@CGC Mike honestly curious here. Is there a reason for blocking the search engines from indexing the boards? There could be a perfectly valid reason for this from a business perspective but I don't understand why that would be desired. Maybe an oversight?
It's most likely an oversight. I see Dena has been flagged to this thread. So, she is probably aware of it. If it still bothers in a week, I will try to push to get this fixed.

OK. I know you're busy so I wasn't sure if I should tag you in it or if someone is actively checking this thread. Thanks!
I posted a link to this thread in a real good spot yesterday. I got a reply that it will be checked out today. I expect repairs are being planned, and hopefully executed soon.

Since you’ve blocked google, can you please fix the in-house search function?
Would be lovely if it were possible to find info posted on this site.
Thanks in advance
I will add that to the "to do" list. It will take some time.

I've noticed another change in the software.
I'm getting email notifications come through in batches and patches over the last day or two. No notifications for a while and then a bunch just ram through at once - ding, ding, ding, ding.
Not sure if this is intended or not.
This thread was supposed to be reviewed today by the people who fix problems here. That is all I know.

Someone is supposed to be checking out this thread tomorrow.

I have sent a link for this thread to the people that are working on fixing the board issues.
Make sure @thehumantorch gets credit for breaking the story!
Dang. I think I gave you credit. Let me try to fix it.

In the last 4 days, there have been 0 warnings issued, outside of posting in threads.

Hello
Yes. Cards are essentially just another tier in CGC. So the credit can be applied to cards or comics or both if it's not used up with the first sub.

I've notified moderation. I'm not sure what else to do as I am following the rules but some individuals are too focused on me the OP and are intent on derailing my thread.
Please stop telling people how to post. That is the problem. Maybe take a break for a while. There has been a problem in 3 threads this week and it is only Tuesday.

Yes, CGC can grade these cards.

As for the template, I think you are right to let the practice stand, as there is no reason out of the gate to think it will necessarily conflict with your planned approach. The template does not promise moderator action (as it can't by definition) it merely gives a friendly "heads up" that moderation "can" remove posts...not will but can etc...My opinion is that the template advisory would only be a problem if by its contents it conflicted with or undermined your approach to Moderation. Experience may of course show that it does create problems, but even then I would think that some variation or amended version would still benefit Moderation, as it is part of the positive "self-regulating" features of the marketplace.
I agree with this. I don't see any harm coming from the template being posted in FS threads.
On 10/23/2021 at 10:24 AM, crassus said:Of the rule violations that are serious enough to suggest immediate removal, and in addition to the absence of "ask prices" on items (soliciting only offers etc) I would also consider for discussion violations of the "Boards exclusive" rule, where the seller has the same item(s) up on one or more other sites. In the 24hrs given to the seller, that could be long enough to create trouble, and just my from personal observation, that is another rule that sometimes meets stubborn resistance...."o gee I had no idea, I'll get that taken care of, thanks bud" etc...and then a week later the books are still up elsewhere....
You make a good point. Maybe I will take it on a case by case basis. Perhaps, give a much shorter time period to fix the problems, or immediate removal if I feel things might get out of hand. Usually, the missing ask prices come from someone that is new to the marketplace. As far as books listed elsewhere, I see this happening from new people, and veteran board members. Maybe give a little time for people that haven't violated this rule in the past, and immediate removal for those that continue to abuse the rule.
My goal is to drastically reduce removal of FS threads but, I understand there will be cases where removal is necessary. I think in time, I will have a better feel for what is the right thing to do. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, Max!

So, there is a current discussion about changes in the way for sale threads will be moderated in the future. Let me attempt to copy the posts on the discussion so far. Your input is appreciated.
On 10/21/2021 at 9:22 PM, CGC Mike said:One of the changes that has been made regarding for sale threads is, threads will no longer be pulled and a waning issued for missing rules. Instead, a post will be made in the thread asking the OP to comply with the violation. I will give them 24 hours to make the changes before removing the thread. This has already been tested about a dozen times and the rate of success has exceeded my expectations.
On 10/22/2021 at 1:32 PM, CGC Mike said:I just wanted to add to this. A few exceptions may come into play.
If the entire thread has items not allowed, it will be removed.
If there is nudity in the first post, I would have to remove the whole thread.
If someone new shows up and just posts a link to is Instagram account, the whole thread will be removed.
There may be other exceptions as well but, in most all cases, a post will be made in the thread, and the OP will be given time to comply with the rules.
On 10/22/2021 at 6:00 PM, crassus said:My question is whether you intend to continue the standardized "acceptable to post" template which members use to notify sellers when something was missing in their rules?
I also recommend starting a discussion in the sales area ("General Discussion"?) as there may indeed be other violations that should get immediate action, eg. sellers posting without ask prices and soliciting offers....there may be others worth debating....
On 10/22/2021 at 9:03 PM, CGC Mike said:That is a good question, and one I think should be debated. If the thread is reported, I would make a post, and the seller would be given 24 hours to make the appropriate changes. If the template is posted, I may not know there is a problem in the thread. If the seller doesn't fix any problems, the thread will remain open longer while violating the rules. Most likely, it would be a new person who refuses to fix things. This happened about a month ago. The thread turned into a fiasco. I thought an admin was going to give 6 or more board members unneeded warnings, even though they made amends to the OP later on in the thread. Until something is decided by the community and I, it is ok to post the template.

Hello,
It depends on which tier you use to submit your cards. Here is a link that shows the turn around times for each tier.
