    It couldn't have happened to a nicer more disagreeable button!

    if you want those select few banned members back then PM PCGS or mr wills and see what can be done about that issue

    Well done PCGS! This Forum is a GREAT place to learn about numismatics and exchange information with other collectors. If folks want drama or "cool points" for statistics there are PLENTY of places within social media for that. THANK YOU to PCGS for the privilege of being here and THANK YOU to those here who like to talk coins. I am grateful for BOTH.

    Man I wish I could hit disagree on this. Leave the man alone!

    Agree. I think DW was annoyed that people were dragging him into the fray. I don't think he cares what happens with the boards unless someone takes a shot (metaphorical) at him or PCGS.

    Looks like the got rid of the Spam flag count too, the only column I had a zero on. Oily racked up my disagrees, but my abuse flag count stayed low. I'm thinking some of that was self-abuse...

    No worries on getting rid of the disagree option.

    Disagree. Making pcgs spend more time on moderating this forum is a good way to lose the forum. Let the banned miscreants plead their own case.

    I wouldn't call them miscreants at all. They broke no rules.

    What I miss? Who got the boot this weekend, and why? I don't have the time to read those marathon posts, lol.

    And FWIW, I wont miss the little button on the bottom either, as I can count on one hand the amount of times I have used it.

    It's a shame the actions of a couple of posters let to the ouster of some otherwise valued members of the board. It seems civility and self-control are at a premium recently.

    I disagree. As, apparently, does PCGS. Several of them started flagging everything O2O said. O2O was equally bad, but they escalated even the most minor thing he said. And some of it was outright bullying. When O2O got into a spat with one of our own, the other people jumped in and started flagging him when they were not originally involved. O2O took it to a whole new level, but the behavior of our fallen colleagues is NOT beyond reproach.

    For the record, I wouldn't have banned them. But they were not on their best behavior.

    Pretty embarrassing that they had to remove those buttons, as useless as they were.
    We are being treated like children because that's what was deserved.

    They were weaponized by immature people when 99% of the members here did not use them.

    Some great contributors, who are now on sabbatical, took the bait hook line and sinker and made it their job and were consumed by a couple of buttons when they could have just ignored it.

    Hopefully they'll be back.

    What if someone like Oil comes back and hits LOL on every single post, but tells them, in his mind, they really mean "disagree". Will they all act like babies again?

    I vote we change the "Like" button to "Noice".

    Where is the disagree button when you need it? >:)o:):D:'(

    Something has been lost. The inevitable outliers of outrage have misused a useful function, and its usefulness is now lost.

    Disagreeing ("click") with a troll validates his/her role in a conversation.
    You have just fed a troll.

    Disagreeing with someone on a grading opinion does not.
    You have just challenged a numismatist to think.

    How about a "disappointed" button :#
    Or a "Asking about the rare mint error you found in the Home Depot parking lot doesn't define you as hopeless; I'm just going to assume it's so" button. :p

  • KkathylKkathyl Posts: 3,762 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Good, opinions or discussions should not be considered up for others to bash. I frankly think it was silly. If you really disagree or if someone is providing bad data, then just reply with your take. Good call.

    @FSF said:
    The disagree button appeared to make no sense. You're just asking for an antagonistic environment. Besides, it's completely lame for people to disagree without stating why, which would help with the quality of content on this forum. Of course that may also lead to too many tit for tat exchanges but I still believe the disagree button has no place in any forum.

    I was just thinking, there are about 5 people who would rather that button BURN IN HELL instead of rest in peace.

  • BLUEJAYWAYBLUEJAYWAY Posts: 7,941 ✭✭✭✭✭

    With the expulsion of said buttons it should logically force more banter amongst the community members,as far as explaining your disagreements on a given topic. And to not "hide" behind a generic button. Hopefully any exchanges that may become "heated" will not result in further banning's to quality members herein. Let us accentuate what is good here and what can be learned. And show to all viewers what this forum can be.

    @FSF Re your post "There's probably a lot of, 'Boy, Member X gave me a whole bunch of likes so I should probably return the favor' and all that kind of thinking. I wish they would actually do away with it all but people rarely care what I think."
    I'd give you a "like" for that post, but what the heck, I won't get a "like" back from you, so why bother?? :):)

    PS: So I gave you an "agree". :)
