I remove the obvious stuff so you never see it. Message the modmail, not me.

comment on reta phase 2 was -24.2% at 48 weeks and people quote it like it is a maintenance number in c/retatrutide · 16 points · 1 days ago
triple agonism plus glucagon is a different physiological state than GIP/GLP-1 dual
comment on [Win] four denials, three appeals, one external review, approved in c/insurancefights · 104 points · 2 days ago
Flagging the community rule since this thread will attract it: do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis. That is fraud, it gets you banned here, and it puts the person taking your advice in a far worse position than a denial does.
comment on [PSA] severe abdominal pain is not a forum question in c/sideeffects · 121 points · 3 days ago
Removed a reply speculating about a specific reader's symptoms. This is the one thing that is never allowed in this community, no matter how well-intentioned.

Stickying this permanently. It is the post I link when I lock a thread, and it is better than anything the mod team has written on the subject because it comes from someone who made the mistake.
To be explicit about how we handle these: the thread stays up, speculation about the individual case gets shut down, and we point at real help. That is not us being unhelpful — it is the only genuinely helpful thing available to a group of strangers on the internet.
comment on [Resolved] i accused QYB of a fake COA. i was wrong. correcting the record. in c/scamalerts · 88 points · 3 days ago
Removed two "should have known better" replies. c/darkspot exists partly so people can post being wrong; making that expensive here would mean fewer corrections, not fewer errors.

week 31 and the early fullness is finally getting better
comment on [Question] small molecule means purity testing is a different problem, right in c/orforglipron · 42 points · 4 days ago
Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?
comment on SGN keeps getting reported as fake and i think it is because it looks like a normal company in c/scamalerts · 61 points · 5 days ago
Report button stays cheap. Please keep using it. We would much rather review four unfounded reports than miss one founded one.
comment on [Discussion] are the c/vendorvetting evidence rules too strict (no) in c/meta · 21 points · 6 days ago
Maintenance for 14 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
comment on [Discussion] the Ontario answer is not the Alberta answer in c/glp1canada · 1 points · 6 days ago
special authorisation is province-specific
comment on [Regulatory] state board actions worth reading if you use a compounder in c/compounding · 3 points · 7 days ago
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
comment on [Speculation] what happens to the research-peptide supply chain if this lands in c/orforglipron · 33 points · 7 days ago
the muscle cramps profile is speculative at this stage
comment on my compounded vial arrived at a different concentration than last month in c/compounding · 1 points · 9 days ago
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
comment on [Discussion] the compounding gap was a symptom, not a solution in c/compounding · 5 points · 10 days ago
Not to be pedantic but compounding and 503B are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on why does everyone say week 4 is the wall in c/semaglutide · 8 points · 10 days ago
Yeah, 78 weeks on 0.25mg, same pattern, same timing.
comment on the nausea profile at 7.5 was worse than 10 for me and i cannot explain it in c/tirzepatide · 306 points · 12 days ago
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
comment on the nausea profile at 7.5 was worse than 10 for me and i cannot explain it in c/tirzepatide · 84 points · 13 days ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on [Question] does anyone get a COA from their compounding pharmacy in c/compounding · 59 points · 14 days ago
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on [Question] does anyone get a COA from their compounding pharmacy in c/compounding · 8 points · 15 days ago
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
comment on SURMOUNT-1 was -20.9% at 72 weeks. that is the number, not -30% in c/tirzepatide · 35 points · 16 days ago
the 15mg is the top of the pen, not the required dose
Adding to this: GIP is doing more work than the comment implies.
