<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 7505272, member: 15199"]I have a strong feeling the owners of the forum might not share the premise proposed, as I personally find it is somewhat like trying to make CT closer to platforms maintained by Grading Firms, which I think are exclusive ( but like CT they have to follow the structure proposed by the owners). If that is how they want their forums to runs, that's what they want. Try to change it from their ideas and stuff happens. As long as you follow the rules here, (This very thread is an example), no one is going to kick you out. They may disagree strongly, but you won't be banished. </p><p> The question is " Why if some members do not like such questions, do they still answer them ? There is no bonus other than increasing posts numbers, and (some people do like to get on the top 10 list), but that is a low reward. If I had to answer every question posted, I would move to a specialized coin forum(s) where the discussion is quite limited, but specific knowledge is still available. Some perhaps get their personal frustrations off onto others by typing 'snarky' messages to newcomers or beginners. I read lot of rather strange questions on off topic stuff by long term , known to be knowledgeable people sometimes also, and I am sure many of you think the same of me so [mime image]!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want something changed, write to Doug and Peter and give suggestions if you want.
