My interesting observation of FT

As some of you that I've followed me over the last week or so, know that I have pretty busy trying to sort out my own issues having just been implanted last Friday. I received a Lotta good information from several people on FT Warren, Alibaba Hawk, Merrix.  I felt it my duty to try to give back for some of the people seeking the same that information I got. I've had private messages and telephone calls with several of the people I mentioned that helped me a lot.

I ran into some issues from the guys that run FT.  They claimed they did not delete my posts. Nevertheless, they evaporated into thin air before my surgery. After my surgery, I made two long posts detailing what happened and praising the doctor that I had do the surgery both of these posts were deleted and never showed up and never showed on the forum they also evaporated into thin air.  They were about my experience  Up to during and after my surgery They were long posts detailing what happened and praising the doctor that I had do the surgery both of these posts were deleted and never showed.
This really bothered me so I wrote to the administrator directly three days ago asking him what happened to my posts no response. What I see there is the same pattern that unfortunately is the ruin of that forum. I'm very saddened that there are others like me that are being denied the information that they desperately need to help them make life-altering decisions. All in the name of not disturbing the flo of donations and advertising revenue to pay the salaries of the administration of this 501 c3 nonprofit. Smells like the Clinton Foundation.

I agree on both counts. Familiar with the Clinton foundation and it does great things though I've not participated it it like the Bill and Melissa Gates Grand Challenges. (I never won a grant but a friend has received millions for his research).  Paul has consistently told me it is a mystery why posts disappear and that Larry does not have authority to remove them, but I do know in 1 altercation I had with a rather dense subject, my post was removed and some posters asked me about it. After I complained, it was restored. The most recent magic act could not be restored according to Paul and I did that myself. Sales hype verses true experience. Which would you trust? Glad the flop stopped and happy you are doing well. Stay prone as much as you can a few days before you decide to jackhammer up the driveway and plant it in roses. Cheers man.

It really could not be much worse at FT.  It is the perfect storm of betrayal of men needing guidance.

They are highly visible and pull in a lot of men searching for help.
They are a mockery to their very name - they censor information thru deletion and other means
They promote misinformation on implant models
They promote misinformation on the critical issue of choosing a good surgeon
They are using their member base as a customer base for commercial products they intend to sell
Their primary allegiance is to specific doctors and lawyers while they pretend to be loyal to men

They have NO rules at FT.  That is not by accident.  It is not an oversight.  It is by design so they can arbitrarily call members out that interfere with their private agenda.  That is much more difficult when you have clear rules that are enforced the same for Donnie or Larry as they are for Merrix.

Before I fell into bad graces and was trying to help them structure the forum I discussed the need for rules with Paul.  He had no interest.  It was so puzzling until you observe the way they use a lack of rules to shape conduct.   I also discussed with Paul why out of thousands of men (comparable to this forum) he would have a single moderator with no real authority.  By contrast, we have a team of 8 dedicated volunteers here.  Paul is a Counselor.  I told him that, made his method of running the forum even more difficult to understand. He never addressed it even though this was all friendly conversation when we were discussing ideas.  At that point, I was still considering offering to help moderate temporarily to add some structure - like areas for important sticky posts, rules etc.  That's when he told me about having a board of some doctors and lawyers who were his bosses and told him what to do.  He also told me they were going commercial to sell things.

It is such a repeat of what was going with the Peyronies Disease forums that ultimately lead to this site. Like then, the only way we can help is to build this site and to privately invite men here by sharing a link to Dr. Eid's article on Maximizing Size in the Highlights topic, etc. (or some other link).  Contributing to the conversation at FT, unfortunately, perpetuates the problem and ultimately puts more men at risk rather than helps.  Others are of course free to do as they please.  I understand the dilemma.  The problem is however very likely to get worse, not better.

OMG, he's a "counselor"?  Did he say what kind?  You'd think he'd have some ethics!

Quote from: Hawk on November 01, 2018, 12:37:52 AMI also discussed with Paul why out of thousands of men (comparable to this forum) he would have a single moderator with no grasp of people skills, professionalism, or how to moderate a form, not to mention no technical skills.
Just his forum etiquette of always quoting a previous post in it's entirety when replying is really annoying and unnecessary there.

Regarding disappearing posts on FT, I suggest taking a screen shot of your post showing time/date and save it just in case. Without a screen shot the admin can always question whether the post actually made it onto the forum.
