Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Personnal Issues Charter

    In light of the constant harassment I’m receiving I want to know what is the charter for the PI forum.

    What do people want to cover there, what should and should not be posted?

    My policy is to come down hard on non constructive / abusive posts because of the personal nature of topics covered.

    I don't think people should post topic's asking for medical advise as the advice they receive may cause more harm than good.

    So what do you all think?

    i agree, i doubt if anyone here is qualified to give out medical info. your local GP should be consulted on all medical issues. other posters can only comment on their past experiences with the problem and what ever treatment they received. but in the end it is safer to get a proper medical opinion from a GP...

    IMHO (i.e. don't beat me up :D)

    I think the range of topics covered at the moment is pretty much how it should be....however, sometimes the muppetry is let go on for a little too long (i.e the "Bent Willy" and "Am I Gay?" threads, which for the most part consisted of people taking the urine)

    Other than that, for the most part, any moderation I've seen seems spot on. And your right, medical advice should be left to the professionals.

    people will always have different personal issues you cant not accomidate everyone. May be the guy with the "bent penis" was being serious you dont know, just have to see how the discussion of the topic goes.

    Harressment? More like constructive critizism my spamming friend.

    Or do you not in fact polute the fine waters of the Boards with your putrid foul smelling filth?

    The facts I think speak for themselves.

    The problem is you cant seem to construe what is and isnt medical advice.

    Asking if little bumps on your dick is normal is hardly medical advice, and if it is why have you left the acne thread open?

    Some good subject matter is being quashed. and lets be honest...they are the best threads for a reader. we do like to laugh or think..what a plonker.

    this isnt the Sun problem page!
    where acne is an honest subject where advice can be given over home secrets or new discoveries on how to beat back the plague of it, spots on a dick, well it could have been more subtle (no offense to anyone ) as saying the spots were else where, in fact there should be stickies on links to medical sites....

    if people only think before they posted, take PI as a good friend without a face and think what would you ask them?

    You have closed every thread on the subject of penises.
    I hope that your penis will remain straight and spot free until the day you die.

    That's one of the issues I feel PI should take on to be.

    Penis/genitalia threads will still be held with... deep suspicion however.
