This is indeed the main problem. We can't lend more weight to someone's speculations just because they claim to have a direct line to the "real truth." Even if werewolves existed, there would be no reason why people couldn't claim to be werewolves and try to force conversations to only revolve around their ideas of what a werewolf is. Therefore, claims like that are out of place because this forum concentrates on speculation, not "truth." Even if there were a proven truth out there, it wouldn't mean that our ideal werewolves would be required to adhere to that truth.
The secondary reason (although I think this is the prime reason for some of us) why such claims are discouraged is simply because they are disruptive. Either they annoy (in the case of people who don't believe in werewolves at all) or they tend to induce arguments (in the case of people who think that there is some possibility that real werewolves exist).
Furthermore, if there were real werewolves, what could this forum offer them? Our admiration and curiosity, I suppose, but those would only be dealt out if the werewolves were real AND they could prove it. And then, we'd just be a bunch of gawking strangers with an appetite for more and more videotaped transformations. A real werewolf could find gawkers anywhere. It's not like we'd have any information or help to offer them. They'd already be in possession of more information about real werewolves than all of us put together. So, even in the case of hypothetical real werewolves who could prove it, the only reason they would come here and make such claims would be as attention whores. So, this puts the hypothetical real werewolves who can prove it right back in the same boat with the posers - as attention whores.
By the way, the "can't photograph mythical creatures" claim is a very common excuse in the world of monster sightings, not just used for werewolf claimants. It's been applied frequently to sea serpents, giant lizards, Bigfoots, ghostly demon-dogs and nearly everything else you can imagine, and this excuse has been applied since at least the 1950s. To skeptics, it only adds more evidence to the idea that all such things are fake, especially since this excuse comes in several different flavors (always blurry, double-exposed, camera broken, camera battery drained, electric circuits fried, camera dropped, pictures fine but mysteriously lost afterwards, mysterious people steal photographs, etc.) and you'd think, if it was true, that it would always occur the same way. To believers, it tends to lead them deeper and deeper into the la-la land of weird conspiracy theories, where anything ranging from demons to reptoids secretly control the world and conspire to prevent evidence of the supernatural from surfacing.
I'm playing stupid and blonde right now, but is that THE ABrownigg that's making the movie???? Wow!! I didn't think I would get to talk to a director. This is awesome. I think I'll like it here.
