Works both ways
A ramper might use a BB to constantly espouse the future potential revenue of the company even if unfounded, put ridiculous valuations on a company for possible take over bids and post so often as to drown out other peoples opinions. They might also pick on other posters and mis-represent what they are saying if they take an even a slightly different view to them or an obvious opposing position. This can even go so far as to go offline and become a personal attack if they have access to your email address.
What is De-ramping - and who does it benefit?
This, also, can take different forms. Perhaps a shareholder has gone short on a share, they obviously then need a decline in the shareprice to make a profit, so they will go onto BB's and say anything they can to persuade others that the company is going to fail or a particular product is going to fail. Directors who want to perform a management buyout, might similarly suppress the positives about how the company or products are progressing to a degree where they are not fully informing the market of 'positive' price sensitive news, for their own ends.
A de-ramper can and will also use all of the same tactics as the ramper when it comes to BB's and making sure their message is the only one heard.
