+ 7 There's a mindset needed when writing a review:

You are either a member of eroids charged with keeping sources honest and providing nonbiased, quality reviews for other eroids members. Where other eroids members are your audience and fanbase. You are as a restaurant or movie critic; sources fear you and your power of the pen.
Or you're a fanboy, a shill for the source, a lacky hoping to get recognition and validation from a drug dealer.
So, which are you? Feared and respected critic, or fanboy puppy dog?

Me and Yoked had a discussion about this recently. He was glad I left an honest review of my experience. I know I haven't been on here much I've noticed a few sources get butthurt if you don't rate 5 stars and give honest feedback. Yeah we can all pick out the scammers and liars on both sides. But it keeps sources somewhat in check.
I got HGH from one source IGF LR3 from another and I’m running all the oils from another source. I wanted to know since they are all different types of peds if I can write a review for all three sources. These are all paid orders. Won’t be done with cycle til September.
You can write a review for each source as long as you follow the review guidelines (no reviews for orders over 6 months ago) and stay within the 8 max review count per calendar year.
Because these are all paid for orders, the reviews, whether you decide to write one, is at your discretion.
Also, don't let the sources pressure you into changing your review to all 5 stars if you didn't initially. Seems to be a very common theme unfortunately.
What actually happens if a source is caught doing this through PM?
I encourage anyone who gets such a PM copy and paste it to me. Sources will usually get a stern warning in the form of a naughty finger wag, for their first offence. Followed by anything from the removal of karma, a PSA posted on their SI page, a Warning header posted on their review and SI page, removal from the rankings, or even a temporary ban.
I don't know, maybe a naughty finger shaken at them. @Greg
This has been happening to me several times over the past year. It infuriates me. Greg just buttoned this right up, are you writing your review for the source or actually for potential customers and users of gear, providing safe, accurate & reliable information and feedback to those who need it. Top 10 sources on here are among the offenders, & to me - that’s dangerous. I have stopped using 3 separate sources for this behavior.
I haven't had it happen with any domestic sources but the international ones seem to be the most egregious with it, especially the higher ranked ones.
Agreed.
