[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2961741, member: 39"]Yes, I see. The two posts from 2016 that you point at here are there, and everybody can read them and make up his or her mind. While I know you keep claiming that, posts from "the other side", as you call it, are dealt with in pretty much the same way. As far as I can tell, that is, I do certainly not expect you to agree with that. And of course there are many factors that have an influence here, from the time of the day when something gets posted to which moderator reads what. We are not machines or bots ... As for the political character of coins, well, most regular money is issued by countries (local notgeld or tokens are different), and it is the national governments that decide what should be depicted on the coins. In many cases, especially when it comes to dictatorial or authoritarian regimes, the propaganda function of coins (and notes) is obvious. In a democratic country coin designs are usually based on a broad social consensus. But it still is the government that makes the decision - what do we want to convey, what is the message that we have for the users, and maybe for the rest of the world? In that sense, all coins are "propaganda", and I agree that drawing the line at the right place can be difficult. But by and large insinuations are less helpful than, for example, pointing at posts that obviously or possibly violate our rules. Christian[/QUOTE]
