What's the stance being taken on "clones" "inspired designs" and maybe straight up counterfeits?

r/ChineseKnives has gone dark due to hostility of certain knife makers and modders trying to get people banned from reddit because they're.... salty? I guess? but what is the stance on posting clones and inspired designs here in budget blades? I guess this needs to be pinned or made as a rule or note if not allowed, but with the controversies lately, I think we need rulings about it.
