[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1982687, member: 112"]No, it is not CT protecting itself. We don't need any protection. It's really simple - it's because that's what the rules are - period. And the rules are what they are because we don't want the forum turned into one big coin venue. We want the forum to be used for discussing coins, and solely for that, not the buying and selling of them. People list prices for coins they are selling in the advertising sections every day. And we have no problem with that, we don't need any protection there. That's why we provide that area for the members. And members can talk and discuss prices just as much as they want to. And it is done every day. What they cannot do is talk and discuss prices of coins they are trying to sell or buy. edit - and as for Mat being a moderator, that doesn't have 1 single thing to do with it. Moderators have to obey and follow the rules just like everybody else. And everybody is treated [U]exactly[/U] the same when it comes to the rules. There is one thing that makes it a little bit different for Matt - he's a dealer. As a dealer, pretty much any coin he has is for sale - everybody knows that. So as a dealer Matt has to be extra careful about what he says and how he says it, in order to stay within the forum rules. And of course this applies to every other member of this forum that is also a dealer - and there are many. So yeah, it's harder for Matt, but it's harder because he's a dealer, not because he's a moderator.[/QUOTE]
