I am impressed with PCGS and the way they allow freedom to express on the site

My message title says it all....

in many forums / message boards.... the host company would not allow 1/10 of the nonesense that is posted here....

I think this
A. makes PCGS boards the place to be
B. makes a better board since there is very little censorship

I'll agree with that.

Yeah, they still let me post "What exactly is PCGS's so-called AUTHENTICITY guaranty?", but won't answer!

I was booted from the Ebay boards, because of comments about the fee increase. What does FeeBay expect?? Of course people are going to voice their opion.

They have their limits -- as they should, I guess, since I'm not going to let someone come into my house and trash me -- but for the most part, they're pretty good about allowing stuff that respectfully questions their policies and judgment.

I am under the impression that a number of forum members have been banned without receiving cautions or warnings first. In at least some of those instances, I believe that out of fairness, a warning should have been issued to the posters. That said, generally, we are given a great deal of lattitude here.

There have been a few times when I retracted a post after previewing it.

OTOH, I have said a few things that weren't very complementary of PCGS grading inconsistencies. Particularly the ones that killed me financially. A couple of times I cringed about the possible repercussions, but I just had to say it at the time.

PCGS crackouts that lose 80% of their value, even thought they were solid candidates for upgrades. That sort of thing really ticked me off and the fact is, there really was a change in standards the first part of last year. Regardless of what TPTB may say, from my point of view, I got scrod.

Still, I have to agree that we can pretty much say what we want if we've got legimate beefs. I've never wanted to post across the street and I always prefer my slabs to be PCGS, even with the headaches that can sometimes cause.

So all in all, I give them a big hand for allowing the freedom we do have and I hope that never changes. I'd really be upset if I found myself on the outside. My connections through this site have certainly made me a few friends and I've done well overall due to the myriad of experiences that the members here provide.

I'll give PCGS an "A" for this forum, no question it's the place to be. I may lurk more than I post these days, but the PM function is priceless.

I just need to remember to use the word "nonsense" in the future and I should be OK.

It's a pretty open forum. I ma grateful for it and have made a few good friends and increased my interest because of it.

In my 5 years here the members that have been banned from this forum, that I have seen, DESERVED THE BAN !! PCGS bent over backwards for a couple of them and the members just would not let up.

No Kool Aid either. Its just a fact.

I disagree--the Devil Man intentionally posted personal information about another person in violation of Board policy and deserved the immediate boot!
