Why does the administration not remove posts that have absolutely nothing to do with coins?

WAYNEAS · February 21, 2021 6:50PM

What happens when you flag a post?

P0CKETCHANGE · February 21, 2021 6:51PM

It’ll be poofed tomorrow.

Let’s see how long this one will last

The post I think you’re talking about. The forum is less watched on the weekend and people get away with OT threads until the mods close them on Monday. That’s what I’ve noticed, anyway.

Hydrant · February 21, 2021 6:54PM

It happens on weekends or late at night. The moderators clean it up in the morning. I assume during their working hours. Hey, everybody needs a break. Who works 24/7/365?.........Except me.

MsMorrisine · February 21, 2021 6:55PM

you mean they don't visit here for fun, too?

WAYNEAS · February 21, 2021 7:07PM

a warning, a suspension and then a total ban
there are too many posts here that seem to be supported by forum members that have or are disguised as coin threads,
trolls work everywhere including here. Shame on those that respond to the op.

WAYNEAS · February 21, 2021 7:08PM

What does the flag icon mean when I click it?

Crypto · February 21, 2021 7:09PM

It’s Sunday give it until business hours

MsMorrisine · February 21, 2021 7:09PM

it means someone may or may not take action

for the covid-19 at coin shows redux part 2 again thread, it'll be dealt with eventually.

You can use it to report a post to the moderators.

But, honestly, what's the point?

well if the Admins penalize posters of off threads, we will see less of them. So I hope

We also sometimes end up seeing fewer posters.

And color me paranoid, but if we make the forum a big enough PITA, they might shut it down or restrict it.

All the moderators have full-time real jobs at PCGS. They do not want to be in the business of disciplining a bunch of unruly children. They also don't need to spend all their time looking at flagged posts.

DNADave · February 21, 2021 7:44PM

OT posts are easy enough to ignore. I hardly even noticed this one. Just don’t let it get to you.

signal to noise ratio

we have to make running a free forum worth it to them.

attracting the new comers to coins, forums, etc. pays in pita reduction.

skier07 · February 21, 2021 7:52PM

Although off topic Covid has affected numismatics. The business model is now very different; no shows, auctions are on fire, and collectors are buying mostly online so discussing Covid respectfully seems appropriate to me.

WAYNEAS · February 21, 2021 7:52PM

Okay then

Yeah but... alot of that back and forth has political or bias that belongs on FB and Twitter.

I can start some inane threads but at least it is coin related.

Mgarmy · February 21, 2021 7:58PM

There is a pretty straight line between herd immunity and the return of the large coin shows.

True.

MsMorrisine · February 21, 2021 8:07PM

wow

covid has now infected this non-coin thread to make it even more non-coin.

I was going to say that at least the covid-coinshow part 2 redux again thread was contained to that one thread....
(I really am surprised it hasn't spilled over)

I doubt it......I sincerely doubt it. They know we're all nuts here. Why would they torture themselves by reading this nonsense if they weren't getting paid to do it?

This is an example of the more highly contagious strain. It infects threads willy-nilly.

I sure do miss the old 'Open Forum'... That was the place anything (within reason) could be discussed....and left the coin forum for coins.... Sure was a lot of fun...Cheers, RickO
