Welcome to our vibrant community dedicated to discussing all things GLP-1!
As a new member, here are some important points to help guide your first posts and make your way around here without running afoul of our few but important rules:
We try to be a very warm and welcoming and community and gladly promote the sharing of knowledge and experience, but like any new social group it can take a little time for everyone to "warm up" to you so please be patient and use that time to take advantage of the volumes of information readily available in existing posts which can be discovered with the help of the Search function.
Again, thank you for joining and welcome! I am genuinely glad you're here! I know all these rules and such sound really tough and restrictive, but unfortunately a few bad apples recently have been spoiling everyone else's enjoyment so we had to put our foot down. Believe it or not I am dedicated to free speech and the free and open exchange of information as long as it's done responsibly and with a heavy emphasis on safety and harm reduction.
As a new member, here are some important points to help guide your first posts and make your way around here without running afoul of our few but important rules:
- New members must make a post introducing yourself. Use this as an opportunity to tell us a little bit about yourself including what brought you here, what you’re hoping to learn and accomplish, any experiences you’ve had with weight loss, diabetes, GLP-1 medications, and similar things. We also expect as part of this introduction post that you express your commitment to the importance of both safety and Harm Reduction as they are vital aspects of everything we discuss here. Obviously you don’t have to share anything you don’t want to, but this first post will help us get to know you a little and start your experience here on a positive note with our warm and welcoming community. (And please, don’t just go through the motions of making a hollow introduction post just so you can gain access to posting in other sections and threads (or worse copy & paste someone else’s post and edit it to make it seem like your own).
- New members are subject to a variety of restrictions & limitations regarding posts and participation (think of it as a probationary period). These limitations diminish over time with the more posts you make, the more “likes” your posts receive, and the length of time you’ve been a member. How quickly (or slowly) you achieve those thresholds is entirely in your hands. IMPORTANT: If we detect or suspect "post whoring" (making a lot of posts to try to overcome new member limitations) you will spend even more time on "probation" with continuing limitations and your posts being reviewed. Post count is not the only factor in the user promotion ladder and trying to "beat" the system is not appreciated or tolerated.
- All posts by new members are moderated during the probationary period, meaning that any posts you make will be manually reviewed and approved by myself or one of the dedicated moderators before being published and visible to everyone else.
- The following topics and behaviors are prohibited for new users, and some are prohibited for all users. With more posts, more "likes", and a little time, many of these topics can be freely discussed in the appropriate sections. Until then, please be patient and take some time to read and learn from the 56,000+ existing posts and the helpful, knowledgeable members of our community. Posts by new members violating this (or any other) policies laid out here will not be approved, and if you keep doing it you'll end up on the "never approve" list.
- DO NOT MENTION THAT YOU ARE HERE TO FIND SOURCES. We know that's why you're here. You don't need to tell us. WE KNOW. When you arrive at a restaurant do you announce to everyone else there that you've come to eat?
- DO NOT MENTION SOURCES THAT YOU LIKE/HAVE PURCHASED FROM. We don't need to know, and we really don't care. The only exceptions are if you've been scammed or if you're sharing information about a serious threat to safety posed by a specific source (and even then such posts are still subject to moderator/admin review).
- DO NOT ASK ABOUT SOURCES, EITHER IN GENERAL OR BY NAME. Posts asking "Has anybody heard of ___?", "Can anyone share their experiences with ___?", "Looking for recommendations on where to buy ___?" or anything remotely similar are prohibited (and very tiring).
- POSTS ABOUT RESEARCH CHEMICALS, SOURCES, PRICES, ETC. ARE RESTRICTED TO DESIGNATED FORUMS. As mentioned earlier, new members have a variety of restrictions as to what can be posted and where. Research chemical discussions are restricted to specific forums and if you haven't yet earned privileges to post in those sections that means don't post about them. We have a lot of information here about research chemicals if you simply relax and absorb that information until you're able to post in those sections you'll probably find answers to all of your questions. We're not keeping secrets from you; you can read every section of the forum including ones you can't yet post in.
- NO LINK BEGGING/SHARING. If you came here to get links/invites/etc. to supplier sites, super top secret Discords, Telegrams, MySpaces or other places where you think that link or invite is a magical key to all the secrets everyone is hiding from you, prepare to be disappointed. This is currently a zero-tolerance policy for ALL members.
- NO SHILLING. This has been the standing policy of this forum since day one, yet every day recently there are dozens of people signing up just so they can make posts under the guise of a genuine helpful review recommending whatever vendor is either paying them or offering some kind of incentive like free product, discounts, affiliate income, etc. We've seen it all before and we see right through it now and do not tolerate it. If anything it's a really good way to convince people that such a vendor is not worth doing business with at any price, and with over 8000 members we don't hesitate to call out shitty vendors here and on countless other platforms.
- DO NOT MENTION THAT YOU ARE HERE TO FIND SOURCES. We know that's why you're here. You don't need to tell us. WE KNOW. When you arrive at a restaurant do you announce to everyone else there that you've come to eat?
- AND OF COURSE, FOLLOW THE REST OF THE RULES. There's only 10 (well, now 13 because some people suck), and they're pretty simple and straightforward. You can view them here if you haven't already: https://glp1forum.com/threads/simple-rules.1/
