Why do you think there are "sponsored sources"? MESO does NOT sponsor or endorse any source. The forum remains neutral, focusing on its mission of education and harm reduction. It does not recommend or vouch for the quality, safety, or reliability of any particular source. On the contrary, it...

Why do you think he wasn't? He was banned for posting customer tracking information. There were never any incentives for me to keep QSC around. There were only numerous disincentives. QSC certainly was here for free. So you must think was QSC getting special treatment over every paid sponsor...

Yeah, I understand why many people might be under that impression when they see banners or sponsors on a steroid-related forum. That's because almost all source forums implicitly or explicitly endorse their sponsors/advertisers. But MESO is different and has always been different in this...

Ok. I see you found the article about Harm Reduction Forums vs Source Forums. Re: marketplace for AAS suppliers No, MESO's primary purpose remains harm reduction, transparency, and accountability. When you mention "marketplace", I'm assuming you are referring to interactions like posting...

This is blatantly and indisputably false. Why would anyone say this especially you? The sponsor-supported revenue model was in place for over 20 years prior to that incident. The sponsors were already there for literally decades. They didn't suddenly appear. I wasn't sure how to react or...

This is actually a good question. All sources introduce harm. So, let's prohibit them, right? I don't think prohibition is the best approach. The reason that MESO allows sources to participate is because harm reduction requires accountability and transparency. Prohibiting sources might seem...

I do understand why many members are disappointed. I get the perception that there was bias influenced by financial considerations. This is unavoidable. It's a reality that I accepted when deciding to operate under a sponsor-supported model over 25 years ago. There will always be doubts about...

I just saw this. I am a little surprised and disappointed. You could have mentioned this in one of our private messages over the past couple years. At any rate, better late than never. I will address your concerns at a later date.

No one has ever been banned for holding sources accountable. Ever. Rather than try to convince people they will be banned if they dare criticize a source on MESO... Why not encourage EVERYONE to criticize, and hold sources accountable for any and all issues of concern? Why not make it a...

And yet they are held to account just like any other source with no special considerations protecting them from consumer feedback or criticism. Sponsors do NOT receive any special treatment when it comes to the forum guidelines. The rules apply and have always applied equally to everyone.

Do you even know what harm reduction is? So you know the source in question? Members freely and openly criticized and held him publicly accountable for not lab testing his products and pressured him to get them tested The source had products tested as a result. In particular, the DNP product...

You really need to read this thread from the beginning because you are clueless about how this (sub)forum works

What is really funny is that you feel so compelled to stand up for a source and suggest that they deserve special treatment over other sources when it comes to application of the rule against in-thread banners and marketing graphics. If you discover a rule violation, you should formally report...

The advertiser-supported revenue model has been around forever with newspapers, magazines, journals, television, and the internet. Advertisers know they are not buying endorsements. And readers know that advertisements are paid placements and not endorsements. There is a presumption and...

Do you have proof of this? As far as I can tell, there is no shortage of meso members who are quick to call out sources for poor quality products and service, shady and otherwise questionable behaviors. And even you of all people have been quick to pick up the slack to call out your competitors...

Certainly, accusing every consumer who has a positive experience as an alt account will hurt credibility when it is false. And based on my experience moderating forums, alternate accounts can be ruled out most of the time. I encourage members to always report suspected alternate accounts. They...

Whether or not 3+ months was a sufficient length or time for a ban or whether a permanent ban should have been implemented are fair questions. I've always said this from the beginning. I think you know how this subforum works since you've been here for several years and it's operated...

The purpose of the Steroid Underground is accountability. No members are banned for anything that is said about sources. MESO-Rx has a long track record to back this which can be verified by long-time members and anyone who has ever posted a complaint or criticism. People who have been banned...

I know that I am late to the party. But I wanted to read a few of the threads on MESO-Fr, with the help of my good friend Google Translate, in order to get a good feel for what is going on with a complete understanding of the context. First of all, a little information about MESO-En for our new...

It is simple. The same rules apply to everyone. There has never been a SCOC endorsed or adopted by MESO Thanks @lckyrica. You were the only member to report the specific instances of spam.
