I haven't seen any pump or dump activity in the freakbin (not that I monitor it 24 hours a day). The freakbin is meant for REGULAR users of the exchange who have views that are typically offensive. It gives them an outlet which doesn't disrupt regular users and is in some ways a reward for being loyal members for so long. It's an attempt to make the exchange more professional. An attempt! I think with the recent payban introductions people have been self moderating fairly well.
