Community Rules

Everything discussed here is for laboratory research. Nothing on the forum is intended for human or veterinary use, and nothing here is medical advice.

• Don't post dosing instructions, schedules or protocols for people or animals.
• Don't ask others what you should take, or describe using compounds on yourself.
• Don't post photos or videos of injecting or personal use.

• No sales posts, price lists, discount codes, affiliate links or requests to buy.
• No "where can I get" threads or private-message sourcing.
• Discussing a supplier's published test results (COAs, HPLC, mass spec) is fine.
• Links to sites other than journals, research databases, YouTube and Rumble are held until staff review them. So are posts with discount codes, messaging-app handles or requests to be contacted privately.

• Link papers and sources when you make a factual claim.
• Research Discussion is for published studies, trials and preprints: what was tested, in what model, and what it showed. Personal-use reports aren't allowed there or anywhere else on the forum. Your own bench work, such as lab results you paid for or storage tests, goes in Protocols & Methods or Quality & Verification.
• Make clear what is your own reading of a study and what the study itself says.
• Don't post fake test results or edited certificates.

• No harassment, threats, hate or personal attacks.
• Don't post anyone's personal details, including names, addresses or faces on labels, packages or screenshots.
• No sexual or graphic content.
• One account per person. Don't impersonate staff or other members.

Up to four photos per post. Location data is removed from photos when you upload them, but check what the photo itself shows. Videos must be YouTube or Rumble links. Members can report a photo; staff review reports and may remove it.

The Ask assistant answers only from the forum's guides and threads and links its sources. It will not recommend doses or treatments. Its answers can be wrong; check the sources it cites.

Staff may edit, hide or remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules, with or without notice. To report a post or appeal a decision, email mod@chemicalmessenger.com.
