Would you be willing to poll the community to see their opinion. If they are for a separate section in Shoes & Gear, or just a stickied topic to keep it consolidated. Maybe also a way to alleviate concerns, is to not directly say "This companies fake indies have X,Y,X and are good/bad quality" but rather just stay generalized as to not be promoting the specific stores/knock off brands. Also, maybe a stickied topic could start with a long first post that explains the intentions, rules, and standards you apply to the counterfeits you purchase to alert the community. As in, we never buy twice from the same place, we don't advertise the stores, or other stipulations that might put the community at ease a bit as to showing your endeavor is truly only intended to benefit the community, benefit the true brands, and not benefit these counterfeits.
