Is there a reason that this troll account still exists?
And we really need the feature preventing users to put unverified items in their collection to get rid stuff like THIS

They have no impact on the rarity index. Only the number of users owning the coin (either for their own collection or for swap) impacts the rarity index.
Verweis : "JosipInTheHouseTonight"They shouldn't because they don't affect anybody or anything. even the troll is smart enough to know that he doesn't affect any stats
Apparently the troll is not as smart as he thinks he is because he does effect some of our statistics:

there is also no numista user with 400k coins :D

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
I think you all are resurrecting a ghost. This member joined 9-Jul-2020 and made his last post on 31-Jul-2020 and his collection and presence has been dormant since, until yesterday.
I don't disagree. The way to do it is to go to his profile page, click the "Report a problem with..." icon then make a case how he has violated the ToU and therefor his account should be terminated. Debating it in the Numismatic question does nothing (at least for the last 1.5 years) other than stroke his ego (if he's still reading the forums).
Hello,
Could you please clarify why this account should be terminated? Is it really an issue if this user enters obviously incorrect quantities in their collection?
If I may answer - he is making a mockery of the site.
What possible intention is it to show many thousands of a coin of
which there was only one minted? See example earlier.
How can you question this - clearly he is someone who should not be here.
Why are you even asking - what do YOU think is a reason to keep the account and
the ridiculous quantities on here?
Delete the account so the quantities can go back to normal.
We even have people making statistics based on the data in numista.... they are completely false when somebody can just enter anything so ridiculous in the collection year lines. If he had done some 2000 coins with 50 of each maybe we would never have noticed? How about building in some audit trails?
For the doubles it's not important if somebody says he has 200, 2000 20000 or more of a given year of a given coin, but for the collections certainly.

I'm usually not in favour of deleting accounts. This account does not infringe any article in the Terms of Use as far as I know, and I genuinely don't know which negative impact this account may have.
People use the website in different ways, and we should not necessarily assume this user has bad intentions.
If there is a real issue, I would like to understand the issue, so that I can take corrective action, not only for this user but in general.
From the messages above, I understand the only potential negative impact is statistics. This is not a real issue in my opinion. Numista never uses the quantities entered by the users for statistics (except on the collection dashboard of the owner themselves). And I would advise everyone against using quantities in user's collections, since there is no way anyone can control them. Additionally, depending on the privacy settings chosen by the users, we usually know only the total number of coins in the whole collection, which doesn't bring much valuable information.
I'm more concerned about users who enter coins in their collection although they don't own them, as this has an impact on statistics. I'll see if I can find some strategies to ignore such accounts.

Hi Xavier, I fully understand what you are saying, there are rules and if they are not inflicted, you cannot delete an account, but Numista is a website that has (or is beginning to have) a certain prestige in the numismatic world. I don't think it's good to allow user accounts that are obviously fraudulent. From the moment these types of accounts are allowed, you are opening the door to subsequent negative activities in the operation of the web (impunity when lying or cheating, not only creating false accounts, but also in possible deceptive swaps, inappropriate use of the Forum, etc ...) I think that for the prestige and good reputation of your website, it would be good to have a system to filter activities that are obviously totally out of the question.

I second that!
Although a different issue completely, filtering from swap-search members who were inactive for long periods should also be considered. I'm sure that less than 10% of the members are interested in swapping!
It doesn't affect me that much, but I agree that useless accounts like this one should be definitely closed.
This site is a great community for people passionate about coins and a great place for enriching our collection. As far as I see it, every collector or whoever is interested in numismatics should be welcome, but bored people like these who have nothing better to do than trying to waste their time should be kicked out of here.
Being selective wouldn't hurt.
And I even add that only active members should stay. There are too many inactive users, this is annoying when starting a new swap.
Nothing prevents any Internet user from visiting the Site to consult the catalog or browse the forum or the Numisdoc without being obliged to register.
If he registers and becomes a member, it is to get more, and more by becoming premium and participating.
Many sites, not only commercial, grant a limited period of inactivity, this period before delisting is preceded by one or more emails thus verifying the health of the member.
For example, one of the giants of the web grants 18 months but asks for a confirmation of maintenance 3, 2 and 1 month before.

I came to this thread to find out what the smallest and largest circulation coins were only to find out that nobody even mentioned anything about it :,)
(My guess for smallest would be the Spanish 1 peseta coins of the late 90s though)
