Disclaimers do not cure these issues
Adding “this is for research purposes only” or “not medical advice” to the bottom of a prohibited post does not make it allowed. The categories above are removed irrespective of framing because the harm to a reader (legal exposure, counterfeit exposure, dosing error) is independent of how the post is captioned.
What we expect from members
- Use the report flag. Every post has a report button. If a post matches any prohibited category above, report it rather than reply.
- Report adverse events to the MHRA. If you are describing a real adverse reaction, please also report it to Yellow Card. The forum is not a substitute for the official UK adverse-event-reporting route.
- Flag posts about counterfeit pens. Counterfeit GLP-1 pens are an active UK safety issue. If a post describes a pen that may be counterfeit, report it with a brief note so the moderation team can prioritise it and (where appropriate) link the user to the counterfeit-pen guide.
- Keep claims proportionate to evidence. The forum is part of an education-and-risk-intelligence site. Posts that assert clinical effects without distinguishing licensed-medicine evidence from research-peptide preclinical literature are subject to edits or removal.
UK-specific safeguards
- POM substances (Wegovy / Ozempic / Mounjaro / Saxenda) require a UK prescriber. Discussions about obtaining or using these without one will be removed.
- Athletes subject to WADA/UKAD rules are reminded that nearly all research peptides fall under S0 (non-approved substances) or S2 (peptide hormones / growth factors). The forum is not a TUE substitute; see athlete anti-doping risks.
- Posts identifiable as paid promotion must be disclosed as such per ASA / CAP rules.
