Where should I mail that $5 bill?

Scammers realise they can't screw members here and take there scams elsewhere.

... a member starts a new thread rather than change the topic of an existing thread.

I've seen your inventory. Can I pick one of my liking?

I like it better when moderators aren't ban happy.

AmazonX · July 28, 2017 10:46PM

Obviously when @AmazonX posts.

Although he does not post much (judging from his profile), this must be an inside joke between the both of you.

As a man of few words myself, I shall post a comment:

The forum is a better place when we discuss the one coin imaged by the OP rather than all the coins added to the thread unless it is one of the threads that asks for coins to be posted in which case the more the better because that allows all of us to see neat coins that belong to other members who took the time to image them as a way of education us and keeping the thread or discussion going for several pages which is generally a good thing as long as no trolls join in and no arguments are started by members who have known each other for a long time and generally use the forum to one-up each other about some trivial thing on a posted image that only they care about.

giantsfan20 · July 29, 2017 12:18AM

Stick to the topic at hand and NOpolitical talks.

giantsfan20 · July 29, 2017 12:24AM

Moderators ban happy i would say quite the opposite. Look how long that infamous Roosevelt Dime thread ran and proably got banned because he unflattering comment about a certain dealer.

cointime · July 29, 2017 1:02AM

Trolls are only found in Skyrim Elder Scrolls V

coinkat · July 29, 2017 4:30AM

Coins take center stage without the side show.

@Insider2...I think you just set the forum record for a run on sentence.... Cheers, RickO

WingedLiberty1957 · July 29, 2017 7:22AM

Sadly, I am the most entertained during the few days just before a thread gets poofed and people get banned. When passions are running high.

Not at all. We have never really communicated. Regulated has been posting more then usual lately and I for one appreciate it. I wanted him to know that. I hope he continues. Not only does he have a great sense of humor he is as knowledgeable as they come in a lot of areas that aren't in my wheelhouse. I truly appreciate the discourse in the discussions he's involved in and since my area of interests are shifting going to school on guys like McCarthy is priceless. Now if only JK would come out of semi coin retirement. I miss him.

When members respect the fact that cac is a competitor to the forum host and not an add on like fuzzy dice to a 57' Chevy.

BillJones · July 29, 2017 7:46AM

Before CAC existed, or at least before it took control of so many hearts and minds.

Walkerguy21D · July 29, 2017 7:48AM

When Billjones, TomB, or RogerB (and probably a few others) present their in-depth well documented research complete with excellent photography, taking painstaking time and effort to educate all of us.

.

YQQ · July 29, 2017 8:44AM

when everyone respects others for what they are,
for the knowledge they have...or not have.
Irrelevant how long they are collectors,
how rich or poor they are...
How easy they understand explanations or not, or how high level their numismatic understanding is
and how familiar they are using high level numismatic terms and expressions.
when we respect and support that a young 8 year old collects circulation many diverted from his allowance because simply, he has great enjoyment doing so.... and wants to become a member here.

LOL. Someone on another thread posted that no matter the subject or the coin being discussed on CU the thread often evolves into a discussion about CAC. I have not been here long enough to know.

Here is one...The forum is a better place when the OP's discussion is not hijacked.

Please think before you post in reply. Due to the OP's question, IMO, no highjacking has occurred in this thread. Until:

Parting shot: A CAC sticker goes on the slab from PCGS. The TPGS got their money. They MAY have gotten more money on the same coin (prior submissions) before it finally received the sticker. I should think CAC was a parasite in a symbiotic relationship w/PCGS rather than a competitor!

I think of it this way. A sticker means the coin is more likely to be regraded and regrades mean more revenue

SONOMOSCA · July 29, 2017 9:22AM

When your able to see the members handle that flagged you for abuse for no good reason.

Edited to add: I was alerted from a nice member that there is a way of seeing who flagged you.

Doing what's said below from the Reactions section on your wall:

If you click "Abuse" one post will come up. If you click "Flag" for that post then a dropdown menu appears and you will see that "Abuse" was hit. Simply move your cursor over "Abuse" and the name of the person who chose this option will appear.

brg5658 · July 29, 2017 9:28AM

...when people know the difference between "you're" and "your"....and the difference between "then" and "than"...

It's hard to take someone seriously in threads when they can't even be bothered with remedial English.

lordmarcovan · July 29, 2017 9:52AM

When I think of CarlWohlforth and Bear and other bygone - but not forgotten - friends.

When @ricko posts and almost always has something nice to say (to me, anyway).

When I forget about my stubborn dislike of the software and remember how many awesome people there are here.

... etc.

LOL, You got me, I just wasted some time reading everything I posted here rather then do some writing as I thought your're post was directed to me.

Regulated has been around here a bit longer, and so there are many here who are well acquainted with him. You could introduce yourself in person to him if you visit Kagin's table at a major show.
Regulated is usually so busy with his position that time doesn't afford him as much opportunity to post here as many would like.

epcjimi1 · July 29, 2017 12:02PM

The Forum is a better place when.......

ellipsis aren't used in a thread title post. MHO

"The Forum is a better place when Regulated posts frequently", as a title reduces the clickbait
......

Three dots are together known as ellipsis (plural: elipses) -- or "suspension point" in the printing trade.

The principal (and traditional) function is to indicate intentional omission of a word, section or a whole section of text.

ChangeInHistory · July 29, 2017 12:18PM

WoodenJefferson · July 29, 2017 1:54PM

The Forum is a better place when...knowledgeable collectors offer their opinions and are accepted more or less as an honest reply you can take to the bank.

1940coupe · July 30, 2017 5:38AM

when people dont belittle a post trying to get a LOL! when people dont take upon their self to answer question you ask of someone else !

@1940coupe said: "...when people dont take upon their self to answer question you ask of someone else !"

I usually like to read everyone's opinions when I post a question. On occasion, I read something I never thought of! When I want an answer from a specific member I PM them. On only one occasion they did not reply.

When we keep it coin related.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 30, 2017 2:03PM

Its better when there's drama and infighting. It sure beats schlock and dreck.

CaptHenway · July 30, 2017 2:03PM

When people can agree to agreeably disagree, and still respect the other person's opinion.

1Mike1 · July 30, 2017 3:27PM

.....when you're on vacation, it's 80 warm degrees out, sitting in the car at Walmart waiting for your better half to come out and you're surfing the forum, and watch somebody open up on the highway at around 120mph. Ahh life is good.

The Forum is a better place when.......
