How to get involved in group testing

[bjw444]

Hello,
I am a new member to the site and glad to be here.

I have learned a wealth of knowledge already but looking to expand further.

How do I get access to group testing results/ discussion?

Looking to decide which forum approved vendor to use and how to get access to non vendor supplied testing.

Thanks
Rob

Looking to decide which forum approved vendor to use...

No. Such. Thing.

No. Such. Thing.

Yes I reread that. Sorry

I meant vendor that people regularly use.

But how would I be able to join a group where people all Chip in to do batch testing?

Read around the forum.

There might even be a section of the forum dedicated to the topic (albeit recent and light, but there's still a bunch of other info across the forum).

Yes, I know.

Dunno what happened to the rest of that message I wrote.
Yes, realised its you I needed to dm but currently new members are unable to dm you in order to ask about it as we dont have the privileges.

I deleted it because link/invite begging is prohibited.

Yes, I know you can't DM. It's forum policy for new members. Because shitty humans.

Spend more time reading. Start with the New Member Posting Guide and Forum Rules. Then read through some of the 100,000+ posts. Then start participating in conversations. Eventually things will start to fall into place, like figuring out how things work, and earning DM privileges.

Thank you for your reply.
I have read through the posts you mentioned and understand the reasons you’ve outlined regarding why I’m unable to DM or access certain areas at this stage.

I would, however, like to add that while I appreciate the aim of encouraging new members to engage more openly within the forum, restricting access to product testing and related areas can put newer members at a disadvantage. From my perspective, encouraging new members to participate in testing ultimately benefits the entire community, as increased testing contributes to better shared knowledge and safety for everyone.

It’s also worth noting that many new members join the forum because they are actively looking to purchase and begin using products straight away. In reality, a significant number of people in this position are unlikely to wait an extended period or meet posting thresholds before being able to DM or engage in testing-related discussions. This can unintentionally push them toward making decisions without the benefit of community testing and oversight, which seems counter to the forum’s broader goals.

Although I’m new to the forum, I’ve been using tirzepatide for well over a year and am only new to reconstituted methods. I’ve taken the time to search the forum thoroughly and have found the information I needed without posting repetitive or low-value questions simply to increase post count or unlock privileges. I’m now at a point where I’m ready to purchase and would genuinely like to contribute by taking part in group testing.
I would therefore ask whether, as a forum, we might consider encouraging this kind of involvement from newer members, or allowing some flexibility in this specific area, as broader participation in testing is ultimately to the benefit of all members.

Thanks

Ask yourself a question... Why, when as a group we constantly encourage testing as a critical component of this hobby, are there no public links or contact information to join any of the testing groups?

I'll help you out... There have been. In the past. Now there aren't. For reasons.

You can tell me and everyone else here that you are the most upright and honorable person in the world, and an expert peptide enthusiast with nothing but the purest intentions, but unless and until you've convinced the various people involved with any of the popular testing groups of this, your word is meaningless. How do you "prove" yourself to them? Do more than just show up with your hand out demanding an all-access backstage pass. Put in the effort to participate and engage with the community at large, establish a reputation as someone interested in the greater goals of harm reduction and exchanging knowledge and experiences.

Most of the best con artists in history started off by convincing others that they were "one of you".

Finally, to avoid any possible misconceptions, this forum does not restrict the sharing of information regarding the various testing groups — the testing groups themselves do.

I think there may have been a misunderstanding of my intent, so I’d like to clarify.

I haven’t come here demanding anything or asking for special access. If that’s how my post came across, I apologise, that genuinely wasn’t my intention. I would hope it’s seen instead as engagement and a genuine attempt to contribute constructively to the forum.

I’m also not aware of the history or issues that led to testing groups becoming more closed, so my question was asked in good faith rather than as criticism. I fully understand why trust and reputation matter and I’m not disputing that.

What I was trying to highlight is a practical gap from a harm-reduction perspective. While I’m personally in a position to arrange private testing if needed, many new users may not know how to do this or simply can’t afford individual testing costs. In reality, those people will still go on to buy and use products anyway, which can work against the goal of encouraging safer practices. I firmly believe in testing and would like to encourage this with all people new to this.

My intention wasn’t to question anyone’s integrity or demand access, but to raise a point for discussion and improvement. I appreciate the explanation given and the need for caution and will continue to try and engage positively within the forum and prove myself as an honest, good intentioned member.
