I recently started a thread about PCGS employees/affiliates and the Registry Set program and the potential for conflict of interest. After a day or so I attempted to check in on the thread for other's opinions etc, but the thread was apparently "poofed"! I know there was at least 9 or 10 quick posts before I left the boards. I messaged Don W. to see what happened but I've not heard back. Anybody have a similar experience that can add some insight?
Maybe you violated one of the commandments..

Seriously? You post a thread suggesting the impropriety of the company who pays and funds this message board and wonder why they think that the thread should be removed. Thankfully it was also without malice and you are still here to post another day.
This is where I am unclear! I did not impugn PCGS, it's employees, or PCGS affiliates. I guess I technically could have caused the powers that be to invoke Rule 10. IMHO I simply asked a question about Registry Set participation.... I reached out to DW for clarification and to make sure I don't violate rules.... I am aware that he doesn't owe me any explanations, See Rule 1, but I would hope that we could ALL learn from other's wisdom/insight.
I know, I know, see Rule 1! This is not a democracy etcetera, but it is a place to advance the hobby. By definition, that promotes the interests of our host....

When PCGS feels a post is inappropriate they take one or two steps.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Rule 1) This is not a public forum. This is a PCGS forum paid for by PCGS and provided for PCGS customers to exchange information regarding collecting US coins. We make the rules this is not a democracy.

I'd have to give it some thought, this conflict of interest. But we are to believe that the graders have no idea who the coins they are grading belong to. I'm good with that because there are "the grading standards" that keep us all in line.

After thinking about it all day today, the only thing I can come up with is that there are just some questions beyond which there are no answers. Like, why is there air? Or which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or....are you serious?
Actually, it was the chicken. It......crawled out of the ocean in some size, shape and form and eventually became one. But this doesn't bode well with why we still have monkeys, gorillas and apes if one believes everything has evolved from one thing to another. Personally, I think I'm evolving into a rock and will eventually end up in a box. Have I mentioned I've returned to my Indian artifacts collection?
