A longstanding instigator who regularly abused the disagree button drew them into a contentious thread and all of them got banned.

I've always have wondered the same. Maybe a brief explanation
and offending post (s).

It was a rash decision hastily made over a childish conflict.

There was an antagonist. And a few unfortunate souls who took the bait.

PM heatherboyd and let her know you want our veterans back.

I hope so too. I would like to know when.

Our banned brethren were given no notice, no warning, no explanation, no timeframe for (or promise of) their return. They were just zapped. Gone. "We don't want you...you don't matter".

There's a place for bamming. A reason most of us get. This was just shameful.

We could do a forum hunger strike in protest but most of you guys couldn't make it past the midnight snack.

A posting strike might be an idea.

Your favorite posters and contributors if they stopped posting for a period of time you would miss. For me, the wheelchair guy. Love his take on coins and personalities. I don't always agree with him yet he gives me pause and has me thinking more times than not.

Wheelchair Guy? That had me laughing!!! Of course we miss @Insider2, but he'll be back. Remember, he's the one who originally started this query. Everyone here makes the forum what it is with daily comments and disputes and photos...

Back to "wheelchair guy"......do we all have nicknames? Who can make a list of our crazy nicknames that most of us would recognize? Who would I be, Worn Buffalo? Thanks for making me smile Angel Cow~

I am not sure which forum you were looking at with the above comment. These banned members bullied the poster. Every time he posted they flagged him, they started a thread dedicated to publicly shaming him, and then openly encouraged the forum to flag him in the same thread.

Just because someone has a counterpoint, it does not mean they are wrong and should be banned or flagged. As far as flagging them back, good for him, they had it coming to them. In fact, every banned member started the flagging and disagreeing first, why do you think they are all banned. Mr. Oil should be the first one allowed back and hopefully the forum will stop with the bullying behavior of any member who does not follow their personal rules instead of the forum rules.

As far as I am concerned, the members tagged above are still bullying the poster who is now banned.

Oil worked hard to earn that reaction. He would hand out disagrees for no discernable reason, and then when the other poster returned the favor Oil would retaliate by leaving literally one thousand disagrees.

But in any case zippyzip, happy to have your alternate take on this matter. You've been a member for two years and today was your first post...... You must have felt strongly about it.

Paradisefound · October 21, 2018 10:57AM

Oil was a bully. There was only one way to handle him and that was to fight back and let him know you would no longer take his BS.

So let me get this straight. No matter how long someone has been a member here, he or she is an alternate of oilolay if they agree with that poster? Unreal. You all can't help yourselves. You are now bullying me because I happen to believe all the banned members were wrong. I guess I am not alone since the man who runs this company is the one who banned them. I enjoyed the comments from the 4 banned rule breakers. I also enjoyed Oil comments.

There are couple glad not here. Won’t name.

Beyond that probly would not notice. I tend to go for quality of posts, topics of interest vs a particular poster.

It is amazing how quickly one comes to know and enjoy the unique contributions of our various members.

I would love someday to be so knowledgable as to be potentially missed. And in the meantime I see all of you as my professors and fellow students -and friends.

ilikemonsters · October 23, 2018 7:53AM

I would certainly miss myself. Gee, it breaks my heart even thinking about it.

I actually got a little tongue lashing via PM from SM years ago for nothing even close that has gone on here recently.
It got out of control and I for one did not like it one bit!

REALGATOR · October 27, 2018 5:58PM

@tradedollarnut provides great insight into the 7 figure market. While I don't play in that sandbox, I really appreciate his take on the play-by-play.
And yes "The Wheelchair guy" @Insider2 dispenses what seems to be decades of proven knowledge here for all of our benefit if you are willing to receive it. The true spirit of this forum, IMO.

Raybo · October 27, 2018 7:43PM

Okee dokee, I have two more.
I think mrhalfdime is still present on these forums but I still miss his posts because MHD knows coins and he just doesn't post enough...AND quarternut has been absent since forever?

Who here, if went missing, you would miss?
