Majority of reviews are by new users who leave a review and promptly disappear
-
I'm new to researching peptides and have been trying to figure out where to buy from, so I've been looking at the vendors directory and the reviews here.
I noticed that the majority (not all) of the reviews are made by relatively new accounts that join, leave that one review, and then never engage in the community and disappear - they seem to never log in again after leaving the review.
Are these just reviews by the vendors themselves, or what's going on here?
TBH, it has eroded my trust in the reviews significantly seeing this pattern.
I've never seen this kind of engagement pattern elsewhere, so I'm bringing it up - maybe because I have trust issues on the internet.

I've started with single vials than went with nexaph and I think my final home will be from Crush Research, they seem to be highly respected in the space and even though its a bit more expensive than nexaph, the testing is more in depth and usually offer good deals with coupons.

The site started as a review site, then added the community, so roughly half of the current reviews were written before the community was really started. They appear in the community's reviews section for discussion.
There are also other ways people use the site right now 1000+ people a day log in, but only a handful ever post in the community. This is true for most communities; in our case, some people never leave the Main site and use features there, such as Tracking Tools, Reviews, Calculators, and the Price Index.

I've ordered from a ton of vendors and I've uploaded proof of orders, etc. I don't play brand loyalty, because I've learned and I'll quote Randy...."Vendors are good until they are not". That said I've had great experiences with Glacier, Ion, Crush, NGpeptide, Peptide Plugs (talked with owner directly), Peptide Supply Co (talked with owner directly) and less so with Mile High (I only ordered a single vial and it did nothing for me, but they shipped fast). Based on the above I try to mix things up, find best pricing and whats in stock. That's how I roll. You're up....

@Randy
I've never figured out how to use the Tracking Tool...@Stan-Douglas The tracker and dashboard are all based on the Favorite system. You pick your favorite vendors here https://peptidecritic.com/vendor-directory by clicking the heart icon in their card, and you can pick your favorite peptides here https://peptidecritic.com/peptide-price-index by clicking the heart icon; then they show up in your dashboard, and you can track prices, stock, and stackable coupons for your favorite vendors.

I am fairly new to this community as well, but have found it to be a wealth of information. @randy is absolutely correct that communities in general have far more "watchers" than participators. There are other bigger communities, and they too have a lot of information, but it still boils down to the vast majority never say anything, and just gleaning as much useful info as they can, and never say a word. I would just suggest looking through many of the past topics or reviews etc... and you will find useful information. I like to be active within any community, but I also want to make sure I'm adding something useful. I hope that you @volume-1 get the info your looking for, watch the YouTube videos, and become an active participant within the community as well.
Happy Researching,

I read this off your blog awhile ago and have completed the first two steps, it's finding the Dashboard tab that has me.
Someone else mentioned clicking on your profile pic on the top right but all I get is the option to click my handle which will let me see my commnet and post history, status, bookmarks... where is the dash board button? -
Here is my 2 cents and it really doesn’t mean anything…
Use the reviews as a starting point for your research - do not just order based off a review. I think a ton of vendors create accounts and leave reviews.
Instead use the reviews to ask questions about the vendors you are interested in. Odds are that someone that is active in this community has used that Vendor. If none of the active members hasn’t used them, you might want to consider starting with a vendor that has been used more often and people can give you insight on.
But….
If you are considering using a particular vendor for certain reasons eg. location (US Nased, UK Based, etc..), they have a product that no other vendor has that you want, the price of a particular product, etc.. put those reasons in when you are asking about that Vendor. Maybe there is a more vetted vendor that meets your needs or exceeds your needs that someone can suggest you look into. The common question “Is vendor xyz any good” doesn’t really help. Good can mean so many different things. It could mean 3 day delivery to one person, it could mean ability to pay with Venmo to another. Add the details…
Again just my 2 cents, it won’t even get you a coffee

there's a link to the dashboard on the bottom navigation on the main site it shows up after you login where the login button is if your not logged in.

@gym.rat Peptide Supply Co looks good actually, I was registered there but haven't looked at it in a while. Peptide Plugs to login don't even require a password. Interesting concept, so I seem to just need to know your email to log in as you.
Noticed that both of them are not in Vendor Directory.

@Randy btw, I can't add to favorites from peptide-price-index page. When I click on heart I get "Could not update favorites. Please try again." error. But I can go into the detail page and do it.
@vpeptides try now, just fixed a small bug that popped up on our last update.
