I mean, that's all it takes on QA to access the vendor spreadsheets, but some of y'all be calling that requirement a cult.

There's stuff here that people don't have full access to? This forum?Right? I got Peppy’s full access but I can’t get full access here. I’ll be a newbie forever here. I just want full access to documents

Yes, that is why some of y'all say that. The most recent dispute was over whether or not Coco banned someone for griping about not having immediate access. Controlling access to content and tone policing are very common grievances.

Yes. I won’t name names, but there’s a wonderful spread sheet that a member created—all the vendors, opinions, etc. It used to be accessible to all but when so many people joined he closed access to only people who are a certain level. It’s not on the normal places here, it’s attached to his profile. His work, he gets to gatekeep it. But I was here when everyone could view it and it was very helpful. Now I can’t see it.

You're talking about "the spreadsheet" and its not here. The person who made it (from other people's opinions) took it down and started another forum.Yes.

You said “I can’t get full access here. I’ll be a newbie forever here. I just want full access to documents.” That’s incorrect — you have complete access to every single aspect of this forum. A random user’s google doc is not part of the functionality of the forum and not influenced by forum policy in any way. It’s frankly troubling that people were under the impression that an individual user’s opinions about vendors were somehow officially related to this forum.
If you want access to it, get in touch with the user who manages it, that’s between y’all. As far as glp1forum is concerned you are a full and unencumbered member.

I think people are better off reading here to find vendor reviews and user experiences with various vendors. The Vendor Connection sub forum is a great starting point to find vendors, then search to find user feedback, and join your target vendor's discord/telegram and read more user feedback, testing policies, 3rd party tests etc.

I looked at the spreadsheet in reference about a week ago and I found a lot of it out of date, incomplete or inaccurate. That spreadsheet was one of my first intros to peps, but I think that relying on others to aggregate vendor data and opinions for you is a recipe for trouble. I guess people want to be spoonfed, whether it's the spreadsheet or the "investigation" happening right now over the case of the missing peptides. Like you are saying, way better to just look at vendor sections here and other places, take your time to do a little research, and just be cautious.
The spreadsheet is no longer in use. I actually thought the link had been deactivated.

You're right lol. I just hopped on over to the other forum and checked, that section has been locked down and the link is gone. Maybe it was more than a week ago I last looked? My memory is going already...
I haven't seen the spreadsheet in AGES. But maybe I just haven't looked for it.
He has the CN vendors locked behind a couple posts, but you could easily get there in fifteen minutes of posting replies in a few threads.
