Very nice Constantius I Chlorus follis. Strange. I was reading in another post that Jerry is no longer banned. Apparently, this is untrue. Here is mine that is very similar but lower grade, also from the Lugdunum mint. Also a left facing bust portrait.  Edited by Gil-galad

Hey Mod's, we miss Steve please let him come back.. Absolutely not. He has ZERO respect for authority. None. He completely ignores us. We gave him five chances, and were systematically ignored each and every time. Future mentions of this will result in posts posts being immediately removed. |

What happened with steve?Why he was banned Ahh, I think Admin's post above yours was pretty clear. We've had to clean up/change/delete his posts at a minimum of five times for blatant rules violations. All of these instances resulted in a friendly warning to "change" or he would no longer be allowed here. After the FIFTH time, it was the end. End of story, end of discussion. |

At risk of being censured, I feel I must comment on this. tights24 I appreciate your friendly explanation, and while I may have a problem with it, I can understand the decisions as you have laid them out. What I have a problem with is the dictatorial diatribe which says even any discussion of this matter is subject to censure. While steve6x may deserve being booted in the eyes of "Admin", it doesn't mean everyone has to agree, or that any discussion should be treated as against the rules of the site. I have truly enjoyed CCF and the Ancient's forum in particular. Everyone who posts here feels like lifelong friends. When one of our fellow members gets booted off the site, it is only natural curiosity to want to know why. Perhaps there is a good reason which tights24 was kind enough to explain. But the autocratic and crude response of Admin makes me feel like CCF may not be for me in the future. I will have to weigh the overall good of this site as compared to this absolute control of any discussion, including discussion that don't break any rules. |

This forum is an autocratic dictatorship, and is not a democracy. If someone doesn't follow the rules then they get warned/banned it says it in the rules. There is no vote, at least from the populous, and there probably shouldn't be. It's some dude's privet site and if he wants to boot someone or censor something I am sure he can, weather or not you or I or anyone else likes it. The next smack down...failed democracies....or tyrants hahahah. Jokes Jokes...

I understand this about the site, and I agree they should have the power to ban someone for breaking the rules. But to ban a discussion of that matter is something all together different in my mind.

Not to trying to add fuel to the fire but the thing is that discussions on moderator actions are banned from discussion on most forums because they often get out of hand. Ending up in arguments, hard feelings and even trolls jumping into it just to cause trouble. I can see why they do it but it is often unfair, but needs to be done a lot of times.

I suppose I can see the sense in that. I'm just too old fashioned I guess. I believe in an open honest discussion. How else should we all be aware of what is expected or what is banned other than the printed rules which, by their very nature, are specifically vague. It would seem to me that all members need to be made aware of whatever another member does to be censured/banned, or we are doomed to repeat it.
Thanks Gil, Anoob and tights24 for your explanations.
