I have been a member of this forum since 2005 and I have seen many posters/folks come and go from this forum. I have never observed the mods being heavy handed or unfair to anyone and in my opinion they all deserve our thanks for keeping this board on track and for doing an excellent job in maintaining the integrity and reputation of this board.
You say they are more user-friendly probably because it's the only place you're allowed to be at this time :rolling: PCGS is nothing to CoinTalk. Here, at least you get warned while at PCGS, you just vanish in thin air....LOL Like mpcusa said "Keep on trucken!!"
Yeah, I was "poofed" in the Great Purge a couple of years ago. They have come close to puling the plug here, too. "Why's everybody always pickin' on me"?
**** this **** i hate the moderators....just kidding i just wanted to see what a notice looks like... haha sorry send me one anyway though.....love yall moderators i have learned so much
Let me guess. You're a tough, old leatherneck who views with disdain the wet behind the ears new 'cruits that are posting here. One more warning, and you'll be on permanent KP. Tie a towel to your bed.
"Why did the chicken cross the road?" "To get from the left to the right." "Stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank." "He ain't a chicken no more." Boom chucka-lucka
He is the greatest ! Shows plenty of patience going over things until I have clearly understood it my own mind ! I am ome of those who absolutely needs to know why things are the way they are, and he has given me the education I desire. My heartfelt thanks to him.
Why is this thread allowed to remain in the U.S. Coins Forum? Seems perfect for the GD forum. Mods, do your job, and move it please. :crying:
Catbert, not to pick on you as many have made that statement but: Why do people get so wrapped up in what forum posts are posted in? I see some reason but just not enough to really worry about it IMO.
Why ? Because of the type of thread it is. Haven't you ever noticed ? If I or another moderator am criticized, insulted, complained about, or even attacked - the thread and the posts stand. Same goes for compliments or even backhanded compliments. Again you might ask why ? Well it is because I will never allow it to be said that you cannot criticize the mods without fear of retaliation. That just aint gonna happen while I'm around. You can away with 10 times as much when criticizing a moderator or me as you can doing the same to another member. Insult, ridicule or attack another member and that post is toast ! Almost instantly. To my way of thinking Catbert, we absolutely have to allow pretty much anyone to say what they want about us in the interst of fairness and openness. That includes where things are posted. Because I won't allow it to be claimed that we "hide" such posts either. But say it about somebody else and you're gonna have a real problem ! That's why.
But Doug... Your the second best moderator on the internet... All the rest are tied for first! (tongue in cheek here) I have been pretty lucky so far, only one post deleted and I dont even remember what it was now. Sure it had something to do with mothers, combat boots or something along those lines. Folks, until you have sat behind the curtain, don't think for a second that its a simple job, Pays terrible, hours are long, and the thank yous are far and few between.
