    Did he say why? I thought he seemed like a good enough guy.

    I have had an insider tell me that the first grader uses a dart board. The second grader uses a spinning wheel called the wheel of destiny.

    NOW that is inflammatory!

    It's hard to believe that a post of that nature is enough to get one booted?

    He could have been just messin around?

    Well - I wish NJ the best.

    Merry Christmas NJ

    Why was he booted? The dude was as level headed as they come around here. That is unfortunate.

    Hey Matt, can you pm me his e-mail addy?

    If he was banned for that comment, then I've said worse on the boards and never had as much as a slap on the hand. I can't say that I agree that creased cards are slabbed as 10's, but I've seen many that don't look as good as 8's and 9's that are sitting in my collection. With that being said, I don't want to turn this thread into a PSA grader/alien abduction/Jimmy Hoffa/JFK assination conspiracy rant...just my two cents (and with the devaluation of the dollar over that past couple of years, my two cents are worth less and less....)

    Regards,

    Just because someone takes exception isn't a reason to ban.... My understanding is that you can be banned for saying untrue, inflamatory comments that are an attack on board members/PSA employees or PSA itself. What was said was hardly inflamatory and was only an observation.

    This is a privately owned board and the company can do whatever they want. It does seem senseless as much worse has been said about the company and about other members that was left unpunished. But hey, when you’re on a board owned by someone or some company, you are at their mercy on the privilege to be a member there.

    The December 8 PCGS post seems to have had a fairly positive
    effect in limiting the bashing of the host corporation. (You can
    read that post by using the search phrase "rules" on the
    PCGS board.)

    CLCT shareholders have a financial interest in keeping
    unwarranted product bashing to a minimum. As Zef
    implied, when you go to another person's house to
    play, you are well advised not to spit on the floor.

    Warnings are good and usually work, but those are
    decisions that have to be made by the capitalists who
    own - and pay for - the boards. Folks who want a
    different set of policies can very easily open their own
    boards. TIME Magazine's person of the year is US.

    I don't know that this is always the case, as I've had creased and stained cards awarded 10s, and many seemingly perfect cards given the ever-popular NM-MT 8 designation (modern, of course).

    So whether or not PSA states that two, three, or twenty graders inspect your gems, I believe - at times - it's highly unlikely.


    Greg

    This is what he said - I can see them viewing this as defamatory.

    The boards were warned about making unsubstantiated or spurious disparaging remarks againt CU.

    I'm affraid remarks made in the past as opposed to those today or in the future will be held to a different standard of tolerance.

    Moreover, as was said, we're guests here and the 1st amendment does not apply.

    I - personally - am of the belief that NJ was just exaggerating - perhaps in making a point.

    I hope he's granted a second chance.

    Merry Christmas

    NJMH is not even close to guys like RichG or Axtell, who deserved the boot. If that thread were Joe O posted is why he got the boot, then I will loose a little faith in the management and or senior management at PSA.

    WOW!

    I never knew RichG got the boot. I thought he self-exiled.
    He is on EBAY's PowerSeller board from time to time. Last time
    I looked, he was at about 2000 FB and 100%. (The PS board
    is mostly fairly-civil and I never noticed RG getting into "discussions"
    like he did here.)

    Not meaning to argue, and I really have no clue about anything, but...

    A paid member is hardly a guest, and if it wasn't for paid members and PSA supporters who frequent this BB, there would be no PSA.

    We're the reason for this BB, without us this whole place is just ones and zeros, how about a little respect.

    And if we can't complain, things will always be the same, and that's good but it could be better.

    The board is free and one does not have to be a member to post here. While in the past there has been more leniency in what has been posted, the times have changed, and unfortunately not because of our doing. The guys over at the PCGS board have been creating a huge stir in the past couple months. I think much of their dismay started in the closing of the Open Forum, but nonetheless, many have voiced slanderous remarks against PCGS and Collectors Universe in general(which PSA is a part of).

    The business was around long before this board, and I have a feeling it will be around long after this board closes. While I agree that it is good for their business, it is not MY business. They can do with it and us as they choose and we can either abide, leave or be forced to leave. I like it here and I hope that they don't close the doors anytime soon, but if they do it's their prerogative.

    But honestly, if you have a gripe call into customer service and wage your complaint. As a customer, your complaint will surely be taken more seriously than an anonymous person on a message board.

    Just my $.02. Hope you all had a nice Christmas.

    NC opined:

    "A paid member is hardly a guest, and if it wasn't for paid members and
    PSA supporters who frequent this BB, there would be no PSA."

    "And if we can't complain, things will always be the same....."

    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    If CU had to rely on the sundry board populations to feed the CLCT
    critter, there would be no CLCT. If there was no PSA board, I would
    not learn as much as I do, but I would still buy the PSA membership
    because I need/want it. The boards are nice, but I am pretty sure
    that CLCT does not define them as a profit-center.

    To perfect their theory of board decorum, CU might just strike the
    BBs as a "membership benefit." Even without that deletion, CU
    still has the absolute right to decide what gets put on the boards
    and who gets to put it there.

    Members can complain ALL DAY to PSA. They just cannot over-complain
    on the CU boards. PSA answers the phone when people call to complain
    about whatever they want to complain about. There is a BIG difference
    between a customer complaint made through the established protocol,
    and what PSA may perceive as gratuitous-bashing based solely on a
    member's misinterpretation of circumstances.

    NJMH is a good contributor, and I hope things work out well. Raising
    heck about it will not make things work out well.

    Thanks guys, I'm kinda narrow minded and never really see the greater scheme. And I might be feeling a little sentimental because of the holidays and it's my first Christmas without my family, and I guess everyone on this BB is like family to me because of the kindness and even gifts that I've recieved. And I just hate to see anyone leave. Especially if they don't want to.


    Happy holidays everyone image

    rick being a paying member of psa and part of cu, i would hope carol or somebody contacted him personally to let him know why he was booted, versus coldy shutting down his account w/ no rationale.

    if would also hope his banning was a cumulative process, not solely based on 1 thread that really, honestly didn't seem that offensive. i am sure he had no intention of getting booted by posting about psa 10 quality cards.

    whatever, but i certainly hope there is/are/were communications to him from whoever pulled the plug letting him know what he did and why it was wrong.

    Rich G was booted. When you try to log in as him with any made up password, it says:

    Login Denied, you are not authorized to login to the forums.




    If he were not booted, by entering his username and wrong password, it would say:

    Your login credentials were invalid.
