Oh how we have missed the mods!!! Welcome back Mr. Authority and happy new year to ya!!!
 

I just want to thank the mods for taking the action they did. I have been biting my tongue waiting for the hammer to drop and it finally did. Now maybe we can get back to showing our finds and helping with id's and answering questions.

Amen!
 

I have been away for a while and just started looking at site again. Apparently I missed something.

Can someone bring me up to speed?

You're not in Kansas anymore that's for sure!!!
 

I visit almost daily but have not posted much over the last year b/c of this. Thank for posting. Some of these threads can get pretty nasty and annoying. I have seen a lot of older members not posting any longer and thats a shame. All because of a few bad seeds.
 

I stopped posting when the cards and coins soap opera got a bit too much. Is this another drama show on forum now?

I hardly see any of the long time members since I started reading posts a week or two ago.

I don't very much care for any of the drama here, but I've seen the progression of events on other forums. Forum founders get good topic going, many new people come in, old timers get sick of newbie posts and leave/stop posting, and then the forum spirals downward. A stable member population in key. I've been on this forum since the very beginning, and I mostly post my finds and any comments that are generally helpful. Hopefully, this forum can be brought back to where it used to be

Goldencoin, you are probably the only member who still contributes on this forum that was here when i started in 2006. You've always been a good contributor. We still have many good forum members here, both new and oldtimers, who are RESPECTFUL of others posts and comments. I would hate to see those members go to lurking only or to other forums because of a few. Let's just keep it friendly and have fun here. Isn't that what it's all about? I'll be quiet now.
 

Lets just say, some things are going to be different here. After the recent issue we are no longer going to tolerate certain things here because of trying to bend over back wards to be impartial and fair.....

Our forums will be respected, it will be a place people want to come to to share finds and ideas. The make believe persona's that were being portrayed here are going away..... All members are welcome here including those currently on timeouts, but this forum will no longer be ghetto......

Finally!! I cant thank you enough.
 

I really enjoyed reading everyone's post while I was deployed but when I got back it seemed that there were a lot of issues. Someone please send me a pm and let me know what happened. Thanks and happy hunting to you all.
 

Been out of the loop myself. Anyone care to explain it to me?

On another thread, someone took a picture of someone else's rare Indian Head penny and tried to pawn it off as their find and got caught doing it. So he has been banned for life.
 

Long story short some members decided to make a bogus thread with a photo shopped picture to try scare new hunters away from silver hunting and our forum and got caught. Some jumped on the bandwagon and posted to the thread encouraging it knowing it was bogus, by doing so it encouraged members to break our rules. As mods we take it serious when a member or members try to run a scam on our forums, as moderators we feel it attacks the integrity of TreasureNet and we will not stand for that.. I did not ban the members for life....yet, but some are on a long timeout.....
