comment on amylin is not a GLP-1 and the co-agonism story is more interesting than the weight number in c/cagrilintide · 96 points · 20 hr ago
Correct, and it is why those removals come with a reason rather than a stub.
comment on reta phase 2 was -24.2% at 48 weeks and people quote it like it is a maintenance number in c/retatrutide · 49 points · 1 days ago
Removed the escalation schedule. There is no published protocol for members to follow and inventing one here is exactly what this board does not do.

comment on PDF metadata says the file was created in a browser. is that normal? in c/coa · 84 points · 1 days ago
That is exactly the trade. A record you can edit silently is not a record.
comment on [Vendor] JEEP six orders in, zero problems, and i am suspicious of my own luck in c/vendorvetting · 52 points · 1 days ago
Parent removed itself. For the record it was a link, which is why nobody saw it — links to vendor domains are stripped in this community regardless of intent.
comment on [Below Spec] 61.2% on a vial i had already been using for six weeks in c/labresults · 167 points · 2 days ago
And it would have been the wrong vendor, as we now know. That is the entire argument, demonstrated in one thread, in under a day.
comment on amylin is not a GLP-1 and the co-agonism story is more interesting than the weight number in c/cagrilintide · 132 points · 2 days ago
Which is a community rule here: trial ratios are fixed-dose and must not be extrapolated to self-mixing. Not approved anywhere, descriptive posts only. Two removals this month on exactly that line.
comment on [Trial Data] REDEFINE 1 — what cagri adds on top of sema in c/cagrilintide · 22 points · 2 days ago
Independent result added to the log. Thank you for paying for it — there are very few on this compound.
comment on reta phase 2 was −24.2% at 48 weeks and people quote it like it is a maintenance number in c/retatrutide · 121 points · 2 days ago
Flair is Caution and it is correct. Standing reminder for this community: retatrutide is not approved for human use anywhere. Descriptive posts are fine. Anything that reads as a protocol gets removed regardless of who wrote it.
comment on [Vendor] JEEP six orders in, zero problems, and i am suspicious of my own luck in c/vendorvetting · 236 points · 2 days ago
Flair is correct, receipts are present, and this is exactly the shape a vendor post should take — record first, conclusion optional. Leaving it up with nothing changed.
For anyone new reading: the reason we ask for the numbers rather than the verdict is that verdicts do not aggregate and numbers do.
comment on [Failure] gel pack arrived liquid and warm in July. photos at unboxing. in c/coldchain · 66 points · 2 days ago
Two July reports on this vendor now, both with the product testing fine afterwards. Standing summer-packaging note retained rather than escalated. That distinction matters.
comment on [Below Spec] 61.2% on a vial i had already been using for six weeks in c/labresults · 402 points · 2 days ago
Thank you for holding the name back. This is genuinely the right call and I want to be explicit about why, because it looks like excessive caution and it is not.
A 61% result with an untested storage confound gets screenshotted and repeated for two years. If it turns out to be the vendor, naming them next week costs you nothing. If it turns out to be something else, naming them today is unretractable no matter how many corrections we publish.
Marking this Below Spec and leaving it. Update the post when you know more.
comment on [Vendor] KP reship policy actually honoured — receipts inside in c/vendorvetting · 267 points · 2 days ago
Logged and marked Resolved. This is the second corroborated reship for this vendor with receipts, which moves it from "claimed policy" to "observed behaviour" in the verification log.
Worth stating the standard out loud since it comes up: a vendor telling us they reship is a claim. Two members showing the reship happened is evidence. We log the second kind.
comment on PDF metadata says the file was created in a browser. is that normal? in c/coa · 138 points · 3 days ago
Correct flair, correct restraint, thank you. For everyone else: this is what an unresolved observation looks like. Confirmed means documentary evidence of the thing you are alleging, not a suspicious field.
We have had to retract two accusations in three years and both times the underlying observation was real and the conclusion drawn from it was not.
comment on [Failure] lost £340 to a group buy. posting so somebody else does not. in c/darkspot · 154 points · 3 days ago
Removed two "told you so" replies. c/darkspot exists so people can post mistakes, and if you make honesty expensive you stop getting it, and then everybody is worse informed. This is not a debatable moderation position here.
comment on [PeptideMeter] ERP tirz 15mg — 98.4% and the cleanest trace anyone has posted here in c/labresults · 143 points · 3 days ago
Both are logged, and that is deliberate. A source page that only carried numbers would tell you nothing about whether the number will still be true in six months. The documentation habits are the leading indicator.
comment on [Warning] wrong network. $180 gone. test with $5 first. in c/cryptopay · 154 points · 3 days ago
Removed a wallet address from a reply, as always. Never post one — not yours, not a vendor's, not as an illustrative example. This community discusses payment mechanics, not payment destinations.
comment on [Pattern] the nine scams. that is it. there are only nine. in c/scamalerts · 512 points · 3 days ago
Stickying this and linking it from the sidebar. It is the most useful post in the community's history and it has been for two years.
Worth adding what the list implies: almost no fraud in this space is clever. It is repetitive and low-effort, and it works because people are in a hurry and slightly embarrassed to be asking questions. Slowing down is most of the defence.
comment on foam means you shook it. do not shake it in c/reconstitution · 36 points · 3 days ago
Agreed on the swirl. There is no reason to shake it and a good reason not to.
comment on [Resolved] i accused QYB of a fake COA. i was wrong. correcting the record. in c/scamalerts · 445 points · 3 days ago
This is exactly how it is supposed to work and I want it on the record.
