Title: Dosages and DIY posts
Post by: Jamie D on May 14, 2013, 02:21:08 AM
We have been having a lot of posts lately that are clearly in violation of Rule 8, of the Terms of Service:

8. The discussion of hormone replacement therapy(HRT) and it's medications are permitted, with the following limitations:

    A. You may not advocate for or against a specific medication or combinations of medication for personal gain. This is strictly prohibited.

    B. You may not discuss the means to acquire HRT medications without a prescription. The discussion of self medication without a doctors supervision is prohibited.

    C. The discussion of recommended or actual dosages is strongly discouraged to prevent information obtained on this site from being used to self medicate.


If you want DIY help, don't ask for it on the public boards.  The place to get your HRT information is from a licensed medical professional.

Dosages for herbal or other natural supplements, if used for transition are also prohibited.

If it's intended for hrt, feminization, masculization, or self medication then it's against the rules...

Additions to the rules in regards to meds that fall under the dosage rules of TOS 8.

Folks, although we are talking about medications that have an application for blocking DHT and helping stop, or reverse, male pattern baldness, we need to keep in mind that finasteride and duasteride are also prescribed as anti-androgens for the purpose transsexual HRT.

Consequently, an Administrator has advised that the dosages for these two medications be redacted in conformity with Rule #8 of the terms of service.

Thanks for your cooperation.
