How does one report harassment issues on this forum ?

mach19 · January 18, 2026 5:37PM

Just wondering ?

TomB · January 18, 2026 5:47PM

I guess you could attempt to inform the moderator(s) by using the @ feature with their user names. I do not know who they are at the moment, but am certain other folks will stop by to help you.

Oh, and, sorry for all those threatening private message I was sending you...it was all in good fun!

FlyingAl · January 18, 2026 5:47PM

You can flag a post at the bottom left of each post. The moderators will review the flagged post.

Morgan13 · January 18, 2026 5:47PM

@HeatherBoyd would be my guess.
I hope you can sort everything out.

Isn't there a way to block someone so you don't see their posts or any PMs they might send you?

MsMorrisine · January 18, 2026 5:57PM

you can also contact @PCGS_Moderator

Yes, you can "ignore" people. Works great.

Click on their name next to where it shows how many posts they have. That will take you to their homepage. On the right of the screen near the top there is the word message in blue and then a small figure and down arrow. Click on that and ignore is an option.

That W quarter Freddy guy is ignoring me because well I don’t know why but he posted something and I couldn’t see it until somebody else quoted him and then I saw it. 😛

Actually, I think that would indicate you are the one ignoring him. RGDS!

Really! I don’t remember doing that or how I even did it. To the best of knowledge, I’ve never ignored anybody.
Suppose I’ll need to figure that out.
But are you sure because I can’t see what he says so if he ignored me I would still be able to see what he is saying?

If he had you on “Ignore” he wouldn’t see your posts but that wouldn’t stop you from seeing his. The fact that you’re not seeing his posts means that you must have him on “Ignore”.

jmlanzaf · January 18, 2026 6:56PM

I would not bother the moderators unless it is very serious. When this forum becomes too big a nuisance, they might just shut it down.

Silly things like people responding "Awesome" to all your posts is best ignored.

I checked, and I do have one person ignored Bambino1
So maybe I was just wrong in my estimation on that particular thread.
I have been on here several years and I have a hard time remembering what I ate for lunch yesterday 😁
Thank you for the clarification.

In all the years I've been here I've only been treated rudely once.
I simply blocked the member and at last look a thread of his has over 3k new posts unread by me
Otherwise, this place has some pretty awesome folks onnoard

When someone posts "Awesome" or "Nice coin" or similar, I assume they're just trying to increase their post count.

Nope! I don't CRH for them anymore because they are too damaged from circulation but I still check my change.

Currently, I am working on completing a set of 2020-W PCGS MS67 quarters. I do own a couple sets of 2019-W PCGS MS67 quarters.

I once maxed my "Ignore" account with 5 scofflaws on "Ignore." I wanted to put a few more on "Ignore" but the system allowed me only 5 scoffs at a time to be honored with "Ignore" distinction. In a really sophisticated "Ignore" scenario the ignoring one wouldn't even see that one to ignore had even posted.Totally invisible, in other words.

Then there's the old fashioned way to ignore where you simply don't respond. I get that treatment from several of the so-called esteemed collectors.

Catbert · January 19, 2026 8:36AM

Another option besides ignore is to consider if this forum is the right place for the emotional or informational needs of the OP. There are several other sites that might satisfy the poster.

Agreed. There are 2 members
here who hijack threads constantly with their debates.

Would be nice if the Ignore feature would make their entire posts invisible! At least it hides their comments so I can get through a thread much quicker everyday.

Tell your Mommy

Cougar1978 · January 19, 2026 9:28AM

Don’t feed the trolls. You don’t know who these people are, their mental state, or in many instances where they are. When posting - Perhaps Keep it 6 -10 words or less, plain vanilla.

Beware some of them could be hackers, criminals, mentally ill. For security reasons perhaps don’t disclose your location, travel plans.

Block them, report them.

Mom passed last year so I asked the closest thing I could. The internet.
is "Tell your mommy" rude, She said,

The phrase “Tell your mommy” can come across as rude or dismissive depending on the context, tone, and audience.

👶 Neutral/innocent use: If said to a small child, it’s usually harmless and simply means “go tell your mother.”

😏 Dismissive or condescending use: If said to an adult or older child, it can sound patronizing, as if you’re belittling them by implying they’re childish or dependent.

🎭 Tone matters: Said jokingly among friends, it might be playful. Said in a sarcastic or sharp tone, it’s likely to be insulting.

So, it’s not inherently rude, but in many situations—especially when directed at someone who isn’t a child—it can feel disrespectful or mocking.

"Don't feed the troll." has always been good advice. Trolls crave attention and if you ignore them, they get frustrated and eventually go away.

BillJones · January 19, 2026 10:58AM

I checked out my ignore list. You are limited to five. One was banned years ago and another has not been on the site for over a year. I freed up those two spots and left the other two.

It depends on the troll. They all look for a reaction from the person that they are trolling. Since some trolls have more patience than others, the time will vary. Most trolls move on fairly quickly when they don't get any reaction.

I never used the ignore option. I just don't read what they post and move on. It takes a bit of will power but the older I get the better I get at it.
