FOLLOW REDDIT & SUBREDDIT RULES!

Our subreddit rules are also based on Reddit rules. Read all of them carefully. Reddit may remove your post/comment if it violates their policies. This may result in temporary or permanent bans.

If you want this subreddit to exist, adhere to these rules.

If you want to engage in discussions that are not allowable on this platform, join our free website forum at https://peptidesource.net/home/community/ This sub and the forum operate seperately.

No Private Message Solicitation

Do not use this subreddit as a means to engage in private messages with users, particularly for the purpose of solicitation, asking for sources, or otherwise. Join our website forum at https://peptidesource.net/home/community/ for a more open discussion that is not allowable on Reddit.

Please report (to Mods and to Reddit) any private message solicitation of any sort.

No Source Solicitation or Price Discussion

This subreddit is for discussing general information and experiences related to peptide research (no human use discussion), and scientific research on peptides. Do not post URLs or vendor names, ask for sources openly or via DM, and do not solicit others to DM you about sources. That is transactional and it is against Reddit rules. Do NOT discuss quantified prices.

For more open discussions, join our free website forum. Link is in the sidebar.

No Human Use Discussions!

Peptide source is only for discussing peptide research. Please refrain from discussing any personal use of peptides or their effects on humans unless citing actual research. You must be 18 years old to participate in this sub. For source discussions please see the forum peptidesource.net. This sub and its mods operate separately from the peptidesource.net forum.

Report Your Affiliations

If you're discussing your own site or otherwise promoting a service/product of yours or anyone else's, you need to gain permission from the Mod Team.

Keep It Science/Evidence Based

This is a science/evidence based sub. Usage of citations to support your claims is highly encouraged and may become mandatory.

Private Messages to Mods

Please do not private message the Mods unless it is absolutely necessary. Please keep your contribution to the subreddit public via posts and comments.

You Must Be 18 Or Older

You must be 18 years of age or older to view and engage in this subreddit. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Be Polite, Civil, and Constructive.

Do not personally attack another user in this subreddit. Posting another person's personal information will result in a ban and a report to the Reddit admins.

Be civil & constructive. Engage in good faith. Trolls/agitators will be banned. Address the arguments, not the person. The subject of your sentence should be "the evidence" or "this research" or some other verbiage directly related to the topic of conversation.

Don't Use Downvotes For Disagreement

Do not use downvotes for disagreement. Use your words or the report function. We are here to learn and discuss, not to reinforce our preconceived notions. See: https://old.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette

Low-Quality Spam

Low-Quality Spam/Astroturfing is not allowed. Necroing posts, using throwaways to shill sites, spamming random posts/comment chains and more will result in a ban.

Submission Guidelines - Titles

Generally link titles should be the original title of the article/study and/or a direct quote from it. If your submission is an article, please include the title of the study if possible. It helps find previous submissions and prevent duplicates. For when the study title isn't adequately descriptive see https://archive.fo/9nVMa

Titles should include the month and year the study was published, and model where applicable. Eg: (Nov 2018, mice).

DO NOT POST VENDOR URLS.

Submission Guidelines - Links

No plain links as text posts. If there is no need for a significant amount of text, which also can't be shared as a comment, then please submit your link as a link post.

No articles covering unpublished studies.

Please link directly to the study instead of pubmed. Linking to full-text articles on PMC is fine.

Use clean URLs - no extra stuff after the main URL.

Submission Guidelines - Engagement

Submitters of studies are encouraged to include some comment explaining why they feel the research source or paper is significant, or some commentary and/or quotes on the parts they feel are salient.

Submission Guidelines - Quality

Memes as top level submissions are not appropriate. Other low-scientific-quality content may also be removed.
