I know this is valid for many accounts but it's just the start...

FR is always positive
FR always uses ratings (9/10 or more) and never goes into detail
FR style is always similar (I mean it's probably the same guy writing many fake FR. How many variations can you come up with)

Still this is valid for many FR

But if you read this thread daily you will notice the pattern

For me the biggest give away is that it is always the same set of stables. Won't mention them because my post will be deleted immediately. There are 3-4 sister stables and the fake FR are always for these 3-4 stables. If you check the posts of these posters you'll see they ONLY give FR for always the exact same 3-4 stables and nothing else. And all FR are very positive. So by now I recognise the pattern and I skip through all those fake FR. In my opinion 90% of fake FR come from the same set of stables. Other stables less fake FR but some use other tricks. Mainly photoshop or pictures from few years ago. But there are a few genuine stables with accurate and up to date pictures and no fake FR. Go look and find
I have been actively sending these fake fr nicks to ignore list and as of last count more than 100 of them. Sometimes when I check in the thread , I’ll see a list of more than 7 ignore nicks in one page and I know I’ve made the right choice lolol
