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
