With all due respect to the previous responder (Frankie), how is it possible that a person who joined the CPM Forum over one year ago (in April 2005) still doesn't know about the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government Paper Money so that he/she can look up the value of this exceedingly common note himself/herself? Come on Frankie, please give us all a break!!

Is this what is commonly referred to as "SPAM"
[warnyel=username,1]"With all due respect"... Your post here is far from respectful, and is completely out of line. In fact, in a nice twist of irony, your posts are actually SPAM because you double-posted the exact same thing in two separate threads. Let's not repeat this outburst again, shall we? Thank you. --BWJM[/warnyel]

i dont spend my whole life on here and everytime i try to look up something ,it never gives me what i want...plus this whole canadian site thing sucks and is way to complicated for the simple minded individual who expects to get the rusults of what he types in in the search box, but instead he gets a bunch of bullshit forums and jibberish talk that has nothing to do with what he's lookin for,and collecters that dont have nothing to do all day but talk about money from centries ago that cant be used and dont mean shit...in fact, i already now what its worth, {from last year},and needed an updated {this years} price.... 8-)

One would expect that if someone is a member here for quite some time and/or has any interest in Canadian paper money that they get themselves a Charlton guide. They are inexpensive, widely available, and contain a ton of useful and interesting information.

However, one must also realize that not everyone is addicted to this stuff as some of us are. That is precisely why we have the What's it Worth? forum. If we completely shunned all of these sorts of queries, there would be no What's it Worth? forum, and we'd simply tell everyone to buy the book and look it up themselves. But that's not very conducive to enticing more people into this hobby, and it is not in-line with being an open, welcoming online community that I believe we are trying to be.

Now then... Ottawa: The above is a warning. Don't let it happen again please. Show some respect and follow the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." frankie: While your response is certainly provoked, you would have been wiser to not dignify this thread with a response. Please consider getting a Charlton guide. It is the best piece of advice you're ever going to get from these forums.

I think it is time to re-open the investigation into the heavy-handed moderation of one of this forum's top administrators.  How many complaints do there have to be before something is done about this behaviour?

I probably souldn't respond to this but... BOO HOO    Get over it.

You seem to be the only one complaining. You seem to enjoy stirring the pot.I think the moderators are doing a fine job and put many hours in for no pay.
  You can't keep everyone happy all of the time.

I disagree Rachelsprivates. BWJM has always been polite, proper, informative as well considerate towards everyone I have come into contact with. He has always been helpful answer any questions I have, from the time I was a newbie up until today when I myself am a moderator.  

Weren't you previously banned from these forums, Rachelsprivates? You speak of privacy, yet you have dropped many hints as to your identity over the last several months, including direct links to your website, and your response above simply confirms your name.

So, for evading a ban in place, we ought to simply remove you again. Any other opinions?

Racheprivates as a CPMF regular, and as a member of the Canadian Paper Money Society, I'm surprised that you take such offense to the moderation of this forum.  I cannot see anything wrong with BWJM's attempts at keeping the peace here.  What did he do to deserve being jumped all over like this?  Is "Ottawa" a buddy of yours that you feel needs defending?  Or is he an alias?  Do you think that every time a member on here is extremely sarcastic that that will foster input on this site?  My Lord HOW RIDICULOUS!!!

I read your post about an error  (which is totally unrelated to this thread BTW) and I don't really see what your beef is (or your point).  You've been insistent to point out how experienced you are (in collecting/dealing), and have contributed some interesting articles/posts, so it would be only natural to question why (as an expert) you'd be soliciting 2nd and 3d opinions on an error note's value.  IMO There was nothing untoward with the moderator's response.

This caustic retort to BWJM's post here is not really in keeping with the rules of this forum (read Rules before you post or Before you ask what its worth)  You seem to have been waiting to jump all over this excellent moderator who's only fault (if you can call it one) is his dedication to maintaining the peace on this site.  However, we all (except you apparently), know how much tireless effort BWJM puts into this fine site, so if he comes across as a bit stern, than its very easy to overlook.  

The accusation

to re-open the investigation into the heavy-handed moderation

as well as the implication that there's something seriously amiss:

How many complaints do there have to be before something is done about this behaviour?

IS WAY OVER-THE-TOP and merits an apology on your part!

 Everyone's words can be interpreted differently. Maybe some care should be given to how people phrase their comments so no feelings are hurt.


just my opinion, Scott
