Unwritten rules of the Coin Forum!

MGLICKER · January 30, 2014 2:22PM

Let's keep it friendly.

1. Do not post a guess the grade thread on New Years Day, before noon.

2. Be creative when lampooning Ebay. Bay of E and Feebay are worn out.

3. An occasional sympathy post to a Sacagawea thread is a kindness that will assure you a primo spot in heaven.

Rule 4. Don't write down the unwritten rules of the coin forum

AUandAG · January 30, 2014 2:37PM

Rule number 5: Read all the unwritten rules twice before posting.

LochNESS · January 30, 2014 7:01PM

Unlucky unwritten rule #13: Don't PM someone a BST offer and then forget to check your PMs inbox (for their reply) for two weeks …

I'm the guilty one here; sorry Jeremy.

derryb · January 30, 2014 7:35PM

#14 Don't post a question on the PM forum only because you are to embarassed to ask it here.

MGLICKER · January 30, 2014 8:11PM

#15. When posting an image the size of a large Montoni's pizza, expect every microscopic flaw to be critiqued.

lcoopie · January 30, 2014 8:27PM

respect your Master Collectors and Name your Titles,

messydesk · January 30, 2014 10:24PM

34. ... never mind.

MGLICKER · January 30, 2014 10:32PM

#16. Off topic threads are permitted as long as the poster states Off topic and it is weather or football related.

georgiacop50 · January 30, 2014 11:26PM

OldEastside · January 30, 2014 11:30PM

thread

TwoSides2aCoin · January 30, 2014 11:31PM

If you can't post something nice, post something else, but keep it numismatically related if at all possible, especially as it pertains to U.S. Coins. (that's my own unwritten rule, and a little philosophical bullion never hurt anyone)

ricko · January 30, 2014 11:37PM

#24 (I think, count may be screwed up) - Tolerate RickO's lack of photo taking/posting skills since he does not know how... Cheers, RickO

LindeDad · January 30, 2014 11:40PM

Whatever # Photobucket account Required ...

When arguing with idiots over the Internet, you are guilty by association.

<< When arguing with idiots over the Internet, you are guilty by association. >>

I was going to argue with this, but then....oh nevermind.

Don't feed trolls.

Coinsponge · January 31, 2014 12:20AM

Rule 19 ror 101: Try and have a little respect for your Spouses when posting.

Oops, make that #26. Reminds me about something I do too much. Read to the end of the thread before posting. Guilty.

ColonelJessup · January 31, 2014 1:15AM

Once a rule becomes written and definable, it becomes easier to subvert. .

This entire thread, in attempting to create Order, is promoting more Chaos. .

Sort of like spilling champagne on the deck of Titanic and promoting more of a flood.

When someone starts a thread with an outrageous opening post, use the quote feature before they have a chance to delete their opening post.

taxbuster1040 · January 31, 2014 1:40AM

Rule number 27= Never ask if buying a coin is a good investment......This will always get a response that you shouldn't 'invest" in coins......

MGLICKER · January 31, 2014 1:51AM

#28....Never brag about an Ebay rip until it is safely in your hands!

DennisH · January 31, 2014 2:15AM

#29: Smile and hold your tongue when someone makes a disparaging comment about Morgan VAMs and the people who collect them. Sooner or later, they'll have a coin that makes them wonder "what in the hell is this" and come come asking for help.

MGLICKER · January 31, 2014 2:40AM

#30. The best threads start with "I just got of the phone with...."

pocketpiececommems · January 31, 2014 2:52AM

I this thread of rules is still going on Feb 2nd and it has a shadow there will be six more weeks of rules.

There's a superb movie "Bang the Drum Slowly" - De Niro's first role. A baseball rookie, a couple of vets school him at TEGWAR. In which a Double Napoleon is trumped by a Duke, a Double Play is trumped by an Ump, etc. .

The newbie, knowing he'd been duped, and with much delight to the perps, later asks the vets what TEGWAR means.

In Classic Brooklynese, it is explained. "The Exciting Game Without Any Rules"......

BlindedByEgo · January 31, 2014 4:00AM

<< #19 - Don't take disagreement personal. >>

#32 - Know that adverbs are your friends.

ebaybuyer · January 31, 2014 4:05AM

if proper grammar was a requirement here, there would be fewer rules because there would be ALOT less people

"A LOT" is two words.

#33....Very little good happens after the first 28 posts.

dogwood · January 31, 2014 5:03AM

Newbs with Newps are better than Newbs with Nukes.
