[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 50225, member: 152"]Not banned, but the last time I posted to the jewelry board, I got shouted down by a poster for saying that foiled art glass should not be listed as faux opal. The poster said that foiled art glass was made specifically to look like opals, so they didn't see the problem. I said that rhinestones were originally created to look like diamonds, so maybe everyone should list their rhinestones as "faux diamonds" (which that poster actually does or did at the time). I figure, call it anything you want IRL, but if you're calling it one thing on ebay and it's really another, you're manipulating search results and making it all that harder for people to find the "real" thing. I could see the argument going south, and I am probably just over sensitive as I'm under a lot of stress this past year, but I didn't wait around for a reply and I haven't been back since. I still check out the collectibles board occasionally, but it sure is dead.[/QUOTE]
