Back when we created the sticky on the fake Buck market, it was intended to be a collection of photos of fakes to aid in ID with only mild to none discussion on the laws and politics. Actually things are not really bad yet.
There has been some behind the scene discussion, that too much writing might or could start increasing in that sticky thread and it should be in some other location that discusses knife laws and copy rights and other such stuff. That folks trying to look over fake knifes have to zoom thru more talk than is needed. Lots of the talk has had a question and answer style. Today two threads are going talking about counterfeits. Some of those photos should be in the sticky. But the opinions on the counterfeiters and politics should stay in the thread. Remember this is a Buck knife forum, all threads have to tie in directly to Buck knives.
I think I agree that the long deep political discussions need to be somewhere else. If you wish to discuss Buck copyright infringements then a regular thread should be started so folks will know what is going on in it. And that early on they realize to post photos in both the sticky and thread, long discussions in the thread.
Anyway what do you say , clean up the sticky from talk, start a new thread or leave things alone.
PS Starting a sticky is not simple, and I personally don't want to see two dozen sticky's at the top of the page. So I am not in favor of making a talk sticky. There are actually other forums in specialized purposed location discussing copyright infringement and the good ole USA. So I am asking you want to clean up the fake sticky a little when discussion becomes political or leave it alone. I would likely mention the sticky is not for long discussions every once in a while and make comment if someone goes beyond reasonable questions and answers. My last option would be to move a posting to a current thread or start one with it.