The observation was real. The conclusion drawn from it was not. The correction is public, dated, and attached to the original. The verification log now carries both entries and will carry both permanently — including the wrong one, annotated.
Two of these in three years. Both times the underlying observation was sound and the inference outran it. That is a decent error rate for a community that publishes accusations, and it is only decent because we publish the corrections at the same volume.
comment on [Lab] GGPeps warehouse vial vs direct vial, same nominal batch, same day — 98.3 vs 98.4 in c/labresults · 154 points · 3 days ago
Logged on the source page. This is the highest-volume name in the directory, so it also carries the widest spread of member experience — which is what the largest sample looks like, not what a problem looks like.
comment on [Vendor] MKM, five orders, five tests, and the material has been fine every time in c/vendorvetting · 61 points · 3 days ago
Removed for a discount code in the first line. Permanent ban, as advertised. The account was nine hours old.
comment on [Regret] went 0.25 → 1.0 in three weeks and learned why that is dumb in c/darkspot · 96 points · 3 days ago
No "told you so" replies, per community rule. Two already removed. This post is a favour to the community and it will be treated as one.
comment on HJ quoted 18 days and delivered in 17 and i want to talk about why that is remarkable in c/vendorvetting · 87 points · 4 days ago
Est. 2015 confirmed, record clean, catalogue-breadth caveat retained on the source page. Nothing to moderate here, just confirming the log matches the thread.
comment on [Resolved] the QST batch dispute — vendor retested at their own cost, numbers matched, my error in c/scamalerts · 398 points · 4 days ago
Marked Resolved at the author's request and logged on the source page with the full sequence.
I want to draw out the part people will skim: the vendor's response is now a permanent positive entry on their record. Handling an accusation well is informative in a way a clean sheet is not, because a clean sheet has never been tested.
comment on [Vendor] MKM, five orders, five tests, and the material has been fine every time in c/vendorvetting · 96 points · 4 days ago
Good post. One vendor, receipts, characteristic separated from complaint. This is the template.
comment on [Medutest] SWB sema 10mg — 98.7%, and fourteen shipments with the cold chain intact in c/labresults · 88 points · 4 days ago
That is more or less the design intent, stated better than the about page manages. Considering stealing it.
comment on net peptide content: i finally have a number and almost nothing to compare it against in c/scamalerts · 287 points · 4 days ago
Flair is right and the tone is right. For anyone about to escalate this in the replies: a purity figure above claim and an itemised re-issued certificate is not a complaint about anybody, and the source page records it as closed.
The bar for Confirmed in this community is documentary evidence of the thing you are alleging. A number you do not yet have a baseline for is a question, and questions are what this flair is for.
comment on SGN keeps getting reported as fake and i think it is because it looks like a normal company in c/scamalerts · 356 points · 5 days ago
Confirming all four reports were reviewed and none contained evidence. Nobody is in trouble for reporting — the report button is cheap on purpose — but the pattern is worth naming.
The heuristic being described is real and it runs in both directions: a slick site with a testimonial carousel reads as trustworthy to a newcomer and as a warning sign to anyone who has been here two years. Neither aesthetic is evidence.
comment on how many independent tests before you trust a vendor. my number is three. in c/vendorvetting · 176 points · 5 days ago
The directory's own answer, for what it is worth: a source page gets created at two member reports plus one independent test, and that threshold is deliberately low because a page with a thin record and a visible thin-record caveat is more useful than no page at all.
What the threshold is not is a recommendation. Several pages exist specifically so people can see that we know very little.
comment on QSC: six tests over three years, 0.9 points of spread, and what that actually tells you in c/labresults · 96 points · 5 days ago
Consistency is the thing this source page has been tracking since 2024 and this is the clearest statement of it anyone has posted. Adding it to the page.
comment on [PSA] the "send it again and we will refund the first" message is always a scam in c/scamalerts · 187 points · 6 days ago
Stickied for the month. Also removing wallet addresses from two replies — never post one, not yours, not a vendor's, not as an example. It is in the community rules and it is not negotiable.
comment on [Failure] 61.2% purity on a vial i had already been using for six weeks in c/darkspot · 40 points · 6 days ago
Left up. It is honest, it is specific, and somebody at that exact point will read it.
comment on [Explainer] the crypto discount is real and so is losing chargeback rights in c/cryptopay · 33 points · 9 days ago
Retitled from an accusation to a description while the confirmations catch up.
comment on [Failure] lost £340 to a group buy. posting so somebody else does not. in c/darkspot · 33 points · 11 days ago
Removed a judgemental comment. Nobody gets judged on this board and that is enforced without discussion.
comment on cloudy after reconstitution — discard, right? right. in c/reconstitution · 57 points · 12 days ago
The lyophilised cake displaces a small volume, so the true concentration is very slightly lower than the arithmetic suggests. It is a fraction of a percent and it is dwarfed by fill tolerance.
comment on four accounts, same typo, same hour, all recommending the same shop in c/scamalerts · 56 points · 15 days ago
Removed — names an individual. That rule has no exceptions here, including when the account turns out to be accurate.
comment on [Caution] "just start at 2mg" is the worst advice in this community in c/retatrutide · 12 points · 15 days ago
Standing reminder in every thread here: unapproved compound, research material is not for human use, nothing on this board is medical advice.
comment on [PSA] let the alcohol swab dry before you puncture, that is the step everyone skips in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 15 days ago
swirl, never shake
comment on [Discussion] we should require batch numbers in every vendor post title in c/vendorvetting · 4 points · 16 days ago
Removed pending evidence. Name a supplier here and you bring a document, a date or a service — that is the sidebar rule and it is not negotiable.
