furthermore, another alternative you have is to take legal action on the offending user. In order to do this, we will require your legal council to contact us with a 'Court Order' requesting to have a specific post(s) removed or even to obtain the account information of a particular member of Stockhouse.
Thank you for your assistance in keeping the Bullboards free of inappropriate content. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Sincerely yours,
Stockhouse Member Support

Hello Stockhouse personnel,
Out of curiousity does stockhouse ever intervene and reprimand/terminate a bullboard poster's identity?
Where this question is coming from is that I have recently read two bullboard postings which were in my opinion questionable. One bullboard had a racist remark in it and the other bullboard had a swear word in it.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated,
Cordially,
[Buxom1]
