Maybe this should be in the "Watch Out" section?

Anyway, here are some nice articles about DRSD fakes:

And maybe you should actually act upon the idea and report this to the mods like we've told you to umpteen times, instead of leaving it to other members to do so? Sheesh.

Sheesh? I'll give you Sheesh. I had already clicked on the Report icon, started to fill in the text, then took a few seconds to read the subtext:

"Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts."

Although this thread was obviously in the wrong forum, it did not fit in any of the above clearly defined criteria. Advertising? No. Harassment? No. Fighting or rude? No.

What to do? Fill in the report and risk getting flamed by Sir Mr. Dekanken Sir? Not worth the effort in my book.

Have you ever actually considered use a little moderation in instances like this?

Sheesh indeed!!!

+1 Why so rude? What is gained from calling out someone as you did? I could go through Bo's 5k + posts and I'd have a hard time finding an instance where he has been rude to anyone. Actually, many of his posts are very informative. I don't get this. Honestly I just don't

Mike, you don't get your inbox flooded with complaints that don't deserve any moderation - don't take my word for it, ask the other mods. If I did respond to all of those complaints, some members would have been banned long ago for no good reason. When it does come to the one time that Bo needs to report a genuine issue, he doesn't. That's why sheesh.

Ironically, the mods get repeatedly second-guessed by some members because we make a point to keep problems away from the general membership, but some days, enough is enough. No offence meant to you, Mike, but I'll take your not getting this as a sign that the mod team's done its job right.

Oh, Mr I-Care-So-Much-About-Details wants to talk? Fine, because you obviously missed this detail: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=22342

I've already announced it to the forum, but have you considered not taking things at your convenience to push your own agenda? I openly challenge you to ask members if they have reported posts about fakes and gotten any heat from me. Go on, give it a go and see how far your presumptuous sanctimony goes before it runs out of steam.

Reporting fakes isn't worth the effort in your book, but you sure got off your keyster to make this post and garnish it with your oh-so-witty repartee, didn't you? Gee, how's that add up?
