Sure I do. Like your inappropriate PMing me to stop registering comics.

 

Unsolicited.

 

I agree with Cal on this one.

 

 

 

 

Well we haven't seen the PM, in order to determine if the content was inappropriate.

 

Absent objectionable or improper content, a PM is the perfect place to let someone know they are doing something that may be objectionable to forumites.

 

Isn't the best place for that information, in a PM, as opposed to in public?

 

And I ask again, did you click the link PiP posted to the registry page in question?

 

Unless the PM is filled with expletives and beaver shots I think a PM was warranted by what I saw.

 

We are talking about this, right?

 

From my understanding, PiP complained to Cal about the number of sets that contain just one book.

 

 

http://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/SetTypeDetail.aspx?SetTypeID=282

 

Yes....62 of the 100 shown sets are CAL's...almost all of them with one book in them..the same title, issue and number.

 

 

I don't see the problem.

 

Who the hell is PiP to tell Cal not to register sets?

 

Playing devils advocate, what if I told you not to register any Avengers or X-Men books?

And if I registered ALL my IMSM's, including the 7.5's and lower, it would be more.

 

Trust me, during my spare time, I WILL register MORE of my pets.

 

CAL gathering up ALL his pets...

Playing devils advocate, what if I told you not to register any Avengers or X-Men books?

 

 

Well I don't register anything. I don't see the point.

 

However, this place has always been about respecting the "common area" for everyone's benefit.

 

We wouldn't tolerate CAL having 62 different sales threads, each one selling a different copy of the same book.

 

We wouldn't tolerate 62 individual WTB threads, each looking for the same book.

 

Why? Because it's not respectful of other folks who could do something similar but are respectful enough to make room for everyone to play in the sandbox, not just for them to make 62 identical sand castles and push everyone else out.

 

So I don't have a problem with someone trying to express that feeling via PM. I also don't have a problem with CAL ignoring that PM. Everyone can choose to act in whatever way they feel proper. The forum and the mods will let them know soon enough if they are too far outside the acceptable.

 

I certainly respect someone expressing their displeasure via PM than if they would have started a thread to bash him in CG about it, which we have seen before. At least he tried to rectify the issue privately.

No irony. Just I don't run the Registry as a top priority. I only add things once in a while. That is the nice thing about the Registry, you can do things any way you want to.

 

CAL who promises to add to the Registry when he gets the time... no PM's necessary

Nice spin, but I am not buying it.

 

It is INAPPROPRIATE ETIQUETTE if nothing else for a total stranger to PM another Forumite and TELL someone what to do re: what this Forum is supposedly about: comic books.

 

It had that "creepy" sneaky feel to it

If you charge a fee, it's not going to prevent fruitcakes...it's just going to limit the fruitcakes to ones with money.

 

Having money does not make you sane.

 

 

A fee would SEVERELY limit the number of members.

 

For those of you who like to sell books, make sure you no longer want to sell inexpensive books, because you will limit your audience.

 

I doubt there are many people who can afford the $700 and would still buy inexpensive books. I can think of a few, including myself, but I don't think that's the norm.

 

For those of you who like to BUY books and pick up bargains...remember you won't have as many people who need to sell (because they are broke) or people who are new selling treasures...probably not people who decide to sell their lower grade collections.

 

There are a lot of generous people on here, who donate to charitable causes, who would never be able to plunk down $700. People who have families, young kids, people who contribute sane positive things.

 

So, in essence, be careful what you wish for;)

 

 

 

 

I agree completely, which is why I said I personally had not thought through what a fee might do to membership.

 

A registered credit card (with no fees) would prevent a lot of the fraud going on around here though, because you would have a paper trail for an illicit activities, although I'm not sure CGC wants to be the watch dog on that particular note.

CAL who does not like being told what to do...

 

 

If the PM only had 4 words it probably wasn't as diplomatic or respectful as it should have been. Also it should have been a request and not a command.

 

However, you have a choice to either stand on ceremony that you were contacted incorrectly and not in a way you'd prefer and use that ceremony to not notice the potential issue with taking up that much real estate with ostensibly the same book.

 

OR

 

You could realize that calm, rational, respectful people on this board that did not contact you may (and do) see a problem with the manner in which all those books are registered and that it may be negatively impacting other people, who have the same right to the registry as you do, in their enjoyment of the registry.

However, this place has always been about respecting the "common area" for everyone's benefit. Agreed.

 

We wouldn't tolerate CAL having 62 different sales threads, each one selling a different copy of the same book. Agreed. That's against the selling threads rules.

 

We wouldn't tolerate 62 individual WTB threads, each looking for the same book. Agreed. That's against the buying threads rules.

 

Why? Because it's not respectful of other folks who could do something similar but are respectful enough to make room for everyone to play in the sandbox, not just for them to make 62 identical sand castles and push everyone else out. Cal obviously has a lot of IMSM books. I don't see the problem with him using the registry as a way to track them.

 

So I don't have a problem with someone trying to express that feeling via PM. I also don't have a problem with CAL ignoring that PM. Everyone can choose to act in whatever way they feel proper. The forum and the mods will let them know soon enough if they are too far outside the acceptable. Here's where I disagree. What gives some random Boardie the right to tell Cal to stop making sets? Like you said, if it is a problem, the Mods will intervene.

 

I certainly respect someone expressing their displeasure via PM than if they would have started a thread to bash him in CG about it, which we have seen before. At least he tried to rectify the issue privately.Agreed.

you lost me with your " same right to the registry". Now I guess you are going to tell me what the CGC registry's rules are???
