<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 435181, member: 15199&quot;]I post or lurk on several other coin forums and even a couple of stamp forums. Each has a composition of regulars and these more or less set the pace of the forum and this one is well balanced ( including the unbalanced <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; ). If a forum becomes &quot;possessed&quot; by a bully or a group of bullies, the flavor will change, and the forum begins to rot from within. Newcomers to the &quot;habit&quot; usually don&#039;t know that a 1922 circulated Peace $ is usually worth just melt, or that old 1909 SVBD shouldn&#039;t have been scrubbed with a brillo pad to make it look nice, and the way the members reply often tells a lot about a forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here I&#039;ve noticed that when a truly sarcastic or possibly hurtful remark occurs, regulars call the person on it. In another forum, this doesn&#039;t always happen, the thread instead becomes a &quot;dead zone&quot;.&nbsp; This board by far has the largest &quot;range&quot; of personalities from the cklassic TYPE A to the possibly clinical and the moderation by both the moderators AND the members is excellent. I have moderated a professional list and know how worrisome it can be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
