Community guidelines: what this forum is and isn't for

GuidelinesReaderAnalyst

What this is: a place to discuss published peptide research. What studies found, how good the evidence is, what's still unknown.

What this is not: medical advice. Nothing here is individualized guidance for any person and nobody here is in a position to give it. Discussion is educational and about research.

Evidence standards: say what kind of evidence you're talking about where it matters. In vitro, animal, observational, human trial, approved indication. "Studies show" without a species is not a claim anyone can evaluate.

Out of scope: - Individualized dosing or protocol direction. - Sourcing and vendor recommendations. The vendor directory exists for that and is based on real member reviews. - Presenting anecdote as evidence without labeling it.

On disagreement: encouraged. The best threads here are disagreements. Say what specifically you disagree with, and prefer "the evidence for that is weak" over "you're wrong".

    The disagreement section is the part I'd point new members at. This place works because people argue about evidence rather than about each other.

    Glad labeling anecdote is in there rather than banning it. Anecdote is fine as a starting point and a problem as a conclusion.

    The vendor line is worth keeping firm. Every forum in this space turns into a sourcing forum unless that boundary is held.
