For the last time, NO. They will NOT go all in one thread, that's dumb because they get lost in searches, and I will NOT repeat myself again.

just let me make one thread and post it all there. Or a sub-forum about counterfeit coins, where you could post about fake coins, ask if your coin is fake, and report fake coins on ebay! |

For the last time, NO. Counterfeits and real coins NEED to be in the same forum or they are lost in the search. When a newbie comes here and goes to the Classic Forum and searches 1885 CC Morgan, they NEED to see the counterfeits right next to the real ones or we are doing them a tremendous disservice. If they are off in some other forum they will never be alerted to all the counterfeits. That's the fourth time I've had to repeat that. I won't repeat it again. Posts just will be deleted.

Oh, that make sense bobby. I was thinking you meant straight Google searches not serches within a forum or subforum here
Can I suggest that as a rule the photo of the coin being discussed be moved to the thread before locking it then because there is no reference for future newbs. We tried this a few months ago but it faded away for some reason. With no pics they seem like a useless threads for reference.

Yes, a picture should be posted with the topic.

I just don't understand why Drew isn't reporting these counterfeits directly.
I do like to read about them and see if I can figure out the tells and have no problem with leaving the threads open for discussion even after they are reported, but then I am not a moderator and Bobby is so I defer to his judgement.

Never once did I say you had to stop.

Well, it sounds as if people are getting fed up with it and members are "decreasing" and moving to other forums. Might as well just end it before anymore conflict gets caused.

Just my opinion as a user and not a staff member...
I see the problem as there being multiple fake threads with the same or similar comments (not topic posts). Those comments keep the fake threads bumped to the top. I have no problem with the multiple threads (since combining into one thread creates a search problem) and I think locking them solves the bump problem.

Exactly what I've been trying to say for two weeks, but I must speak a different language.

So, they can still be posted as long as they are locked... Makes sense to me.

Mark my word. Drew, there is going to come a time in your life when you will remember this thread and realize that, maybe, just maybe, you should have spoken a little better and not gotten so put off by the fact that there were those that just said enough is enough. It's called a maturation process and I truly believe you'll get there. You're wanting to bring light to this subject is admirable, but your approach is not. I sincerely hope you continue your pursuit of ridding ebay of the counterfeits except that you should be going to the source of the trouble. That isn't CCF. Bobby has been so gracious in doing what he does, we're very lucky to have him on this front. What you should be doing is contacting ebay, every day, all day, always. That is where your battle is. Not here, certainly not with Bobby or anyone else on this forum. I hope you stick to your guns and stay on top of ebay with regards to this issue. It IS important. But that is not all this forum is about. Bobby has provided you with a solution, hopefully you'll adhere to it or let it die here and now. Please keep your passion moving forward in this hobby. I believe you have a lot to offer, we're all just hoping it's directed appropriately. Bobby, thanks for all you do. It is SO appreciated... |
