Some people have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the MESO Steroid Underground operates. This is NOT a source forum.
The putative goal of a source forum is to present only those sources who are "good to go". This is one approach to harm reduction involving product acquisition. And this is the model that practically every AAS-related forum has followed.
But unlike other forums, MESO admins do not pick and choose who is allowed to participate and who is not allowed to participate. Nor do MESO mods decide. Nor does a small group of members decide either.
This is because we have seen over and over again how this ends up silencing voices. Members are discouraged and often banned for criticizing "approved sources". Similarly, members who want to share positive experiences about sources that have not been approved by the forum are restricted as well. The truth quickly becomes a casualty of this approach.
The manner in which sources are approved on these forums may not accurately reflect the actual risks associated with those sources. This may happen for many reasons and often it is due to pay-to-play schemes, freebies, and other benefits or agendas that may benefit admins, mods, etc.
So, MESO has tried a different approach...
The sources you see on MESO represent a cross-section of what an AAS user might find on the Internet. The presence of a source on the forum has NEVER represented an acceptance, approval, or endorsement of any kind of a source's products and/or business practices.
There is no perfect source. There is no such thing as “good to go” on MESO. There are positive and negatives for each and every source – and these positives and negatives are evaluated differently by each and every member.
The goal of each source thread is to hold EVERY source accountable. As such everyone is allowed to participate in the Steroid Underground. Customers are free to post positive and negative reviews; positive and negative lab test reports; criticisms of business practices; complaints of customer service; legal risks and consequences, etc. Sources are allowed to participate and respond to criticisms/complaints/problems -- and more importantly, their responses or lack of action are part of the permanent record for other members to evaluate.
This approach recognizes that harm reduction involves every aspect of anabolic steroid use. Harm reduction is not limited to the quality and safety of AAS products and management of side effects but is also relevant at every step of product acquisition.
