1. We (moderators/admins) don't have and will never have (probably) a Hive research laboratorium which only dedication would be to check and recheck ALL chemistry posts in a lab.
We also obviously don't have the time personally to perform ALL reactions and posted methods around here, so we can only assist theoretically or in a few cases practically based on personal experience in rating the credibility of posts.
The rating system is implemented just a few months now, and NOBODY up till now from us Moderators has found it possible to rate older posts AFTER the rating started, because implementing our rating window in old posts would prolly wreck the whole board( or not, Admins?)
In most cases you can count however on the credibility of most methods IF they are rated or appear on Rhodiums site. And STILL there could be major(seldom) or minor(often!) flaws in it. We have NO Pfizer research labs with millions of research money at hand!
2. The same goes for Rhodiums site, just as obvious. As anyone with a birdbrain can see, the huge amount of articles in there would even make it impossible for a well equiped University lab to check/perform all articles there.
""How easy would it be to fix that dmf/o2 wacker post on Rhodium?""
He only changes info in articles after a few credible sources or himself(very unlikely btw) have confirmed a blatent fault in it, or even confirm that the whole method is crap, which leads to deleting the method. He should leave a note then, with enough info on the proposed method, so that Searchers who find that crap still somewhere on this board or elsewhere, will be warned of the uncredibility of it.
Btw, he has removed proven crap methods several times (without public notification, I think).
The simple fact that somewhere between the thousands of posts some one mentions that you need elavated temps for the DMF/O2 wacker post on Rhodium means only one thing:
The ones interested in it out of theoretical or practical interest will find it automatically while they are reading ALL chemistry posts every day, or use their brain a bit better and do a quick selective Search EVERY fuckin day on the subjects they are interested in, using the right words or data or abbreviations.
Then ONLY the practicising ones will try it out.
YOU seem to be one of the very first ones trying it out and POSTING on it. How many will do the same, but will not POST their findings? Because we have a terrible bunch of egocentrically greedy oriented egotrippers around here, so we are all dependend on just the very few who take the RISK to POST their results.
That's the only one fuckin reason I still reply to you: posting your research, however still mixed with rude insults. You obviously think that the method you are working at now should have the full attention of ALL members plus the moderators, while you think it's the most important undergoing event on the planet these days. Let me tell you: all newsnetworks will differ in opinion with you on this. We also do, for the most part. Most members have their own little pearl of attention span at this very moment, and for them, the way you dress up your posts with unnescessairy comments, will give them the impression to deal with a selfish motherfucker who badly needs this board to get ANY result at all, but when his research ends up the VERY first time doing this method in a failure(normal procedure for most of us, FYInfo), starts spouting badmouthing to the very ones who have helped him in the very first place by collecting those methods in the Rhodium forum to use OR research and check further. It is NO guarantee at all that ANY method proposed there will work AT ALL, only AFTER you, the MEMBER, has repeated it to the letter and found out it does or doesn't work as proposed, perhaps and post your try-out. The bulk of them WILL work, btw.
Most moderators here around do read HUNDREDS of posts, sometimes ALL posts in ALL forums EVERY fuckin day, to keep up just THAT, the CREDIBILITY of this so important board for you all. We have tens of interesting RESEARCH posts to think about, every day, and try to answer them as good as we can, in many cases ending up in more workload, because the poster start PMing us, thus causing us double work. WORK means going to libraries, checking books and journals, PMing colleagues about it, talking to friends in real life, etc.
This is exactly the way SCIENCE works, post an article and WAIT for
more than one confirmation of the proposed method or thoughts.
3.
But what I do not appreciate is people posting misinformation on Rhodium, and all over The-Hive, including your posts. You said this is how things work around here. It sounds like words of a provocateur to me.
If you don't understand by now, how utterly pitty that last opinion sounds, you should apply for instant banning this moment.
Or be considered by others here as the real provocateur.
Rhodium brings posts from the Hive solely on his OWN site, no one else does, and takes every time the risk to be attacked by selfish ones like you, if some theoretical error slipped through his attention or a method is just not working in practice, in part or totally. Nobody on this board can check personally all the Rhodium.ws methods, or my posts, or any posts, period!
What we try to do is leading our members to try at least the best methods for UNDERGROUND cooks like you?, who should take the safests and cheapests routes to their endproducts, and then post their eventual failures so we can discuss all to solve his problem, or post their successes so we all will be more secured in our belief in that very method.
And ofcourse lots of wouldbe chemists, cooks and plain idiots will interfere with that discussion, it's all to the eye of the beholder to sift through these words.
4. Log files: just type those words in Search, you paranoid droid. The server is NOT US based! And logfiles are WIPED thoroughly, we only use them to get rid of nasty critters who we feel want to undermine the principle of this board :
FREE WISDOM for ALL. LT/
