In recent weeks it has come to the web developers' attention of maverick accounts being created, posting inflammatory comments and remarks in general. None of which have been backed up. Under the circumstances and during investigations the forum has reason to believe we are under attack from individuals or an organisation that would like to damage the credibility of the forum. We want to issue this statement to legitimate forum users and readers that HLE is dedicated to helping the hair loss community and allowing real users to comment on their experiences and hair loss troubles. We invite open dialogue when it is legitimate and as a result reserve the right to ask any user to confirm any comments or remarks they make.
We have also deleted many dormant accounts where the emails are no longer valid and users who have never posted. If you do happen to be one of these, it takes less than one minute to register.

A few weeks ago this annoucement was made on the forum regarding unusal behaviour from some accounts. This is not unusal on popular platforms like hairlossexperiences as we have good traffic over google etc and can be used by some that have an agenda. Due to the nature of the internet it is not always possible to track user account effectively and ensure all users are genuine with a genuine reason for contrubuting to the forum. Because of some recent activity we have to take steps to try and ensure users are real. This is to safe guard the ethics of the forum and the information being given. For the next week we ask everyone to use their true IP settings while we examine some activity. Any proxy server settings may be blocked, possibly banned and deleted from the forum. We apologise for any inconvenience to the vast majority of normal users that may use a proxy server and hope you understand it is to maintain the quality of information and hairlossexperience as a credibilble site for the hair loss and hair restoration community.

It is unfortunate that this is happening, but when forums are operated reasonably and responsibly, it can be threatening to others. The very idea that some may see insistence of legitimacy as a threat is troubling but I can say from nearly twenty years on forums, I'm not surprised.

Sorry to hear this Bigmac, such a shame that people feel the need to do this....although this is awful, very annoying and frustrating for the admins and owners it does show that the forum is a good one for someone to be jealous enough to try and sabotage things.

Makes me mad though as this forums priority and purpose is and always has been to help hair loss sufferers....so why they want to try to ruin this is beyond me dude.

Thanks, Bullitnut and Joe. There will always be this type of person around. A lot of the misuse has been resolved.
