Doug Smith is a good guy, you'll get a pardon if you go about it reasonably. That's what I'm thinking. This guy seems to be exactly what's needed over there, so he must have rubbed some ppl the wrong way, but I've seen no examples of what the OP is accusing the site of doing, since I've been there, a whole 6 weeks.

Just to give an example of my useless contributions, these are all the 1964 quarters I've found in circulation in the past 13 months. I post stuff like this every day, almost 5 days a week. Nothing special. No Morgans, or double eagles, but i do find something, be it a 1941 nickel, a day. I'm only interested in coins i can find in circulation, so i really have nothing special to contribute. But ppl come by my thread every day and thumbs up me, or tell me the reverse on that '56 quarter is very rare... stuff like that. It's a fun site! Shouldn't be taken so seriously.

Welcome to the forum. Thank you. I see HUGE volumes of circulated coins a day. I've found over 60 silver quarters, 2 are standing liberty. I didn't know those existed till 13 months ago, when i found 1 at work, and looked it up. I almost threw it in with the foreign coins, lol. One 1901 nickel Almost 60 silver dimes, six are winged liberty. Over 25 silver war nickels. I knew very little about coins before i started this job, now I'm hooked.

He is one of the few who prompts me to get out my dictionary 🙂 Sarcasm, irony, condescension, gruff writing, obscure references, weird metaphors -- you'll find them ALL here in the NGC Forums. It can be a bit distracting at times when you are looking for a simple answer to a coin question and you get a few posts back-and-forth that are off-tangent on something you don't even understand. At least if it was about the NFL or NCAA brackets you'd be able to follow along. As for me, I keep it simple and straight....the weirdest you'll get from me is Seinfeld references.

Actually, when the Forum was in an uproar a few weeks back and you innocently asked, Who is this Nevada guy, among other things I knew you were straight as an arrow just like my wife: upright, blameless and without sin. I call her Jobecita. Her father was a pastor and a stern taskmaster. We didn't date (I later learned she never had a best friend, even in school until after we got married and I do not believe any member of our surviving famlies are aware we have never consummated the marriage. It is our first and we are both in our mid-to-late Sixties. Incidentically, CoinTalk is just that. Excomunicating someone may make you feel like God but only their accountants -- and Clairol hairdressers, know for sure. ..

Lukash Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I don't know who the moderator of CT is or whether that person is good or bad. Really, I never had a chance to learn. I was banned in maybe 15 minutes or less. Now, I've been banned only once in the distant past, and in that case the moderator had the "decency" to inform me why. But this was something new. And for what? I do not know. I made three posts in different threads, nothing to my mind being hostile or questionable. Well, it may be the discussion on washing banknotes. One particular commenter was vociferously opposed to the practice. I took an opposing view, and backed my opinion with evidence and examples (e.g., washing a note alters it no more than someone dirtying it to begin with) and also the testimony of a respected stamp dealer who engages in washing with the blessing of his customers. Perhaps someone can find that thread and, if my post still exists, see if a moderator took offense at such a stance and declared me banned for it. The other posts involved finding lost cash, and also "the smallest currency in the world". I cannot imagine either of those rather lovely posts offending anyone, even someone having a really bad day....

Seriously, my federal offense was far more felonious. A single keystroke "liking" a post of a member (with considerable clout, evidently) over there, who had given me, and millions of viewers here, formal, official notice that he was henceforth and forevermore "ignoring" me. In an eye blink, I ceased to exist. I have to admit it made me feel very important. 😉 CoinJockey73 and Hoghead515 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
