From what I typically see on the sub most of them could be answered with a very simple Google search and a little bit of effort yet 80% of the sub is these types of posts. Almost all of those 80% are people that already know that their watch is fake, or that they could do a little bit of research and find out for themselves. Not trying to be unfriendly or unwelcoming of new people to the watch world but I feel like the sub should be more about appreciating watches and less about enabling people to be lazy.

We’ve been recently having some discussions about the seeming increase in quantity of “identify my fake” posts.
We are looking into some tweaks to automoderator, but most likely this spring we will have it as a large ballot item on our State of the Subreddit meta post where you the community annually get to guide our policies.
