TRIZ: What's the average $/mg, shipping & ETA?

I just don’t get the point in replying to every newcomer with the same “learn it for yourself” responses. It would be the same amount of effort to say “here you go”.
“Here you go” opens uninformed users up to being exploited by shills and scammers in the context of the biggest gold rush of our generation, which is taking place completely underground. Encouraging new users to become informed instead of saying “you don’t know me or anything about the landscape but you should buy from x vendor” serves to protect them. If you’ve been around for a minute you’ll be well aware of the amount of astroturfing that goes on in these spaces. Not to mention the harm that can result from getting injectable underground lab meds into users’ hands before they have a basic understanding of how to reconstitute and dose safely, which again requires a level of self-sufficiency that ought to be encouraged.

The landscape is constantly changing, there is a lot of bad information out there (both just because so many know-it-alls like to share their uninformed opinions and because bad actors are trying to extract money from you), and a vendor that is good yesterday may not be good today. A lot of harm can result, both financial and physical. Users need to be responsible for themselves in such an environment.
 
I’ll definitely not be paying to register in that case.
Just to clarify for anyone who comes across this, there is no fee for anything at all on this forum. It is funded entirely by the site owner with no compensation. I’m not sure if this is meant to be a joke or if @General Lee is misinformed, but I want to be very clear on this point.

This isn’t what I’m getting at, My point is to tell them that, rather than simply saying “do your own research”. Or…If people are bored of doing that for the 100th time then simply ignore the newcomers and let them do their own research. There’s no need for sarcastic remarks toward newcomers which I keep seeing from the same handful of “veteran” users.

A mistake on my part, Apologies. Majority of forums have a paid members section. It has been the norm for quite some time (20 years or so).

A great example. The time it’s taken to not help is greater than the time it would have taken to help.


Legitimate question:
Is it just 1 or 2 people you have a problem with that motivates you to create this type of content in so many threads?

Follow up:
If so, is there a reason you don't just DM them so you are not polluting the forum with your negative comments and judgments?

Lastly:
If you have paid registration on many forums and are a moderator as well, why do you come here just to point out, what you consider flaws, as that likely represents 70-80% of your content?

PS:
It would be refreshing to see you respond to this in a way that is positive without excessive emotion.

My intent isn’t to target individuals but to address patterns or behaviors that I believe could detract from constructive discussion. If my feedback has come across as overly focused on specific people, that wasn’t my intention—I’ll strive to frame things more productively moving forward.

While private conversations can sometimes resolve issues, I’ve found that public forums benefit from transparent dialogue when it’s done respectfully. That said, I’ll certainly consider whether certain critiques are better suited for private messages to keep the broader space focused on positive engagement.

My activity here stems from a genuine interest in the community’s growth. As someone who’s invested time in other forums, I share feedback with the goal of fostering better discussions—not to dwell on flaws. I’ll aim to balance critique with more proactive contributions to add value.

Thanks for the nudge toward positivity. I’ll take that to heart and work on ensuring my participation reflects the constructive spirit this forum deserves.

Have a nice day 👋🏽
 
Ah and there it is again….The forum isn’t even old enough for your “yOuVe bEeN hErE 2 wEeKs” comments but yeah in 2 weeks I can judge who’s who fairly accurately since it’s the same group of people with this same issue that never seem to let it lie. Drop the ego it’s embarrassing.
You can call it ego all you want, but showing up to a forum like this to start pissing and moaning about gatekeeping or whatever isn't going to get you taken seriously.

I've seen so many whiny people like yourself complaining because they aren't being spoonfed everything they want, I'll add you to the list. Pointing out that you are new here isn't ego, it's a fact.

Your whining and concern trolling are what embarrass me. And there will be another whiny newcomer next week bitching about the same thing in your absence. Keep the line moving.

Forums are supposed to thrive as community-driven spaces where people share knowledge and help each other. Yet this kind of gatekeeping undermines that purpose entirely. Instead of fostering discussion, it creates unnecessary barriers that discourage newcomers—whether through elitism, dismissiveness, or overly rigid rules. The irony is that this attitude doesn’t 'protect' the forum; it just makes it less welcoming and ultimately less active. Whether I personally stick around or not is irrelevant—the bigger issue is how this approach harms the community as a whole. If the goal is to sustain engagement, alienating potential contributors is the worst way to do it.

I get where you are coming from and agree on the premise, and much of the application, but with some qualifiers. The founder of the forum had a vision for the promotion of self sufficiency and good content, whish is representative in this post he made about a year ago: He preferred subtle bread crumbs to spoon feeding, from what I understand. I think the question is: are we hoping to have more in depth content or very basic questions?

I think the consensus of those who have built and developed this forum is that the latter is accurate and it was never designed an introductory step.
In fact for several months last year all of the new questions were referred to STG, as that forum was the "Stairway" and this was hopefully more intermediate to advanced content. I think assuming it is elitism or gatekeeping is not an accurate lens to see this through, it is simply a graduated course that hopefully allows for all levels of knowledge without the extreme basics of bargain hunting and very pedestrian questions.

I do compliment you on your recent handling of this controversial philosophy and enjoy the debate it can provoke when discussed intelligently.
