WikiPeps exists because people deserve accurate, peer-tested information about how to handle peptides correctly. These guidelines protect that mission and the people who show up here in good faith. They apply equally everywhere we operate — Discord, Reddit, email threads, and any future spaces.
1. Be kind and peer-supportive
We are a community of people learning together. Many members are beginners. Many have been doing this for years. The gap between those two groups shrinks fastest when the experienced are generous, not gatekeeping.
Condescension, mockery, personal attacks, and dismissiveness are not tolerated. Disagreement is healthy; contempt is not. Critique the information, never the person.
If someone asks a question you think is obvious, remember that everyone — including you — had a first day. Answer well or don't answer. Telling someone to “search the archives” without context is rarely actually helpful.
2. Educational only — never medical advice
Nothing shared in this community constitutes medical advice, a clinical diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. This applies to every post, every DM, every field note, and every reply.
What this means in practice:
- You may share how you personally approached something, as a data point, clearly labeled as personal experience.
- You may discuss what published research says, with citations.
- You may not tell someone what dose they should take, whether a symptom is normal for them, or whether they should start or stop anything.
- You may not present your anecdote as broadly applicable advice without noting the significant individual variability involved.
We encourage members to work with knowledgeable, open-minded healthcare providers. This community is a supplement to that relationship, not a replacement for it.
3. Absolutely no sourcing, purchasing, or sales discussion
This is the firmest line we have. It does not move.
The following are prohibited, no exceptions:
- Asking where to buy or source peptides, in any form
- Recommending, naming, or linking to specific vendors or suppliers
- Reviewing or rating peptide suppliers or “sources”
- Sharing referral links, affiliate links, or discount codes for any substance
- Offering to sell, trade, or give away peptides or related substances
- Private messages asking for sourcing help — we will act on reports of this
Why? Because our credibility as an educational space depends on being completely untangled from the market. We don't sell peptides. We don't benefit from people buying them. That independence is worth protecting.
Violations of this rule result in immediate removal, no warnings.
4. Cite your sources
Factual claims should be backed by evidence. When you say “studies show X,” link to the study. PubMed abstracts, preprints, and peer-reviewed papers are all acceptable. Blog posts and YouTube videos are not primary sources — treat them as pointers, not proof.
Personal experience is valid and welcome here, but it must be labeled as such: “In my experience…” or “Anecdotally…” Presenting anecdote as established fact misleads beginners and erodes trust.
If you're not sure whether something is well-supported, say so. Intellectual honesty about uncertainty is one of this community's most valuable norms.
5. Respect member privacy
Do not share screenshots of private messages without explicit consent from all parties. Do not identify members by their real name, employer, location, or any other personally identifying information without their consent. Do not attempt to dox members or connect their community identity to their real-world identity.
Many members participate here because this space allows them to discuss sensitive health topics without linking that to their professional or public identity. Protect that.
6. No commercial promotion or self-promotion
This community is not a marketing channel. The following are not allowed:
- Promoting your own products, services, or content in community spaces without explicit moderator approval
- Repeated linking to your own blog, channel, or social accounts
- Paid promotions, sponsored posts, or undisclosed affiliate arrangements
- Brand accounts participating as if they were community members
Members who are also creators or writers are welcome here as people — just be a person, not a marketing operation.
7. This community is 18+ only
All participation in WikiPeps community spaces implies that you are at least 18 years of age. Content and conversations here deal with adult health topics that are not appropriate for minors. If we become aware that a member is under 18, their account will be removed.
8. No hype, no sensationalism
We are skeptics by default. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Posts framing peptides as miracle cures, effortless transformations, or universally safe compounds will be removed or corrected. The harm-reduction spirit of this community requires accurate risk communication alongside accurate benefit communication.
We welcome enthusiasm. We do not welcome hype that leaves people under-informed about real risks and variability.
Harm-Reduction Principles
These principles guide how we approach all educational content in this community:
- Meet people where they are. Someone who has already decided to use a peptide is better served by accurate safety information than by moral lectures. We provide the information.
- Acknowledge individual variability. Protocols, doses, and responses vary significantly between individuals. What works well for one person may not — or may actively harm — another. We say this often.
- Sterile technique matters. Injection-site infections, contaminated vials, and improper reconstitution are real risks. We take these seriously and educate about them directly.
- The label on a compound tells you almost nothing. Purity, actual concentration, and identity of research peptides are not guaranteed. We discuss this honestly rather than pretending otherwise.
- Long-term data is limited. Many peptides discussed here have limited long-term human safety data. We are transparent about what is and is not known.
Content Policy
What belongs here
- Peer-sourced field notes on handling, reconstitution, storage, and injection technique
- Questions about protocol mechanics (not medical recommendations)
- Summaries of published research with full citations
- Harm-reduction discussions about mitigating risks
- Corrections to misinformation, made respectfully and with citations
- Beginner questions — these are especially welcome, and experienced members are encouraged to answer them thoroughly
What doesn't belong here
- Vendor recommendations, sourcing requests, or purchase discussions
- Medical advice for specific individuals or conditions
- Unsourced miracle claims
- Political, religious, or off-topic discussions unrelated to peptide education
- Content that sexualizes, demeans, or targets other members
- Spam, scams, or impersonation
Moderation
The moderation team reviews reports, removes violating content, and applies consequences proportionate to the violation. Moderators act in good faith and without financial stake in any member's decisions.
Typical consequences:
- Minor first-time violations: content removed, private warning
- Repeated violations or moderate offenses: temporary suspension
- Sourcing discussions, serious harassment, doxing: immediate permanent removal
Appeals can be submitted via email to hello@wiki-peps.com. We review appeals seriously. Decisions on sourcing violations are final.
Moderators are community members, not professionals. They make judgment calls. If you believe a decision was wrong, raise it respectfully — aggressive appeals do not improve outcomes.
The Short Version
Be kind. Cite your sources. Don't give medical advice. Never discuss sourcing. Respect people's privacy. Remember we're all here to learn.
These guidelines were last reviewed in May 2026. WikiPeps reserves the right to update them at any time. Continued participation in community spaces constitutes acceptance of the current guidelines. All community activity is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. WikiPeps does not sell, source, or supply peptides.
