<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 594267, member: 15309"]Here is my feedback. How can a coin website ban certain coins? If any government of any country found it acceptable to put the design on their coinage, I fail to see how the coin can be so offensive that it needs to be censored. Either the coin's design is a artistic depiction or a political platform. Art should never be censored and ignoring political coins such as those from Nazi Germany are denying history. Neither of these two practices of censorship will lead to enlightenment or heightened education.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, the only reason a coin should be censored is that if somehow it exposes the owner/operator of the site to personal financial liability. Short of that, coins should not be censored just because this is a family oriented website. I agree that profanity and abusive language should be censored, but to ban coins from a coin website is just not American and borders on fascism.</p><p><br /></p><p>Telling me there is a list of coins that is banned only infuriates me more. I implore you never to post such a list on this site EVER! I want you to know that I respect the authority of the owners and moderators of this site to run it how they see fit. However, without members, there is no site. Advertising and supporting censorship of coins on a coin website will inevitably lead to a decline in membership. I you would like to discuss this further, I respectfully request that we take this to a PM discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
