Needs to be more specific. Until I hear you want it off I am keeping it up. Tracy is mean to people too, but still helpful.

Could I make a suggestion @Stairmaster1?
The tirzepatidehelp subreddit is obviously your subreddit and therefore this is obviously your decision. However it may be beneficial to add to your guide series post for external resources explaining the importance of discretion and include a few examples of how things can go awry when word gets out too quickly.
This should at least help educate the newbies that come this way and hopefully cut down on the number of people calling us morons over here less than a week in.
Just a thought.

Hey, I'm there too. More than any other platform by a longshot

True true. RIP
🛋 It's much harder to discern reliable information now, for both reps and peps. First comes Reddit; then Facebook "technology anxious" (actual phrase used by someone not understanding forwarding) folks; and god forbid anything blows up on TikTok.

The irony of advocating for discretion while blasting something on Reddit.
Anyway, it's too late. That sub gained over 2k people in a week. Damage is already done.

Well when I’m unbanned from reddit in 2 days I can wipe clean any reference to this site and auto ban anyone referencing glp1forum and alternate spellings. Can also take other measures to make sure no one comes here.
Happy to respect the mods decisions, it’s just not clear other than some snark.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. It's not like you can't see anything here without an account. I lurked for quite a while before signing up. This forum is an open book and it's a top result from Google if you just search for glp-1 forums. The founder also has a subreddit named after the forum, with a link to the forum in the sidebar, and a link to the forum in his reddit signature. GLP-1 forum is not like the other site (fight club) where:
1. You can't access any content without an account
2. It's specifically against the rules to share the link publicly
3. They have a bunch of internal controls on what members can see certain sections like sources
I get that some people here are concerned that they'll lose their sources. But bullying you into taking down reference to this forum isn't going to do a thing to prevent it. The masses will find this forum regardless, this place is the low hanging fruit. Meso forum has a ton of source info as well. I suppose if you really want to be snarky, just change the link in your sub to link to Zippity's r/glp1forum subreddit. Problem solved.

Great idea. I’ll change to zippity’s subreddit which should put this conversation to bed.
what I am asking for is for you to exercise good judgement. You’re not breaking any rules by having the link up. That doesn’t mean it should be up — that’s where your judgement comes into play. I’m not the arbiter of every situation, you need to be an adult and evaluate whether there is a good reason to share it when you do. This goes for everyone. Just use your noggins people, I’m not your dad.
If you think it’s a good idea and you’ve spend the time to actually think about it and not just share for the likes and upvotes or whatever then you have my blessing.
That said @ZippityDooDah is in fact your dad so he might veto this and say take it down.

I only have it up to help people find sources. Not likes or upvotes, which is insulting.
Personally I would love to remove a site where a mod makes the community feel unwelcome and that borders on hostile.

They BANNED you?! What for (ostensibly)?
I didn’t say you did it for upvotes. I said that people shouldn’t. Simply asking people to use good judgement ought not be taken as hostile by people able to do so.
But great, you’ve self-identified as ill suited for this community, probably best to remove that link.

Reddit banned me for the random raffle post, but not for the raffle reveal. So I’m not sure exactly, appears to be anti-raffle. No raffles will take place again.

I know reddit.com isn't known for having the sharpest user base but that doesn't mean educating people on the need for discretion early on is not beneficial. The suggestion isn't a perfect, but could help lessen the impact.
Personally i don't see it as a problem that the site is growing. But it is a problem if the people coming here are completely clueless.

That's... I got nothin'. Wonder if it was content of raffle or raffle at all.
Listen - I can appreciate the level of panic and desperation that many people in those subs were feeling when the compounding rug got yanked out from under everyone. I do want to believe you were trying to be altruistic/helpful, but God damn it...I wish you would have gone about it differently. I don't think people here are necessarily hostile towards the newbies (aside from good natured ribbing), I just think the people here are now as concerned that these sources will disappear as the compounding community was. I've seen a lot of people answer a lot of questions patiently, point to popular threads, post videos, etc. I wouldn't call this environment hostile... Maybe a little terse lol.
Ultimately, it is what it is now. Hopefully we weather this little storm okay. People who can hack it here will stay, others will decide it's not for them (this is my pep talk).

I don't disagree. I also don't think literally everyone on Reddit is an idiot... Most of the people here probably have a Reddit account for one reason is another. This situation reminds me of that quote from MIB:
Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow

You make a great point in your first point. I used this forum and several others as well as discord and reddit for a lot of research for a few months before signing up. I was able to read everything on this forum without limitations so I wonder if there's a way to prevent access to content until you sign up. I have no dog in this fight, but I understand the concern of discretion.

Wait until you figure out how to make a dump of the forum on your computer and run it against a local LLM, it's like voodoo magic for finding answers quickI found my own way here as well. It wasn't hard. I'm a Gen X'er and grew up on forums, so I just googled "GLP forum" and voila, here I am
