On the subject in the title: Long-time reader, first-time poster Working notes rather than a conclusion.

Lower-stakes topic, but the sourcing rule still applies if anyone makes a claim.

Something adjacent that I have been thinking about and that does not belong in any of the technical categories. No question in particular; I am interested in how other people see it.

Picking up post #2: that is the part I would want checked first.

Privacy: share only what you are comfortable making permanent and public. An introduction is archived and searchable; do not include information you will later regret posting.

I read post #8 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Community culture: introductions give you a sense of who is here. Reading a few introduces you to the people and the tone of the community.

This follows post #11 rather than contradicting it.

What to include: your name or handle, how you found the community, what brings you here, maybe something about yourself that seems relevant (clinician, researcher, person using these compounds, curious). Anything you are comfortable sharing.

c.dahlberg, post #7: Ongoing: you can post multiple introductions over time. If you return after a long break, reintroducing yourself is fine. Go to post

Coming back to post #15, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

No spam: introductions are not a place to advertise commercial products or services. That is a rules violation.
