It's funny, I am one of the people who bidded 
on those cels. Yet, I don't mind this person's 
honesty, and don't mind competition from other 
collectors. If there were no competition, and you 
alway get your cels dirt cheap, what does that 
say about the value of those cels and this hobby. 


Should a person who buys $10-50 cels with no 
competition feel bad about participating in this 
hobby?

May be I haven't been here long enough, I 
don't know what happened before with the YJ 
stuff, but can you say the same thing about Ebay 
auctions? People post "??? cel on EBay" or "Ebay 
auction ends today." Aren't those annoying too? 


Basically, people were posting on here 
saying, "Look at these pretty cels on YJ". Yann 
got tired of them and stated that those types of 
posts must stop. As for eBay, he has reprimanded 
people who posts more than twice: once to 
announce your auctions, and the second post along 
the lines of "Last day of my auction". Those are 
the rules for this forum, for those who have been 
here long enough to know.

How about pointless messages 
that takes up more than half of a page commenting 
on the new icons. Does that have anything to do 
with cel collecting?

Those dealt with the useabilitiy of the forum and 
thus had a direct effect on the readers even if 
they were not discussing cels. Ultimately, Yann 
is the only moderator of this forum and if he 
does not kill an off-topic thread then he does 
not consider it to be detrimental to the readers.
