So I ask about how the East Coast and submissions heading to NGC are being affected by the Hurricane, sounds innocent enough but..........................bam, thread deleted.
So I ask some questions about Deller's Darkener, sound innocent enough but............................bam, thread deleted.
So tell me, is there someone I should check with, a PCGS Coin Forum Clearing House Moderator I should check with to get an OK for a thread??? Those two were sort of innocuous, why the deletions??

You're lucky everything you ever posted hasn't disappeared.
why is that??
One of my comments tonight got removed and sent to a Mod too... maybe something else going on?
I was wondering the same thing about my MS70 thread. Only thing I could think of in your case
NGC question is about the competition
Dellers darkener (like my MS70) experiment could shine a bad light in coins that are sitting in holders straight graded.
Or maybe I am the thread killer. I posted on your NGC thread, I posted a thread that got poofed. Now that I posted here this one will likely be in the scrap bucket too sorry.

It's one of the levels, that's all. Nothing you've said has ever offended me.
I guess they don't want their forum being used as a tutorial on how to doctor coins which Deller's Darkener certainly is.

I wondered where that one went. Seemed pretty tame to me.
Just friendly advice: if you really want to know, PM the moderators. Calling them out publicly here is only likely to aggravate them. We have enough people in Time-Out at the moment.

I immediately thought about sex education, where would you rather have your children learn, at home or on the street?? maybe not a good comparison, but it's what came into my head right away.
They might’ve totally missed your message and subsequent text and just been unable to focus on anything other than the flag.
They used Deller's Disappearer.
They used Deller's Disappearer or Nic-a-Thread...,
Oh, so that's what happened? I just checked back to see if my question had been answered. Ok...moving on.
I thought the MS70 thread could have been quite educational as not everyone buys slabbed copper.
Similar experience and I have heard others being ghosted here.
It is very attractive
Well problem for me is after I post anything my Dementia takes over and with my memory loss, I forget what I posted. So I have No reason to check my past threads.
I went looking for the "Deller's Thread" too. Thought it must have gone downhill fast, and I missed it.
Maybe the lesson is: They don't like threads about other services or products...either positive, negative, or educational??
I think every new collector should clean some junk coins and then use that darkener product or something similar so they can identify the appearance of a darkened coin. Not all early dark (black) copper has been fooled with.
Successful BST deals with mustangt and jesbroken. Now EVERYTHING is for sale.
I hate to make light of the situation, but the topic of this thread made me think of this meme:
You hit the nail on the head.
Back about 12 years ago a type of service being downed and argued about led to a lawsuit against several people here, several users were banned and our host suffered much grief. I will not go into specific details as it is over, but lessons were learned by many.

It couldn't have been about fishing or pets or random pictures. Those are immune.
No, but there were a lot of popcorn emogee's in those threads, and a lot of Koolaid also....

Have you tried starting a cac thread? They are very popular.
Lol. Several of those were nuked last week also
to the point of "Contact Customer Service" I will say this: I have done so in similar situations and they do not reply back.
More like 15 years ago.
Yep; 2004 was a rough year on both sides of the street.
A PM to the mod might be a better choice.
I have seen a few disappear recently... not sure why... It would help if there were some explanation. I can understand if a thread violates the published rules, or goes downhill with keyboard rhetoric. Maybe I missed that part of some nuked threads... Another was nuked just a while ago... do not know what it was...Cheers, RickO
@Keets...You didn't accidentally put Heather on ignore?

If you don't talk about it or read about it, it doesn't exist.

