Forum Etiquette If you are posting a source review for or with the expectation of compensation, please disclose

Awesome, thanks for the info

Understandable.

Hey New Members,

If you've signed up for an account on the MESO-Rx forums and want to leave a source review, there are a few things you should know:

(1) You won't have sufficient forum privileges as a New Member to post in the Steroid Underground subforum. The Steroid Underground subforum is the ONLY subforum where these type of reviews/feedback are allowed.

(2) Full disclosure is mandatory. You must reveal that you are leaving a source review in exchange for compensation or with the expectation of compensation (whether it's free product, store credit, cash, or discounts).

The failure to do so is considered dishonest and manipulative (not to mention primarily to benefit yourself and the source). This is especially true if your compensation is based on the source's determination of the "quality" of your review.

This is a harm reduction website. The MESO-Rx Community deserves to know whether your contribution of a source review is primarily in the interest of helping the community or in the interest of helping yourself or the source.

(3) We would much rather see contributions from New Members in the 24 (out of the 25 total subforums) that are not the Steroid Underground.

Consider whether the MESO-Rx Forum is right for you.

Are you primarily interested in harm reduction for the bodybuilding community?

Or are you primarily interested in promoting source's business as long as you receive your compensation?

Helping keep the community safe?

Or scoring cheap(er) or free gear?

Thanks

Just to clear things out. If its not really a "review", but rather posting a blood test or even better lab analysis of their product, where source offers cashback/coupon for posted analysis. Does it need to include expectation of compensation too? For example, if a source offers x amount of store credit for a lab report posted on forum, do we need to say they offer it next to report pic/link?
Basically is this just for common reviews, or for labs too?

If you receive (or expect) any form of compensation from a source, whether it's store credit, free product, or reimbursement, in exchange for posting reviews/lab reports/blood testing, then I like to see disclosure.

It seems like the thing to do if a source incentivizes you to do anything that benefits them.

Of course, if they promise to compensate but refuse if the lab test makes their product look bad, you would certainly let everyone know, right?

Regardless of whether they compensate you or not, lab testing benefits the community at large. Anything that gets more people to send in their products for lab testing is a good thing.

Helping keep the community

If you just joined and only want to make a complaint (in the spirit of warning others), you are free to do so.

But note that source-related discussion is still not permitted outside the Steroid Underground subforum. Consequently, the complaint will be moved to this subforum at the discretion of Administration.

If you want to follow up and reply to the complaint thread, you will need to contribute to the other 24 subforums to gain posting privileges in the Steroid Underground.

I’m not looking for any compensation for anything just don’t want to get scammed anymore then I already have been. I think it would be beneficial tho if sources on here aren’t delivering and they are dishonest new members should be able to see those reviews. Especially those super naive ones just starting out on gear and bodybuilding .

Copy that.

Noted. I joined a couple of weeks ago and being a noob it took me time to even find this section. People should definitely do the new member introduction before it disappears and you can't navigate to it. I smoked too many bongs as a teenager ‍

Great! Love these rules
