While I understand your position, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. I don't think effort of producing the item being thanked for should factor into whether a "thanks" post should be allowed or not.

so we should be rude? and ungrateful? or just pad our posts with more nonsensical words so it does not get deleted? If the purpose of the thread is to do a raffle or a sale - then posts thanking the OP are befitting that thread. Sometimes instead of just saying "thank you" is a bullshit post, let's delete it - maybe look at why the person is saying thanks. Is it because they just spent 1.2 BTC buying an item - or is it because they said "thanks" because they simply read a post?

To say that both situations are the same and to delete posts as such is not logical. So much trash is allowed on the forums, scammers, ban evaders, bounties and such yet what is deleted? Common courtesy and gratitude.

Yes, we are going to have to disagree.

Is it possible to get new moderators for collectibles? Ones that understand the purpose of the collectibles area?

You're free to, as I've mentioned several times, thank the person via PM or add your "thanks" to a post that has something more substantial than just that. As for mods, global mods can moderate the entire forum. From https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0:

Q:What can <insert staff member name or rank here> do?
A: Different ranks have different access to moderation tools. A quote from Salty Spitoon explains it pretty well:

Global Moderators: can perma ban, nuke newbies, see and handle reports from all sections, and see reported PMs.
