     What was your user name on CT? 

    I don't remember, but probably something similar or identical to the one here.

    Call me a sceptic but I would bet the family ranch that there is more to that ban then simply asking a question, particularly with those visceral comments. 

    Actually someone in this thread called the moderator there an 'Emperor' which made me think of Claudius wondering why his wife's boyfriend was disrespectful to him. Thought it was witty and got a chuckle out of writing it. Sorry it triggered you, just some numismatic geeky humor ;)

    It's possible their software or a Mod inadvertently assumed you were someone trying to evade a ban.  Nothing in your post indicates anything close to a TOS violation.

    If you write to the webmaster or other email address that the site has, I am sure you would be reinstated if you did nothing wrong.(thumbsu

    I tried contacting multiple times. There was never a response, so I gave up. I tried opening a fake account, but their application is broken. So i just gave up. Thanks for the suggestion :)

    Coin Talk also banned me for no reason. I bought my first ancient coin at an auction last April. It had a small black spot, but it looked great otherwise. I wanted to know how to remove the spot and restore the coin. I couldn't find the answer online, so I joined Coin Talk to ask. I was polite and said I was new. Someone replied that the spot made the coin more genuine because it showed its age. I thanked them politely, but the next time I logged in, I was banned.

    If I violated some rule by asking this as a new collector, then screw them. They should be more understanding of people who are not old collectors who complain about paying more than $80 for a mint coin like they did in the 60s.

    As for the Coin Talk owner/moderator, he will get what he deserves. I hope he gets banned from a forum when he asks a question he doesn't know: like why his wife's boyfriend disrespects him. Stay away from Coin Talk.
