Dear Members,

We have noted a trend of alarmist titling of posts; perhaps in an attempt to spur discussion. This thread was previously titled 'Olympia De-Listed'

Apart from it being irresponsible, we need to realise our community has grown in numbers and often such titles appear cheap and deceitful.

Note also Google frequently crawls our site and search results such as 'Michael Joseph new CEO for Airtel' or 'Safaricom profit warning' lower the reputation of the Wazua brand.


The Wazua spirit

WOW . interesting. if Olympia will be de-listed what about Access Kenya ???? the stock has returned -40% YTD ( year to date )thats y i suggest we shld be able to short stocks on N.S.E .

but this idea of wazua admin changing titles of threads is just absurd.Remember wazua we made you so its good to let freedom reign.I aint hatin but i hope you get my point.

So big brother’s opinion matters.

Sometimes there is a thin line between censorship and editing. I have nothing against anyone correcting or controlling misinformation provided that the line between censorship and editing does not become blurred. especially tricky where the content is user generated. Saw a gripe on a thread – cant remember which - where an alarmed Wazuan was wondering aloud where their post(s) disappeared to.
Perhaps we should be directed to the rules on posting.

In this case? Short answer: No.

This was more a concern about whether I (the poster) have guidelines regarding what I can and cant say here (aside from common sense). How polite should I be or how crass can I get before becoming a user , how accurate should my information be, should I post on the understanding that someone may believe what I say and use that info...and so on.
AND whether the editor knows when not to cross the editing line. I imagine its frustrating to have a post ‘disappeared’ by someone. And you did hear the one about the camel’s tent – the one where the camel asked a man if he could stick his nose in the tent, and then his head, and then his neck and then his whole self tail and all. If the rules arent clear, you just keep going down some slippery slope.

Wazua did the right thing... It is illegal to shout "Fire" in a movie theater when there is no fire... Folks get hurt for no reason...

Wazua is right. As per earlier posts you'll realise that wazua has got some clout on some investment decisions within and some titles create unnecessary panic and misinformation.
As for Olympia, i think the snr Wamae should replace the son. This guy has been making all the wrong decisions ever since. He even misused funds from the rights issue! Though delisting will be drastic, IMHO all they require is a Ciano at the helm and not the matu guy...
