Is Meso Losing Its Edge?

[BigDadd7]

...A message forum is a fairly archaic platform at this point, and there's no reason to go to the trouble if I can just get the same experience on TikTok or Instagram.

I agree with you that these are growing pains, but I also think the forum is at a crossroads. It is probably tempting to want to grow the user base by allowing the maxxers in, but it will fundamentally change the forum for the worse in the long term.

99% of tiktok and social media is garbage- pretty boys and/or charismatic loudmouths saying whatever they want without fact check. At least here people can voice their disagreement.

You guys serious?

So I'll answer since none of you did..Depends. At the 2 week mark I'll prefer to go BAC. But use straight WFI for generally if vial is used up within a week.

That was his question.

Take a loss and admit most of you are grumpy fucks most of the time.

No loss here when intelligence prevails.

You obviously never took a science class and manipulated culture growth. It's on everything and believing 6 days is okay, is without any other confusing definitions for you "STUPID".

The only instance I would use distilled water or the like would be a 10iu HGH vial where I'm splitting 5iu am/pm. But come to think of it, I wouldn't do this either as that constitutes multi-dose, giving unnecessary exposure.

SWFI is for single use.
if you pin a 10-15IU vial, SWFI is the way to go.
if you split it in 2 pins 24h apart, you can use saline, but you are cutting it close.
Any more than that, you should use BAC.
Anything else is endangering your health for no real gain. BAC, saline and SWFI cost almost the exact same.
You have to either be the greediest little man or willfully ignorant to not use BAC on multi-use vials.

Careful man, your logic is spot on and explained. His ability to listen and adhere is lacking.

When emotion outruns regulation, listening becomes impossible, not because intelligence is lacking, but because the nervous system has chosen defense over dialogue. It's an instinctual failure and one that leans towards maladaptive traits, furthering ones inability to evolve.

I completely agree. My point is that if nothing is done to stop the current trend, there will eventually be no substantive difference between this forum and social media. The dummies will take over. In such case, there would be no point in participating in this forum. I would hate to see that happen.

Alright, moderators are doing their job. If he believes that what I wrote somehow hurt the feelings of new forum members or violated the current standards, then those are the rules and I’m obviously not the one who gets to rewrite them.

For transparency, here’s the exact post that earned me a timeout in Steroid Underground until April. Anyone can read it and decide for themselves whether it was actual harassment… or just forum banter that landed a little too hard.

Post in thread 'Qingdao Sigma Chemical Co., Ltd (International, US, EU, Canada and Australia domestic'

That is what got you banned?! That shit cracked me up.

I think your post is a great example of a lighthearted joke between grown adult men. Not only was it a hilarious light hearted joke, you also answered the persons question and provided useful information. Thats a 3 in 1 post.

When moderation has reached a point where jokes as soft as that are getting valuable vets banned, it's clearly gone too far.

The changes to this forum, especially moderation, have pushed away some of the most knowledgeable members who are responsible for the largest contributions to harm reduction. These members have constantly grilled vendors to raise standards, greatly increasing harm reduction.

And now many of them are gone.

@MESO-Rx Administrator , I really hope you listen to the community and make some changes to the moderation policies you are enforcing, before it's too late.

I think we can all agree on banning kids, trolls, and cleaning up spam on threads, but banning knowledgeable vets for cracking jokes while answering questions is doing more harm than good.

This seems like an excessive response, and not any different than comments I see from others every single day.

I’d much rather see anyone whose first post is trying to source, get slapped with a 6-8 wk read only ban.

The read only ban is a great idea, I think you're on the right path here. The mods could create a sticky, actions xyz will result in an instant ban.

Also I don't get it why some people with thin skin go reporting posts as hateful/trolling/whatnot when they really aren't.

Generation that grew up with report buttons and safe spaces vs the generation that couldn't report shit and no space was safe, not even home!

Oh yes basically the Zyzz crowd that came flooding in some time back, and now those who came over from bb.com Misc after that forum closed down 2 years ago.
