Asked about four times a month, so here it is in one place. All four sorts are pure functions of score, up/down split and timestamp. There is no personalisation, no…

The site talking about itself. Rules, moderation, ranking, wiki.

proposal: auto-flair any vendor post with no batch number. Short post, long comment section, probably. A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is…
c/labresults now requires the standard template. This affects how posts get sorted and removed, so it belongs in the open. Complained about a rule without proposing…
The title is the whole question — are the c/vendorvetting evidence rules too strict (no) — but here is why I am asking. The ranking functions are published: the hot…
PeptideMeter — community peptide analytics
Vendor-level purity averages over time, built from independent results rather than vendor claims. Transparent methodology, open dataset.
Browse resultswhy we removed your post and why we will say so publicly. Disagreement welcome, but bring a concrete alternative wording. Read the ranking formula out of scepticism and…
sponsor disclosure, in full, again, because someone asked, and here is what changes in practice if it goes ahead. Checked the sponsor disclosure because I assumed it…
how the ranking actually works, with the formula. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Moderation of individual cases happens in modmail…
Genuine question, and the title is the question: should c/progresspics stay text-only forever (yes). The evidence standard on the vendor boards requires a document, a…
the modmail-first policy and why it exists. Disagreement welcome, but bring a concrete alternative wording. How a rule actually changes here, since people assume it is…
wiki rewrite finished — 22 community wikis live, and here is what changes in practice if it goes ahead. The evidence standard on the vendor boards requires a document,…
Putting this to the board: we crossed 800k members and nothing about the rules changes. What the ranking does, in case you assume it is hiding something. The hot…
no referral links. not once. not ever. permanent. This affects how posts get sorted and removed, so it belongs in the open. Complained about a rule without proposing…
the archive-after-a-year policy: keep, change, or scrap — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. What the ranking does, in case you assume it is…
Thinking out loud about this: we are measuring moderation at the wrong time and calling it noise. Funding and links, in full, because the question deserves a straight…
The title is the argument: the ranking question that gets asked weekly, answered properly. Here is the rest of it. A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording…
Sigma-Aldrich — certified reference materials
Reference standards, analytical reagents and system-suitability material. If you are running your own method, start with a known.
Reference standardsmeta — what am I missing here. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post. Complained about a rule without proposing anything and…
unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about rules are guesswork — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Submissions older than a year are…
moderation is the most under-discussed thing on this board. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Proposed a rule change here with…
The title is the whole question — how do you actually verify disclosure — but here is why I am asking. A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is…
the wiki advice in here is 3 years out of date. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. 3 years. Those are measured, not estimated, and not…
genuine question about moderation that I am slightly embarrassed to ask, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Read the…
Trying to get a straight answer on this: how do you actually verify moderation. Argued against the strict evidence rule for a year. Then read a supplier thread on…
does wiki actually matter or is it forum lore at this point — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. Sorted by controversial for a week and…
Something I keep coming back to: three years of rules threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. Checked the sponsor disclosure because I assumed it would be…
the moderation rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Funding and links, in full,…
