It's not about pressure, it's about keeping this topic clean of unnecessary clutter. I'm not a fan of the term "obvious fake" (you usually need to describe why the hit is fake, even if it looks obviously fake to you), but in the case of Wobbie & Calpurnia, it was strikingly obvious that the hits weren't real -- there were hundreds of hits between them. Any moderator with eyes would be able to spot that, writing about those hits in this topic is unnecessary. If you just want to express your anger about those stupid users, please do it somewhere else. Actually, preferably not on EBTForum at all.3948 wrote:And I'm sure others feel more or less the same.

You can use this topic if you think a moderator has missed something. However, you should remember that moderators do not monitor the site round the clock for fake hits. Therefore it's suggested that you should give the moderators 24 hours to make their decisions, and only then if you feel something weird is going on, publish your concerns here (with appropriate evidence/description). Thanks for your cooperation.

Of course he could keep the data some time before the registration. But that time he could not found all these banknotes together (highly improbable) as they are not new: in a scale of degradation of 1 (new) to 5 (old), I classify the banknote as 3 (normal).
That (and many similar ones) can be possible and the situation there is completely different than in the case I presented on the previous page.vermeer wrote:What can we say about thishit. Nice, but it travelled not on its own power.
K.j.k has explained to us that his wife(/or he himself?) is working as a travel guide/agent, and they get lot's of notes like this from abroad. K.j.k has also brought thousands of notes to Finland from abroad, thus tens of "international" hits like this.
There is nothing wrong with this, but to the case presented earlier I would like to have some opinions.

But on the other hand... vermeer's reaction says it all.
Ppl just wanna help. They don't wanna 'clutter' the forum. They often think the mods missed something or just want to make sure the mods 'see' something.
I stick with what I said. Peeps react without thinking. They're mad/upset/sad/... They mean well.
I know what you mean. But I guess it will always be like that.
