It is better not to response in any way rather than putting ourselves in a predicament. This type of poster should go out and try to make a positive difference in life rather than clogging a healthy community

Variety is the spice of life. With respect to that, I like cinnamon and despise ginger, as well as coconut. Love the smell of all of them, but the texture and taste of the ginger and coconut trigger my gag reflexes.... like the thought of 1933 $20 Gold Double Eagles ONLY in the possession of the government. C'est la vie, eh ?

JBK · May 15, 2018 10:58AM

Drive-by "disagree-ers" are abusing the forum, in my opinion. This is supposed to be an exchange of ideas and knowledge, not a chance to engage in a hit-and-run reaction without weighing in.

It has been mentioned before, but perhaps anyone who disagrees or flags should also make their reasoning known (although in certain cases the reasoning is obvious, such as reactions to obvious trolls or clearly outrageous or offensive language).

Of course, some of these disagrees and flags may be the result of fat fingers scrolling through the threads on a cell phone....

We cannot change people, or expect lurkers to "come out" or "sit on their fingers".
However, there are some who cannot engage others, or even assemble, without critiquing or attacking. It's the same everywhere. There are cronies, cliques, clubs, and clowns. We all gather at the same place for entertainment.
Disagreeing, agreeing, liking, loving, laughing, flagging, quoting, mimicking, or copying/pasting;
these are just features of the internet, and perhaps nuances, like bag marks on a coin. It's not a big thing, to me. I'm not that concerned with those small things or minds. Life's much too short to fret about such.

Most of us are friendly, decent and relatively gentle human beings.

Comments and agree and disagree flags should be confined to registered users. That won't make it 100 percent bullet proof but could certainly help the situation.

CoinPhysicist · May 15, 2018 11:40AM

There has really been a lot of sad and unfortunate behavior on the forum recently. I agree with @Paradisefound. Also agree with @jafo50. I would be surprised to learn that people can comment and agree and disagree and flag without being a registered user. Is that true? Should be registered users only.

That being said, something related to what the thread is about here. The CAC threads of recent day showcase a lot of negative behavior on this forum - personal attacks on others and a general feeling of toxicity and exclusion come to mind. I personally feel like there should be a strike system in place for personal attacks against other forum members and if you get too many strikes you are banned. It shouldn't matter how 'important' you are or how many 'millions' of coins you've sold or how much you can gloat. This shouldn't be the place for personal attacks. I know I personally came here to learn about coins. We aren't high school students, lets stop acting like them.

Treashunt · May 15, 2018 11:41AM

For fun, I was going to hit 'disagree' on all of the above.

Then I woke up

Anyone can log on and read the forums. Only registered members have these options: Flag, Quote, Disagree, etc. 

There are several members here with a "hair" somewhere who disagree and flag w/o leaving a reason. The flags are usually obvious and don't really need to be explained IMO. Disagrees are another thing. Those "little minds" add nothing to a thread.

@Treashunt I came so close...LOL. Then I woke up.

coinhack · May 15, 2018 11:51AM

I don't believe you can comment or hit the flag/quote/disagree/agree/like/lol buttons without being registered and logged in. For me anyway, if I come to the without logging in, I cannot see the buttons or the comment box. As soon as I log in they all appear.

Upon reflection I think I would have to agree with this observation.

Kkathyl · May 15, 2018 12:08PM

I try not to disagree unless i see another being mean to someone. If you have a different opinion, then fine, but not each post you read that you don't agree to require a hit of the button. It is better to offer a different view point.

If it makes you feel better, I have more then you

Actually They don't. I can name one long-time member here who commonly disagrees with posts w/o a reason. He has even stalked another member here disagreeing with posts that no intelligent person could disagree with. I've requested on his public board to please leave comments as it seems he might have something he could add. No dice. He has not changed although I think he stopped stalking the other member.

I really do not mind the disagrees [I wish they would explain them though] but I have one "abuse" from someone and I do not know why or who

I would def use an "ignore" button.

Personally I enjoyed the POOFED threads.

It surely beats reading all the fake news, and even the funny pages.

Disagree with me all you want. It does not bother me and might make me reconsider the merits of my comments.

Far more disagreeable to me is hiding behind an anonymous user name.

Onastone · May 15, 2018 3:29PM

Buttons. It's nice to agree. It's okay if someone disagrees, but also nice to know why. There is a LIKE button, why not a DISLIKE button? How about a I'M CONFUSED button? It makes sense to have a FLAG button....but you better not flag me. When the buttons are used right, everything is fine. All it takes is a troll to hit buttons wildly and boy is that irritating. Now an IGNORE button would really come in handy.

How about taking the buttons away with the exception of the quote button?

I try not to get drawn into unpleasant disagreements due to some people who try to get someone's goat.
And frankly I have had my share of strife in my years; you just have to roll with the punches, and not return evil for evil (or perceived as such).

I am considering to flag this message. Bringing a goat into this whole melee is totally inappropriate.

bsshog40 · May 15, 2018 4:58PM

I like to post something, then read someone else's post and go back and disagree with myself. I am also pretty sure that the FLAG is for those that should be rewarded with a country for their post. Maybe I'm just confused!!

I was so angry and disturbed by your post, I had to calm down my friends Guido and Vito who were going to take the law into their own hands when they heard about this. Also I just got off the phone with my trusty internet psych doctor who told me not to take chat board posts so seriously....

I thought you were going to call him chicken, diverting attention away from the goat. But if he takes it serious he might get crabby.
