I've just reported this post to LSE admins:

"Could you please take a serious look at this posting and consider why a new forum has been created and why so many long‑standing contributors have left.

These three accounts have been reported countless times over an extended period, yet they continue posting without interruption, consistently derailing any attempt at factual or technical discussion. The ongoing lack of effective moderation is allowing this behaviour to persist and is driving knowledgeable posters away."

Outstanding many thanks Seabright this was a complete lightbulb moment for me – hand on heart I used AI to help me understand this but it all makes complete sense now:

“The key message buried inside today’s RNS is that MOU 6 will proceed regardless of whether a buyer or partner signs now. By allocating funds to long lead items and explicitly protecting the drilling schedule, Predator is signalling that it has both the capability and the intention to move ahead independently. This is a deliberate strengthening of their negotiating position.

In farm out or JV discussions, the greatest leverage a counterparty has is the belief that the operator needs them. Predator has removed that leverage. By stating that operational preparations for MOU 6 are continuing in parallel with partner due diligence, they are effectively asking the potential partner: “Are you willing to risk us drilling this without you?” If MOU 6 is successful, the cost of entry rises dramatically, and the partner loses influence over development terms.

This is why the announcement reads less like a routine financing update and more like a strategic positioning statement. The raise itself is modest, but the language around Morocco is pointed. Predator is signalling confidence, independence, and time pressure. The real audience isn’t just shareholders — it’s the counterparty currently negotiating terms.

In short: yes, this is a positioning announcement disguised as a financing update.”

It would be ideal if you could filter someone out so completely that not even a green box survives — just total erasure, like they never existed in the first place.

UAE pull out of OPEC on 1st May...ADNOC no longer have restrained quotas and look to expand...

Blimey!

I read one post from NicoN40 and instantly thought, “I really like this guy!” What a journey you’ve had — honestly, most people don’t pack that much plot into an entire lifetime. You’ve managed it in a few years and still come out the other side with your humour, your family, and your sanity intact. That’s elite‑level survival.

Life’s clearly thrown the full kitchen sink at you, but you’ve got your feet back under you and things are heading the right way again. Proper resilience, that — the sort you can’t fake.

Wishing you and the family nothing but calm days, steady progress, and a big slice of the upside when PRD finally decides to stop messing about and behave itself. 👍

Yes some excellent research and analysis carried out by Keith all posted over on X and Reddit where the sock puppets can’t spout their usual utter dross – absolutely brilliant!

Paul’s exact words in the last interview regarding the upcoming MOU‑6 drill were: “That well will not be currently funded by the company.” Make of that what you will.

And crucially — Predator remains completely debt‑free.

St George’s Day tomorrow – could be a very good day...🇬🇧

Yep I agree with that, I've been doing a 1m dummy sell every day for weeks now and always had an instant offer.

Porters1, you say you’re invested — yet you’ve repeatedly pushed the “fundraiser incoming” line. Fine. Then let’s deal in specifics:

• What size raise?

• At what price?

• Based on what evidence, filing, or disclosure?

• And crucially, what valuation are you assigning post funding?

If you genuinely believe dilution is guaranteed and imminent — and you state these things as if they are 100% facts — then your position makes no sense. Any rational investor who is certain of a near term drop would:

• Sell now

• Protect capital

• Buy back lower

• Or simply move on entirely

Yet you remain here, posting daily, while claiming absolute certainty of negative outcomes.

That contradiction is the point. If you truly held shares and truly believed what you’re saying, you’d act on it. Instead, you’re trying to convince others of something you’re not willing to act on yourself.

So either:

1. You don’t believe your own claims,

2. You’re not actually invested,

3. Or you’re pushing a narrative for reasons unrelated to “concern”.

Whichever it is, the behaviour speaks louder than the posts.

Why are you invested in Predator?

The silence is deafening…and that tells its own story.

So Predator has:

• No gas

• No oil

• No helium

• No funding

• No licence extension

• No JV interest

• No farm in partner

• No buyers for Trinidad

• No commerciality

• No timelines

• No competent advisers

• No chance of legal recourse in Ireland

• No future, no prospects, no anything

…and yet the same people post here day after day, week after week, month after month trying to drag everything down even more…why is that?

Now they’ve moved on to questioning the competence of Scorpion Geoscience - When one claim dies, they simply manufacture the next one. It’s a conveyor belt of recycled dross.

You can keep moving the goalposts, but it doesn’t change what’s coming. Companies like this don’t stay undervalued forever.

There’s an inflection point very shortly ahead, and when it hits, sentiment will flip fast…

As you are actively posting this morning Titanasaurus / Porters1, care to answer my question? - Gudin had the decency to respond.

Why are you invested in Predator?

Gudin, you’ve laid out your case here, and thanks for that — missed timelines, dilution, questions over the 5.9 TCF, Morocco results, and previously you even compared it to other plays like Block Energy.

Genuine question though — if you believe Block Energy or any other companies have better assets, better deals, and clearer execution, why continue holding PRD? Why not bite the bullet and simply sell up and move into those opportunities instead?

Is there still some upside you see here that outweighs those concerns, or is it more a case of waiting to get back to your average before selling or reallocating?

Not having a go — just trying to understand the actual investment case from your perspective, given how negative your view is.

The one question you will never answer is the only one that matters:

Why are you invested in Predator.

Not the emojis, not the daily chaos, not the recycled “truth‑teller” routine. 

A straight explanation of your own position.

You won’t give it. 

Because you can’t.

And that silence says more about your agenda than any of your posts ever will.

No — that statement is not correct.

The 2 million at 3.375p was not a sell, and the bid/offer was not 3.33 / 3.46 “all session”.

Just tried a 7 figure dummy sell and got an instant offer — they certainly want you to sell though!

As you said Madman Rob, in the recent interview Paul’s exact wording regarding the MOU 6 drill, delivered with a knowing smile that suggested he wasn’t ready to reveal too much, was:

“That well will not be currently funded by the company.”

So I guess you have to read into that what you will.

Why is it some seem completely intent on talking Predator down, but when you compare its track record with other companies, the contrast is clear. Paul Griffiths and his team have delivered consistent, tangible progress in both Trinidad and Morocco, and they have done so while maintaining a disciplined share structure. That is no small achievement.

Early‑stage O&G companies inevitably require dilution to fund drilling and appraisal because they have no income. That is simply the nature of the sector. What matters is how responsibly that dilution is managed. Predator has kept its shares in issue comparatively low, has avoided excessive fundraising, and most importantly carries zero debt. For a company of its size progressing two projects simultaneously in two geographical locations thousands of miles apart, that is a position that many others I’m sure envy.

As has been said before it’s very simple, if you’re so unhappy with the investment case, the straightforward option is to exit, even at a loss and invest elsewhere rather than continually complaining (in some cases day in and day out) on here.

From my perspective all the pieces are now coming together, yes there have been delays but that is part and parcel of O&G exploration, and you can’t discount the volatility over the last few years in the world – personally I’m more than comfortable being invested here.

Posts are reported, some are removed, and certain accounts are temporarily restricted. Shortly afterwards, the same style of posts reappear — either from the same users or from newly created accounts.

The cycle simply repeats.

In practical terms, the only effective options are to ignore or block the accounts involved so the board can remain focused on factual discussion.

LSE administration appears largely indifferent to addressing this recurring issue.
