    I think PCGS should let trusted forum members "volunteer" moderate (with ability to ban new accounts) during weekend/holiday hours.

    Another good idea would be that all members are on a 30 day probationary period, and they dont become a "full member" until 30 days has passed with no issues. There would be a disqualified, like 3 flagged posts or something, or we could vote on them after 30 days.

    Maybe require an SAT as well (slab aptitude test.)

    Hey @Bambino1 , if you would really like to stay on this forum, then I have a few pieces of advice for you. Delete all of these posts, then apologize publicly to the whole forum. Also, sent an apology to the mods, and I'll give you their name if you want to PM them. How does this sound.

    I already know almost everybody's names here. Ya'll have left a trail of breadcrumbs that is easy to follow, each of you making many posts on forums and social media that clearly and unmistakably identifies you. Again, because I didn't know about silver pennies, you assume I don't possess skills in web and deep web sleuthing. In your haste to ridicule folks as your inferiors, y'all have a habit of chronically underestimating the resourcefulness and savvy of your intended targets.

    Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the forum to make a group apology to me, hats in hands. o:)

    My Name is Dan Decker, you can find me on facebook by the same name.

    Email- Dan@peakrarities.com

    you can find me at - 2500 Quantum Lakes Dr, Boynton Beach, FL 33467

    Let me know if you want a copy of my CCP too 🙃

    Should I be expecting a christmas card from you?

    The CCP?

    You don't often see many Chinese named Decker!

    Are you writing from a penitentiary? It would over the top if the mods jailed you while you are in jail. (Jail is temporary here, a ban is permanent.)

    So, how much does it weigh?

    I am so sorry I took a break from painting the upstairs to read this. @Bambino1. You came here for a reason so here is your pay off. You are completely right and everybody else is completely wrong. There. now you can move on.
    Everyone else. There is no need for a weekend moderator. Use something called self moderation and don't respond. this is obviously a very troubled person who is just seeking attention. This is in fact a coin site so just concentrate on valid coin topics. I am ashamed that a post such as this garners such a response when i have watched numerous actual coin questions get minimal or no response. End of speech. James

    One down and 49 to go! Let's keep those apologies incoming. :)

    I have seriously thought about this specific thing for months, and fully endorse the civilian moderator idea, as long as we are allowed to have a voting thread like we did for the unofficial king. The mods would never let it stand though.

    I can make a bet that you can't figure out my name, as there is only one forum member who even knows what it is. And, I'll give you a hint; it's not Chris. :D

    Irony is quite often a wonderful underpinning as an integral element of humor. If you were blessed with either a sense of humor or personality, you'd already know that.

    I must confess. I've never seen such a bunch of dour, brooding, humorless malcontents like y'all, gathered in one place like this in my entire life.

    It gives meaning to the term, "Misery loves company".
