Read BEFORE posting in the Hermes AT section

[Megs]

Hi everyone -

We have a new set up for Authenticating Hermes items. Hopefully this will be helpful to keep the threads easy to navigate, easy to respond to, and be an overall better for all involved.

Before you post in the Hermes Authenticate This threads you NEED to read the rules!!!! This will make it easier for EVERYONE and really make the chance of you getting your question answered much better.

Please follow the following rules:

• Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about Hermes, please refer to our reference section for such information. Finally, do not submit requests for something that is obviously a fake, e.g. the item says it is a replica, or a $200 Birkin.

• This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

Quote:

Item: Listing number: Seller: Link: Comments:

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.

Authenticators may also request additional pictures and/or information in order to assist with authentication. Please remember, it is always useful to have several close up pictures when submitting an item for authentication.

• Please do not intervene to confront a troll or rudeness on the boards, just use the REPORT function ( button) to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a mod can intervene.

• Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

• Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.
