Your comments only continue to reaffirm my su
ions. You call it a witch hunt despite the fact we\'ve dealt with shills, fake accounts, and fake pictures. Why are you so surprised by this type of scrutiny if you know we\'ve had to deal with this kind of thing? We just found out a member touting the same procedure you had used fake photos. Wouldn\'t it be natural for us to be very skeptical of your posts?
And your allegations of association with Dr. C, as silly as it is, was the same topic of a visceral PM sent to me by a busted shill account a while back, pretty much making the same baseless accusations. Coincidence? Not that I even intend on defending this forum, but our inception was well before
PMMA was relevant. Check out
Phalloplasty.proboards.com if you want to look even further back.
And I wasn\'t wrong about your inability to help yourself...you just had to insert another pitch... \"Call him.\" This is classic shill language, no normal member is like \"Oh my God my
FFT with Dr. Giunta was amazing, give him a call you wont regret it!,\" or \"not sure why all the negative reports but Dr. Elist is the real deal, just call him yourself and you\'ll see.\" Not saying you are a shill, but you sure do sound like one. Nothing normal about a 5-month inactive Loria member coming alive just when another member gets busted with shilling. Actually, you are one of two accounts that popped up coincidentally around the same time this shill was busted. Again, are you so surprised by the scrutiny knowing all this?
Honestly people, who are we kidding here? I\'ve been through this charade one too many times before, if we\'ve done anything to earn your trust, trust me on this one. This guy doesn\'t add up. And if I\'m wrong, he still doesn\'t add up. I\'m serious, he\'s flat out admitted to being completely okay with having a mystery cocktail injected into his penis. So either we\'re dealing with a shill or we dealing with a guy who likes to use weird black bordering around all his photos.
@Bigben & those who are interested in knowing about potential topic bans:
What\'s on the forum isn\'t everything. Oh boy, not even the half of it. We just didn\'t feel the need to play these kind of \"games\" with Dr. L publicly, back during the peak of those cat & mouse games. Suffice it to say there is enough information to have already justified a permanent ban on new Dr. Loria posts (and even Dr. Elist for that matter).
But the reason it has not happened was because of a founding principle of this forum: preventing censorship. The reason (among a few) this forum was created was due to the censorship of Elist-critical threads at MyNewSize (dot com, now defunct). That said, another founding principle of this forum was the prevention of misinformation, which also stemmed from the shilling and deception at MyNewSize.
What is happening now with these recent shilling attempts is the realization that if this continues,
PhalloBoards will be at a crossroads: is it justified to ban content if it more often proliferates misinformation than it does educate, even if that ban amounts to some form of content censorship? To many of you, you might think, \"why such a big deal?\" or \"why so serious?\" Well, try finding any other legitimate source of information on this website\'s topic and then you\'ll begin to understand why this site\'s integrity has a lot of importance... we value our cocks (maybe obsessively), and many of us have pressing reasons to enlarge it. It\'s crucial that the source we obtain penis enlargement information from isn\'t cheap, misleading, biased, or commercial in any way. And this explains why I haven\'t made an executive decision on the matter (yet).
Now, however, things are starting to shift toward implementation of a forum-wide ban. For two reasons really. Firstly, the notion that this physician can profit through a forum he\'s deliberately disrespected has rubbed us the wrong way. This is in light of the fact that I\'ve started to collect donations because I will no longer allocate personal finances to fund this forum. Now you may think this is a personal/emotional response, but so what if it is? This is not a full-time endeavor for me, but I\'m proud of the number of people this forum has helped (including the many who decided against
Phalloplasty) and am not entirely fond of a few entities who wish to taint the content here with quackery & deception.
Secondly, the fact that it\'s happening again. We had a peak of Dr. L shilling a while ago and it died down. We\'d have some things occasionally pop up but what we\'re seeing now looks like another full-blown shill barrage. It\'s like the \"straw that broke the camels back,\" we\'re far too busy in our personal lives to have to constantly investigate the shamelessness of some of these doctors. Will it end?
On a last note, and to touch on what Hoddle\'s been saying, exposure alone is plenty of advertisement for Dr. Loria. When MyNewSize was up & running, many men saw the red flags but were so allured by the idea of a big penis that they were willing to look the other way. Ask Messageman, he and others can relate. Had there been a
PhalloBoards during those days, maybe, just maybe, a few more men could have been spared a horrific life experience. Is that PhalloBoard\'s responsibility? To protect its readership from unscrupulous doctors who wish to profit on our insecurities? Or should we just vanish and let this forum become inundated with spam, magic cocktails and
Penis Pills? Where do we draw the line?
I wrote that all out so that many of you will now know our reasoning behind any major policy changes, should they happen.
