Is there a link to a "Banned Members List" ?

MFH · January 25, 2017 10:35AM

I was told that a frequent poster here, Real One, has been banned.
I wonder what his offense had been ? Just curious to know if its true
and if a few other members who no longer post here are also banned ?!!

Mike, please let me know if I'm on the list!

If you click on the username, the profile appears, and it does indeed say 'banned'. ?

I can't locate the user name... I've searched and nothing comes up.

It's hard making friends with banned members & people riding elevators, too.

TomB · January 25, 2017 11:08AM

Don't worry, quite a few banned members are here under new names. I'm certain Realone will be able to read this if he wants to.

@MFH
I just put 'realone' in the search bar, then clicked on 'realone' that came up in a discussion.

OldEastside · January 25, 2017 12:43PM

Maybe he will be back as a Chinese copy

Really, Who?

. I'm certain Realone will be able to read this if he wants to.

If I was banned I could read this too.

REALONE, Post it on up!

LindeDad · January 25, 2017 1:11PM

Funny question but do they delete the Avatars of banned members when they close the door on them?

lkeigwin · January 25, 2017 1:13PM

If we were to "out" banned members who are here under new names they'd likely be banned again.

In some cases we are very happy to have them back.

Thanks, 1630Boston, I was not connecting Real and One ... I forgot they were used
to form a word. I was able to see his most recent links and it also showed he has not
been on since November 13, 2016.

They must have removed his posts that were offensive to PCGS, so, I have no clue
as to why he was banned. He and I did not see eye to eye - and at times we were less
than friendly - but when someone disappears for a few months - one wonders what
is wrong. At first I didn't give it a second thought that he wasn't posting, as I knew he
had health issues. When a mutual friend asked me if I knew anything, I decided to see
what was amiss.

It's kind of sad when someone gets the boot and the readership is kept in the dark
as to the reasons why he was banned ( basically to know what will get you kicked off
for saying "X-Y -Z" ).

Thanks guys.

I remember his last few posts were asking about banned members

NGC pulled the plug on a member this morning, called himself "hashtag" or something. He made a terrible slander against higher ups, and all his posts there look to have been deleted. Vaporized.

If NGC wanted to do themselves a big favor they would pull Salzberg's rant and take away his ability to post.

BruceS · January 25, 2017 2:50PM

That's too bad, I had a bunch of deals with Dave, he was a good guy. I must have missed his "rant" ATS. But they have a little thicker skin over there, so it must have been pretty bad to get him banned.

Pretty bad is an understatement!! It was a vulgar profanity filled tantrum. It was a bit comical, I had to screenshot it.
His goal was to get banned and he succeeded, I like that NGC is thicker skinned but they had no choice to boot him.

There were two members who recently came and went in a flash. One registered on Jan 15 and his last post before he was banned was just a week later on Jan 22. In fact, he still has a thread that he started that is currently on page two of this Forum. The other member had a similar name and was also here for only a few days or weeks.

Out of curiosity, I looked at their posts and couldn't see anything that would seem bad enough to get them bammed.

So, my thinking was that maybe they were alts of old banned members and someone had found them out.

One of those mentioned that their dad was banned 5 times. So I guess bamming runs in their family. I expect to see them back. It all reminds me of the "Branded" TV series in the mid 1960's....and the drums start rolling.....your sword is broken in two....and out the gates you go. I didn't realize it was Chuck Connors.

I bet he loves the attention he's getting. Right, Allen !?

Actually he was being modest. His "Dad" was banned more than ten times!

Mr. Salzberg does not post to the forums, his post was in the NCG News section from the main page and a board member linked it to the forum where it garnered many follow-up responses just like Mr. Willis' post here did.

I am aware of that. They should take his ability to post to the news section. He obviously lacks the temperament of a seasoned manager.

Is there a link to a "Banned Members List" ?
