We regret to inform our members
02-03-2010 1:07 AM
We realize that this may be an unpopular announcement and that some members may not like nor understand why we've made this decision, but Diane has left us no choice but to ban her and she is no longer welcome at PheroTruth.Â
We all supported Diane in her endeavor when she first joined and wanted to help her get her store going, but when she became a retailer her status changed and she was no longer simply a member. We've really tried as hard as possible to accept and welcome Diane. She took our openness as a weakness and an invitation to spew her hatred for Androtics throughout the forum, trying to discredit anyone who had/has anything to do with them, especially Tisha. Despite Tisha's vast knowledge, experience and dedication, she's tried every way she knows how, in "conversation", to discredit Tisha and make her out a liar. We warned her repeatedly, but she continued to ignore us and proceeded with hijacking threads to further her own agenda. We over looked it and turned our backs for as long as we possibly could.
Diane's posting of PM's between her and Tisha was really over the line. We also noticed and ignored her posts that were almost immediately edited so other members wouldn't see the little digs and jabs at us that were in the original postings. She probably didn't think they showed up in our moderator CP's for us to see. And we let her slide as we discovered her plagiarizing other authors.
It finally came down to all of the admin's being fed up with the struggles that we've been going thorough with Diane since she joined the forum. All of us thinking each day that life would be so much more pleasant, simpler and less frustrating if we just wiped the forum account off the server. So, it was either Diane goes or the rest of us go.Â
The purpose of this forum is so we have a place to gather and discuss pheromones, unfettered by the influence of one vendor or another. It was never intended as a platform for vendors self promotion and promotion of their pheromone products.
We've all invested a lot of time and effort trying to keep the forum fair, open and uncensored and in the process we've discovered that there are those who will take advantage because of those very policies. And because of that we've also learned why policies must change.
Another member who was also banned, had somehow gained unauthorized access to the "Name That Molecule" forum, which had to this point been accessible by Trusted Members only. He was found trolling through that forum without permission. None of the admins had admitted him to that forum nor given him the password. It was also discovered that he had made several posts, both here and at PheroTalk, that were passed off as his own but were written by someone else.
We apologize to any members who may not understand or like our decision to ban these members, but we truly believe that in the long run these actions needed to be taken and are in the best interest of the forum and it is non-negotiable.

Your Forum Staff,

Mark, Bella, Tisha and Renny
