Propositioned by U2U
I am a new member, and have been recently propositioned to synthesize a material for another user.
It's not an illegal substance, but it strikes me as rather shady.
Does this happen a lot here?
Is there a reporting mechanism for this behavior?

The same thing just arrived in my inbox too.
This is very unusual, but it's a public forum, so anything can happen.
My view is that it's a wind-up : nobody in their right mind would ask an amateur to synthesise a drug.

Yay. A new fucktardery.
I ask that any such request from a person not previously well known to a member/verifiably a "real" person and ESPECIALLY for anything patented,
scheduled or in any way even remotely conceivable as inapropriate, a patent violation or otherwise illegal in a member's local be posted to this
thread.

2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

loststar0- His U2U is now turned off.
Please post THE FULL TEXT and headers of any such U2U, I am not able to look at your U2U messages in this system, and you probably do not want me to
be able to do so.

What use in a lab setting do you propose?
It might not itself be a controlled substance, but producing it for human trials would be in violation of a wide range of human testing regulations.
Indeed, it might easily be construed as practicing medicine without a license.
The synthesis route literature has already been posted, if you wish to try it, proceed from there.

So it's come up that hydroxynorketamine is an excellent and safe antidepressant.
It's a metabolite of ketamine.
Can you make me a trial amount, for use in a lab setting? I'm interested, for starters, of probably 50-100 mg.
Then a whole lot more if it helps.
I'm interested in doing it cheaply of course.
Thanks,
Robert Cayne

My response:
"You do realize it is not psychoactive, save for its possible use as an anti depressant? It won't get you high.
If you have untreated mental depression, I suggest a commercially available drug, prescribed for you by a real psychiatrist, and not something whipped
up for you by a stranger on a lab forum."

I don't think responding to this type of u2u's is worth anything. He's just a troll/spammer/idiot/.... With no actual interest in chemistry.

Yep, got the same U2U.
Interestingly, the US Government has put out a contract for the synthesis of hydoxynorketamine analogs:
https://govtribe.com/project/custom-syntheses-of-methylated-...
It's far beyond the reach of any amateur, however.

Damn ! I missed the chance.
Should have said "Sure. $20k. $10k non-refundable deposit then $10k on completion".
I'd not even know where to start, so no chance of completion

That proposal from the Gov. Might be why Mrmario has been asking about it, too. There appears to have been some reasonable discussion in his thread,
so maybe a simple reference to the thread would suffice?
I don't like the idea of capitalizing off the membership, here (unless some compensation or donation to the forum can be arranged), but these things
do occasionally lead to stimulating discussion. So, maybe let them (all who come seeking hydroxynorketamine) all work it out together, if they can?

Hnk55 and loststar0 are banned from posting and U2U.
If any similar activities occur, please report, forward a complete copy or screen shot if it is done via U2U.

How much more effectively banned can they get. Yes, user accounts still exists in those names. But he/she/they can't DO anything under them, except
read the forum.
It is possible that this is a person who should REALLY be talking with student health services, rather than trying to arrange for self medication. And
who knows. Perhaps after getting back on an even keel? Could even get un banned.
Or it could be one of our more perverse and nihilistic members having fun with a sock puppet account, that last batch of **** was so good they just
couldn't resist screwing around.
Or it could be some fuckstick in law enforcement, trolling for a stupid or greedy hobby chemist, trying to groom/manufacture a drug criminal for a
bust. USA law enforcement certainly has a loooooooong history of soliciting for activities like this, for everything from recreational drug
manufacture to terrorism and murder for hire. It is far safer and more predictable than actually FINDING an existing criminal or terrorist and getting
enough on them to get a conviction.
Regardless- They will need to make another account to continue annoying other members, same as if I erased their history.
So, anyone dumb enough to want to become a moderator and take over trying to parse this kind of activity?

Sadly, Bert, probably this (which is why I thought to isolate them to one group), "law enforcement, trolling for a stupid or greedy hobby chemist,
trying to groom/manufacture a drug criminal for a bust. USA law enforcement certainly has a loooooooong history of soliciting for activities like
this, for everything from recreational drug manufacture to terrorism and murder for hire."
