I commend to everyone paragraph 4.2 of the new Terms and Conditions, which specifies three words and only three words to indicate items which are not genuine. These are
REPRODUCTION, FORGERY and COPY,
and they are recognisable in all the languages used on delcampe, except that you need to take a little care with the equivalents of "forgery" :
FAUX FALSO FALSCHUNG VERFALSING
all obviously meaning false.
This means that foreigners will not be puzzled by words that they might not recognise, like counterfeit or fake, and we should no longer have to wonder about unfamiliar or frankly ambiguous foreign words like "fourrée".
This is a much welcome and rather overdue improvement, which I hope will be strictly enforced. I suggest that all members report to the delcampe team any items they notice which contravene this valuable regulation, essential for fair international trade conducted in several languages.

Sorry, it comes under 4.13, not 4.2 .
4.2 is deontology. Does anyone know what that means ? I don't. Is it collecting teeth, pehaps ?
It may look as though I wrote this on Friday 13th, but I didn't. It's still Thursday here, and although it is Friday 13th in Belgium, that is a lucky day.

It's unfortunate that these Terms and Conditions (or "Chartre") laying down, inter alia, what terminology can be used in the various languages are are not actually themselves available in all the languages, but I'm confident that this drawback will be remedied, all in good time.
