EDITED

I've come to the conclusion that maybe we need a moratorium on the last two points of Usage on the message board.

Examples of proper use include:

* announcing dates of upcoming casino collectible shows
* announcing dates of chapter meetings
* seeking advice on casino collectible values
* seeking information about club and chapter members
* commenting on hobby related media stories
* posting proposals to trade with other collectors
* commenting on and seeking information about club related matters
* stating positions on club and chapter policy
* Silver Strikes for Trade or Sale
* Silver Strikes for Auction

I believe by doing so for a temporary period of time might just help to clean up the current on going situation. I think that we might just allow "TRADE ONLY" offers only and NO For Sale or Auction promotions for a while to remove the current situation which I feel is becoming a MAJOR problem on the board.

People can post notices of Silver Strike token(s) they "WANT" and can include their e-mail address to receive e-mail responses. The trades/deals can all be preformed off the board and the original poster can make a post noting that the token(s) had been obtained.

I hate to see a moderated board again but I think it's about time we did something. As you may have read Randy Moritmer has "REMOVED" the link to
The Strike Point, from his website, due to the current situation on the board.

Take care,
