        Bulletin board

A facility on a website which allows users to write messages on a particular subject and "post" them on the site. Other users read the message and post a reply which in turn is visible by anyone else.The idea is to generate a discussion on a particular subject through the thread of messages which is enlightening and helpful.The quality of messages posted on bulletin boards varies widely within each site and from site to site. Some messages will be interesting and informative, others will be puerile and scatological.Financial bulletin boards come with a health warning because of the "pump and dump" messages - that is, messages which promote the virtues of a stock which the poster just happens to hold in his portfolio. As messages can be posted using a pseudonym, the temptation for some people to do this is irresistible. All in all, tips on bulletin boards are best ignored.Some bulletin boards are monitored by an editor, to ensure a quality threshold.
