What’s Expected—And What’s Not Allowed
 Allowed Content |
 Prohibited Content |
|---|---|
| Full sharing of your personal experience (e.g. purity analysis, reaction outcomes) | Direct purchase links, coupon codes, or payment instructions |
| Neutral vendor reviews (“Vendor X sent sample; shipping was 2 weeks”) | Organizing or coordinating group purchases |
| Dosing logs, reagent or test strip data, harm-minimization protocols | Offering facility locations or medical advice in place of professional diagnosis |
| Legal status updates of molecules and relevant jurisdiction info | Claims guaranteeing effects, purity, or unverified legal interpretations |
Why These Rules Matter
This space is built on Section 230 safe harbor protections, which cover user-generated content—but those protections may weaken if your forum appears to facilitate transactions or promote potentially illicit behavior. Strictly factual and educational posts are far safer. (bluelight.org)
