Lack of organization..

[Commander]

So I am going to put it out there. The way this board is set up is very confusing. There are categories and sub categories. Both can be posted in. It seems people don’t realize that you can post in the main category, everyone posts in sub categories. But what if the post relates to multiple sub categories?
I know this board is new, but it would be helpful if it was organized better. Realistically there is mo need for this many sub categories. Especially under the vendors. You literally have to go through each vendor separately to read the reviews, that is a lot of back and forth. It would be way more helpful it it was just one vendor review category and then you would see all the vendor reviews in one place.
I like that there is a peptide board like this, but it is to cut cup and time consuming to navigate. Most people are missing a lot of information.
Maybe instead of sub categories, there could just be tags. So under vendors, someone could post someone just put a tag of “Puratek” and it would be easy for someone to search.
There is a category “Peptide Categories” with sub categories like healing and recovery and then a skin and anti aging. But what about KLOW, doesn’t that span both?
Some times to many choices make landing in the right place hard…
Just my $0.02 because I am having a very hard time figuring out where to post stuff.

So this is an example, should I have posted this in the main category, that had not one post in it, or in a sub category that this post really doesn’t pertain too…

You're not wrong. Adjustments are coming!

Thank you!

These are good ideas! As a UX tester, these are some of the things I look for. It promotes higher user engagement
and positive experience.

The openness, allowing one to express their opinions, popular or not, ideas, asking questions and not getting any backlash because you asked one that has been asked before(Reddit is a good example), or getting your post deleted because a mod doesn't agree with your opinion etc Discussing vendors, experiences with them and so on, is a huge bonus with this forum in my eyes. Most don't allow it(at least the ones I've visited).

I think peptide critic has a great thing going here and will only continue to grow.

I saw your cross post, Randy has plans

@WisGal64 yeah, that whole ‘banning people who talk about things that aren’t you or your product’ is common and annoying in this space.

One gets the sense that the only reason most creators even have a platform is to sell product.

It’s no different than any other computer operating system. You can save something to the main folder or you can make a sub folder to save under.

True btw, did you start ARA research?
