Was wondering if a answer was givin if the coins and pins asked for the tread to be closed or not. I really doubt if they did i know Aaron doesn't promote his stuff on there but has no problem with people talking about his coins especially in a positive discussion , as that was . I think they were still on Presale at the time and it would have helped sales. He has high Morals but he is not crazy. I also think it was over the line.

I posted in the other forum in support of the original being wrongly closed . I doubt i need it but do you know any good Vacation spots.

Actually, that's not precisely true. A "forum", by definition, is an assembly for the discussion of questions of public interest.

The moment it becomes censored, it ceases to be a forum. It is now a one-sided dictation or rant. It takes two to discuss anything.

Thanks for explaining the charter member thing to me, I was wondering what that is... (Maybe paying more than the 30 Bucks a year? Laughing

)

Well, I've stated my opinion on the matter already, nothing has changed there.
I won't post in the subsequent thread, many much more well choosen word were written to RSG's support.

The closing of the second thread was requested in the opening post, no surprise it was closed immediately... That's what mods do, close threads on OPs request... Wink

.

On another note, I'm surprised, that only when there's wind in the face at the Big Blue, this forum get's more postings.
It's a bit like: Well, I'm not allowed to say what I like to say there, so I'll say it here. Geo.error had put it nicely. Just talk about a new, not your own coin here! Noone will ever mind, exept maybe the designer, who wanted to make the announcement himself... Rolling Eyes

I do like that we can go off on tangents here, which are so not coin-related, but fun!
I get a feeling of getting people to "know" much better this way!

Again, just my 2 € cents... Smile

I chose not to renew my membership in July, so my profile shows that I am an ordinary member, strangely on the forums I still show as a premium member - though I wonder for how long now this has been posted Rolling Eyes

the thing i am finding so very interesting in the discussion about the closing of the angel coin thread, is eartha is talking about me, but i am NOT friggin' allowed to answer back.

>>Coin discussion is great. Posting a thread however, that sounds like coin announcement should be done by the vendor, or the designer. Otherwise it can come back and bite you in the derriere<<

there is NOTHING in the guidelines that says this. absolutely nothing.

>>If you want to discuss the coin, please feel free to discuss it, but don't smart mouth a moderator publicly and bring your own thread downhill. And don't make it sound like you are announcing a sale that you are not involved in, see above reasons.<<

i did not make it sound as if I WAS announcing the bloody coin. sheesh, that was her prejudiced interpretation.

eartha is NOT MY PARENT. i am a grown person, and if i want to say "whatever" to her post, then that is my business. since when do mods get to act as parents of recalcitrant children. WE ARE NOT CHILDREN! adults are allowed to say what they want, within reason. forums are for discussions pro and con. not all sweetness and light.

she has told me i was NOT banned for that post, but rather for the second one. hey, i get that. but as soon as i am unbanned, i am posting about the coin, again.

>>Again, I will not discuss a warning given to another forum poster, in public or with those not involved, but the warning was not issued for that thread. You do not see what goes on behind the scenes, it's not all public, and I am not going to post in here what went on. That's private.<<

well then i will. i was not warned. she is not posting what went on behind the scenes because NOTHING went on behind the scenes. she decided the angel coin discussion was going downhill, and closed it for her own retribution reasons as so many others have said because i was a little "mouthy."

oh well.

if eartha treated me and the rest of us with the same respect she is demanding of us, this would not have happened.

i'll admit publically, because of her behaviour now and in the past, i do not have any respect for her and it is very difficult for me to pretend otherwise. but if she feels that saying "whatever" to her "handslapping" in public is out of line, then oh well again.

what-friggin'ever.

anyone want to copy and paste this to the other board, feel free. but watch out, you can join me on vacation.

and one more thing:

the thread was NOT closed until i told eartha if coins and pins didn't like my post, then they could say something, it was their call not hers since there is nothing in the guidelines that prohibits such discussions and as she called it, announcements.

the whole thing sucks. it is dividing people and making the issue bigger than it was to begin with. all she had to do was keep her nose out of it! if her opinion carries no greater weight than mine then why could she close the thread?

i wish more of us would post over here, because it is simply a place where one can breathe without having to worry about parent-mods taking care of things.

we can police ourselves.

rsg is going to bed early and play solitaire on her nintendo ds.

I think it's taking it too far and showing a lot of immaturity, personally.

Quote from Miss Jen

I’ll specifically point out to any who may have missed it that Eartha and FSM were acting with the intention of protecting more innocent people from getting raked over the coals unnecessarily.

OK someone in the past maybe got the short end of the stick because they posted about a new coin - and it didn't get delivered or materialise or something - RSG's post was about a coin from Coins & Pins - a company who as far as I know have never had any 'issues' with any coins.

And yes we can all be a little childish at times, IMO Eartha started this one - and unfortunately it has gone tit for tat, the only difference being is that Eartha has the power to pull the plug, which she did - and that only adds fuel to the fire.

I haven't seen RSG post anything mean or hurtful, more playful banter than anything and I saw it as bringing some humour to a situation that had everyone spinning in circles over and made a point - in a light and fun way, some may see that as childish but it is difficult to guage these things from the written word on a screen. Communication is a lot more than just words, and this format is one of the easiest for communication to be missinterpreted.

Just my two pennies worth.
