<< <i>We do ban on occasion, both temporarily and permanently. Usually the temporary bans are merely to deal with small issues like this, and once they are taken care of an sufficiently dealt with the ban is removed. We do, however, reserve the right to limit (and yes, even censor) the posts on this board. PCGS Currency pays for the technology necessary to host this board, and provides it as an educational forum. The first amendment, however, does not apply, as this is first and foremost a business, not a community organization or university setting. This isn't a democracy.

Great pic!
Edited to add "the rest of the story" since you got me curious...
"Sometimes a temporary band is the quickest (and easiest for us) way to deal with a problem before it escalates, especially on a weekend when we are trying to enjoy the rest of our lives and not think about Currency, so that we can sort out everything later. We felt that a few of his posts amounted to an advertisement for a competing firm, obviously something in the realm of that which we cannot permit. We have not had the chance to speak with John, and the banning was meant as a way of preventing further posts until we could speak with him personally. I like John and think that he does much on this board that is commendable, but sometimes even innocently meant posts can cross the line. This was one of those examples."
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
<< <i>I am curious how you "accidently clicked on the currency forum". Were you trying to get into the busy autographs forum?
The currency forum is right under the BST for coins on my list.... I was thinking "who are these cats"
Then I found the thread of interest... And seen the member posting was the President of PCGS Currency...
Found his response to be a little funny and scary at the same time.... So I had to pull the scared monkey
out of retirement....
Since I found out today this is not a democracy after all....
<< <i>You could get banned for taking shots at members of the currency forum. Just food for thought. >>
Quoting someone is not taking shots at them....
<< <i>They STILL haven't banned YOU yet????? >>
NO....
<< <i>You could get banned for taking shots at members of the currency forum. Just food for thought. >>
I read some of their posts......sometimes one can't help taking shots at such big targets
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Now why would anyone do such a bad thing to such a nice man
