It has come to my attention that recently user posts are deleted for nootropic vendor recommendation. It is a reasonable policy when vendors are using astroturfing or spamming however I've been asked dozens of times in comments and in private about the vendor or brand of the product I reviewed. It is unacceptable and very damaging to this community that it is allowed to mention nootropicsdepot, newmind and science.bio as well as big brands like now, swanson and jarrows while it is prohibited to recommend pglchem. And while I neither can assure the quality of his products nor I recommend the use of his shop, he is synthesizing some interesting compounds . One such compound is of particular importance to me, given my personal experience with certain nootropic derivatives of it like ones sold by newmind. I've been posting for years what I hope is valuable content including some rare scientific sources like this one stating that pemoline is more anti amnesic than stimulants in the screenshot, or even prl-8-53 which is touted by this sub as the ultimate memory enhancer. Also moderators should state sort of conflict of interests in…

Just remember that negative signals are amplified by social media.
For every angry conspiracy theorist there's 10 happy customers who don't see the need to say anything, maybe more.
It sounds like your efforts to maintain impartiality are only making these accusations even more stressful for you. It's also basically gaslighting--people directly arguing against your perceived reality. I'd imagine you've had moments where you wondered if maybe you are biased like people say.
Obviously I'm in a completely different situation from you, but wrestling with pigs leaves you covered in mud. If this modding controversy is in no way your doing then I would say; wash your hands of it and be at peace. If you thought there was some way of avoiding all controversy, I can assure you that's impossible. You are the nootfather and they'll always pull you back in. Better to stop worrying and love the fickle nature of humanity.
If it's any consolation, your Bacognize is changing my mother's life. Her meds stopped working after getting the Pfizer vaccine and for awhile nothing could stabilize her. The Bacopa has been a godsend and after finally seeing a psychiatrist he has seen no issue with her taking it.
The Pfizer also seems to have awakened dormant rheumatoid arthritis and other serious autoimmune issues. I've ordered your beta caryophyllene product in the hopes that it will help. Appare…

Trust me, I have ignored it as much as I possibly can for a long time. However, if I don't step in to try and squash the lies and propaganda, it just spirals out of control. Then normal honest people get pulled into the lies, and it spreads like a cancer. Of course our competitors fan the flames when things happen to stick the knife in more, so it keeps spreading and getting worse.
Like it or not, I have done more for the nootropics community and the industry than any other person out there. People can argue about that and say I am arrogant all they want, but it is the truth. We also run one of the most respected and successful nootropics companies in history. I have made getting your order 2 days after you place it the norm, every single time. I have completely changed the expectations of the community regarding quality control, trust, openness, and honesty. I have pushed this whole space forward every day with my efforts, and the efforts of my large team behind me now. I have called out many shitty companies, and opened people's eyes to the reality of the BS happening in the background. I have a long ways to go, but you remember the early days. It's night and day different today than it was then. I've done this all through hurdles and hardships. I have been threatened, attacked, stolen from, and disparaged more times that I can count. I have had to fight the government, banks, card processors, shady lawyers, and countless other entities that would love nothing more than for nootropics to just go away completely, or to just profit off everyone in it as much as they can. I've uncovered completely fake dry labs, and tried to get people to care about the validity and accuracy of the lab testing they are relying on. It's been one fight after the other... Yet I am still here, helping the people I can, responding to everyone that I possibly can, trying to keep this community and industry moving in a positive direction. I don't think people truly realize how rare that is. I really don't need the money anymore. That ship has sailed long ago. I keep coming here because I care about this community. I care about this industry. I care about making it all better and safer for everyone. I also really do care about people getting taken advantage of with false, inaccurate, and fraudulent claims and data. It's RAMPANT still! It is played off as me just spreading fear and lies to sell more product, but I really couldn't care less who they buy from. I just hate companies lying to people. It is just one of those things I can't let go of, which is why I keep getting involved. I don't think companies should be selling products to consumers till they have proven what they are selling is what they claim it to be. If you can't yet prove it to a high enough scientific level, don't sell it till you can. It's that simple. That cuts into a lot of competitor's profits, though. So I am painted out to be this bad guy, when I really am trying to look out for everyone's best interest here.
