Addition to forum rules
 

We've modified the forum rules with the addition of:

"Threads and posts solely to promote a specific seller, dealer or auctioneer are not allowed – that is threads and posts that appear to be an advertisement for a seller are not allowed."

"Opinions on insignia originality are our Achilles heel and are the source of 95% thread degeneration that requires moderator intervention. Yet such discussions at the same time are probably the most useful function of the website for collectors trying to build a collection of original items. Joining or continuing to use the forum means you agree to post in a tolerant and mature way in such threads. Remember that opinions on originality are the opinions of the posters themselves and do not represent any opinion or endorsement of the forum owners or moderators. Opinions of insignia originality can be either right or wrong, and must never be interpreted as a statement of the reputation or intent of the owner or seller. You agree to this by joining or continuing to use the forum."
