Re: Proper usage of "It's a fake" type posts

I think now, nearly 10 years down the line this post should have some focus placed on it once again.

Over the last ten years there have been some extremely detailed posts, using graphics and photoshopping that unequivocally inform on the legitimacy of some awards (the Belgrade "compass" springs to mind).

Unfortunately due to lack of moderation supervision a few years ago, many users did gradually get into a routine of very poor responses to enquiries which are the sorts of posts that help noone better their understanding and are also contrary to the guide above.

The "fakes" section will slowly be updated with all posts of fakes over two years old being moved into the archives threads and posts of real awards being moved to the "real" threads.
