Red flag: guaranteed size or performance outcomes in days, usually tied to a product cart. Real training has variance, deloads, and plateaus.
Red flag: peers diagnosing ED or injury from a photo and prescribing protocols. That belongs with a clinician.
Red flag: pressure to ignore pain, skip recovery, or prove toughness in public. Safety systems enable intensity; ego contests end careers.
Red flag: outing handles, non-consensual media, or coercion in DMs. Report immediately; retaliation against reporters is a ban-level offense here.
Green flag: education first, moderated rooms, age gates, clear 'not medical advice' framing, and paid tiers only for advanced work after trust.
