The admins of the site have a policy based on "truth is stranger than fiction" so stories cannot be called fiction without violating the rules here. I can understand why they have that rule, but it does produce a very extreme result, which is it's a free for all for the fiction writers.
While it's impossible to determine for a fact that a story is fiction, there are aspects that make it less likely of being true. I'm not saying the aspect means it's not true, just that it is less likely that it is true. These aspects are:
1) Speed: the faster things progress the less likely it is true. While sometimes things can progress fast, they more often progress slow.
2) Inevitability: when the husband in the story acts as if he has zero control of his future, it is less likely to be true. While sometimes a husband has zero control, success in cuckolding relies heavily on communication and boundaries. If a real cuckold has zero control, it is likely doomed for failure.
3) Lack of enjoyment: when the husband can never seem to say anything positive, such as "this is great; I am loving this; or this is everything I dreamed it would be" even after being asked by readers if he is enjoying it, it is less likely to be true. The reason a poster would not want to share his enjoyment in his thread is because his motivation to post is to arouse his readers. His readers are aroused by humiliation, and NOT by joy. Expressing that he likes what he is experiencing is a mood killer to his target readers. A person sharing a real story isn't motivated to post to arouse his readers. He is motivated to share what he enjoys.
4) Take his ball and go home: when a poster threatens to stop posting because of people questioning his story, it is less likely to be true. This is because it's hard to keep a fictional story straight through all the questioning. This is why police detectives question suspects over and over and over again, often with the same question just phrased differently. A suspect who is making up his story will have a hard time keeping his story straight, and so will a fictional cuckold writer. A person telling the truth can answer questions consistently and wouldn't feel the need to stop posting due to questions. In fact, one of their main motivations to post their real story out in the public is to answer questions.
5) Unconfirmed wife postings: when readers begin questioning the validity of the story, the "wife" starts posting using the husband's account to add validity, it is less likely to be true. While there are some wives who don't want their own account, if a wife is posting in the thread to validate what their husband is saying, them being unwilling to become verified goes against their efforts/intent of posting in the thread, and it is probably the poster just acting like his "wife" is posting. Sometimes this is obvious when the husband and wife have the same writing styles.
Again, none of these aspects being present means the story isn't true. It just reduces the likelihood of it being true. And if a story has many of the aspects above, it means it is less and less and less likely to be a true story.
But it is possible that a story could have all the aspects of the above and yet still be true. It would be rare, but as they say, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
There are also lots of readers here on this site that don't care one way or another if the story is true or not. So if a story has a lot of the aspects of the above, don't put a response in the thread about it. Just move on. But, if you are someone here to learn, and want to learn what to do and what not to do, fictional stories aren't good sources of education about this dynamic. So if the aspects above exist in a story, it's probably a good idea to ignore the story from your research.
