For one it was not back lash it was my opinion from years of experience being a member and the former moderator here.
Its not that its not good for business. The advanced products are for testing by forum members as explained in the store and numerous other places in the forum. Here are just a few referances.

Testing is more accurate when you dont have preconceived notions as to what the molecule does. It is a bit of a task and confusing to look it up in the forum, read everything and figure out the pattern but that very fact makes for more accurate reports on products and in turn more effective mixes for the consumers to use. I have a spread sheet for every molecule here thats a mile long from my own research and the reports from other experienced members but I dont post it because I know it will influence the reporting and in the long run make for crappy mixes. My friends and I spend money on these products because they are excellent so you can understand my wanting to maintain the accuracy as close as possible in a forum test environment.
I also understand where your coming from as well. You pay more for the products then I do if your not on the reporting members list and you would like to know what they do before investing. There is no solution other then going back to not allowing newbies to buy them like it used to be that I can think of.
You do realize that all you have to do is go to the top right hand side of the screen and hit advanced search then type in P102. Choose posts or threads. I pick threads myself because you can usually see by the title of the thread if its a report or not and it will list all the reports on that putative. Its takes about 10 to 15 minutes once you get used to it not hours.
Even better once you know who the advanced users and testers are you can search out posts just by that person and molecule in the advanced section. This way your getting information for the experienced users.
This way you can see other factors such as the users gender and age, the environment they used it in. How they used it and other important factors that indicate what effect the molecule is having.
Again its not backlash, you can do what you want I am just giving you my opinion on it. If I had never done the research to begin with and just went by others spreadsheets with limited info I wouldn’t be a pheromone expert. Frankly I am greatful to every member who has taken the time to test and report correctly. If they hadnt the products would not be as good as they are.
