Forum
Guidelines

Effective August 22, 2026

The short version

Be useful, be honest, and do not use the forum to arrange transactions or replace professional medical care. Discuss evidence and personal experience without presenting either as certainty.

Research and personal experiences

• Keep claims proportionate to the evidence and link to credible sources when making factual claims.
• Clearly identify personal experiences, opinions, and secondhand reports.
• Do not diagnose another member, prescribe a protocol, or present forum discussion as individualized medical advice.
• Do not encourage someone to ignore urgent symptoms, laboratory findings, or qualified medical care.

Vendor promotions and discussion

Vendor participation is allowed in Vendor Promos & Discussion when the relationship is transparent and the post is genuinely useful.

• Vendors, employees, affiliates, and compensated promoters must disclose that relationship in the post.
• Promotions and coupon codes belong only in the vendor category and must include accurate terms and expiration dates.
• No repetitive promotion, deceptive urgency, fake reviews, review incentives, impersonation, or undisclosed affiliate links.
• Do not arrange purchases, payments, shipping, reshipping, or order fulfillment through posts, replies, or private outreach.
• Members may discuss orders and vendor experiences, but must remove personal order numbers, addresses, and payment details.

Safety, legality, and prohibited content

• No solicitation, sourcing requests, direct sales, group buys, trades, giveaways involving regulated products, or transaction coordination.
• No instructions intended to evade laws, customs, platform safeguards, laboratory rules, or medical oversight.
• No dangerous instructions, fabricated test results, forged documents, or knowingly false health claims.
• No harassment, threats, hate speech, sexual exploitation, doxxing, spam, malware, or unlawful content.

Privacy and account integrity

• Never post another person’s private information, medical records, private messages, or identifying details without permission.
• Use one authentic account. Do not impersonate members, vendors, laboratories, clinicians, or Peptide Protocols staff.
• Choose a display name that does not falsely imply credentials, official status, or affiliation.

Moderation and enforcement

Moderators may move, label, lock, edit for privacy, or remove content that violates these guidelines or disrupts the forum. Depending on severity and history, enforcement may include a reminder, warning, temporary posting restriction, or account removal. Serious safety, fraud, privacy, or legal concerns may be acted on immediately.

Use the Report control on a topic or reply to flag a concern privately. Reporting does not guarantee removal, but every report can be reviewed in context.
