I must confess that I don’t fully know what a mole is (although I was wondering if Madonna still has her mole the other day!), but I made a separate thread out of these posts so they won’t contaminate the mix post. All I’ve really seen recently is some outside pressure to censor our forum. He’s not that explicit, but he wrote a thread in response to it. > [@Important: Censorship. Would you like to be silenced?](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/important-censorship-would-you-like-to-be-silenced/472): > > I don’t have a lot of time today, but I’d like to know your thoughts on forum censorship. If you’d like, you can just skim the bulk of what I write here, and just present your thoughts in response to the question at the end. Now, as you know, we basically do not censor this forum, and we NEVER read your private messages. As we like to say “They’re called private for a reason”. 1. For the most part, as long as you’re not a spammer or an outright nuisance, I tend not to care. Most legitimate … That and some other dumb stuff almost made Michael, as a workaholic civil libertarian, nearly have a conniption fit. Most of that stuff is not really seen on the forum, though. It’s only hinted at. For the most part, I’d say things are A-OK between us and most of the better companies mentioned on this forum. We even started to expand the acronyms of other company’s products into their full product names, to increase readability for all. Generally speaking (not necessarily about the aforementioned company), most people here know that the pheromone industry has a sort of mafia like, thug element to it. More about profit at any cost, than anything else. That’s why Michael started _this_ company. To develop pheromones into a _real_ technology. To do actual research & development like a _real_ technology firm would. The opposite of how the “get rich quick schemers” that plague this field do it. We’ve worked to distance from most of the pheromone “industry”. This was accelerated more than a year ago when we fired the bulk of our private label customers that use false claims and deceptive practices in their advertising. Sometimes we don’t even like to use the word “pheromone”, which is why we trademarked “Human Musk” and “NeuroInfluence”. We’re trying to do something _new_ here. To do that, we remain as far away as possible from “the way things used to be” and the “good ol’ boy networks” that repress [pheromone technology](https://pheromonelabs.com/) (and apparently sometimes the users, too). --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/moles-noticed-more-l-s-forum-moles-on-the-ad-forum-why-do-they-care-what-we-say/767)._