please read a few replies above your post.
This!!!!!! The flag is very offensive, I can not believe it is allowed here as it is Sooo political.
At least we got rid of that stupid racist round flag
I want to puke when I see it, not the flag, but the current political meaning of that flag
A simple and much appreciated courtesy to members would be for a Moderator to send a PM to the "offending" poster informing of the " violation" and suggesting not to be a repeat offender.
often sentences are interpreted different that what is really meant, especially when the posters base language is not English. Grammatical structures can play havoc and end in results not intended when read with a highly educated "fast thinking one tracked " mind.
They can do what they want to 😊
IMO, it was a shame those two threads were deleted as after I posted some opinions, I wished to read what others had to say about the products and their use. One thing mentioned in the deleted threads is the fact that both these products alter the coin's surface. Thankfully, we all have access to other venues to discuss topics that apparently should not be discussed on CU for whatever the reason. Members post as a privilege and some of us are standing on melting ice!
@keets said: "To the point of "Contact Customer Service" I will say this: I have done so in similar situations and they do not reply back."
I have been very fortunate to send and receive PM's from Mods on the forums I post on. In most cases they have replied. One forum, including CU, has given warnings or explanations in PM's to me or to everyone posting in a discussion. In fact, a moderator on another form has helped me to become much more charitable when replying to other members so he would not be forced to ban me.
We need to realize that there are thousands of posters on CU. In an ideal world, there would be no need for moderators. Watching over opinionated, "nut-jobs" such as myself is a thankless job that must be controlled in some way. I love the threads that are actually meaningful but those are often the ones that end up closed.
In the end, we are just visitors for a short time here, and I'll say it is less stressful and BEST when you never have ANY CONTACT at all with the Mods.
No real preference here as to where the children learn about sex education. From the telltale evidence left behind, it looks as if my boys received much of their sex education at home. When the lovely Mrs. Hydrant and I were away on business trips, etc. As for myself, it was mostly on the streets. Well to be more precise, behind the barn. Not too many streets around here. Either way, both options seem viable. A balanced combination of both seems to have worked out best for the Hydrants. And.....four sons and twelve grandchildren later.....I'm proud to say that everyone around here put their "education" to good practical use. Regardless of where they got their degree. It doesn't matter so much where you go to school as much as what you learn there a what you do with the knowledge gained. Just my opinion.
They should create a section on the forum where the rowdy members can hang out. They can call it "Welcome to hell". They can hire Mike Tyson to be the moderator for it.
They sometimes do issue warnings. When they do, they send just such an email.
On the other hand, some threads are just shut down because the whole thread is problematic or the discussion is way OT. In those cases, no one in particular is "warned".
On some threads that were locked rather than deleted, heather did post a last post on the thread explaining why she was locking it.
Some Americans NEVER studied history. Political , EOC ?

Dude, I know the history of the flag and love the motto. I also love snakes.
BUT, that flag and the round flag were co-opted by radical groups to oppose society so they have very bad connotations today.
When I see either flag, I think, oh one of those types. Not really good to have people think negatively of you because of a flag.
Now that the thread has started to go political....I expect it to be deleted, making Keets even more frustrated.
Heather could change his flag to this...

Oh, an off-topic (football) thread about a shoe company with a marketing hook that backfired (thank G-d, and I'm a lib).
Bitichin' when I call up a pal and told him I just agreed with Ted Cruz since he eviscerated Kaep for intellectual sloppiness, Nevertheless, I flagged you for rabble-rousing and inciting to riot.

The students in grades below the advanced college grade do not get to choose what they are taught! I'll bet 95% of the posters here (ME INCLUDED) have a very slim knowledge about the history of our country or the world. What most have, if any, is what we were told.
I've already reported that while "holed -up" in an "upscale" FL High School during a hurricane, I examined an inch and a quarter thick history book. The entire section on our founding fathers, first five Presidents, ideals of the USA, etc was covered in just 7 pages if at all, and the most important things (which shall remain unmentionable here) were left out completely!
Thank goodness the world of numismatics is so connected to history. I saw my first roman coins in a Latin class. Unfortunately, at the time, my interest was strictly in the US.
As for the flag controversy, Get over it. We live in a free country. Better they carry it than burn it.
I want to be one of the last to comment on this thread before it goes away. Now that is moving to the dark side.
Obviously, Keets is Cursed.
In ninth grade as part of a NASA educational outreach program, the teacher past around a sample of lunar dust encapsulated in lucite. Most of the kids took a quick look and handed to the next person. I was riveted to this small Apollo sample.
About all i remember from the last 4 years of school.
Sorry for derailing an important thread.
when is this thread going to disappear as well?
