Information on RC's is scarce and inconsistent, we all know that. Yes, there are these forums, but that isn't the most elegant way of getting information and a lot of youngsters (like myself) stop their search after reading dosage information from a single post, which can be dangerous*. Obviously there is Erowid, but that's not always reliable.
So now I'm proposing RCreport.com, or whatever a clever name you guys can come up with. The idea behind it is that there is this simple, and fast to fill out form** for adding information of a substance, and then data like dosage, duration, effects is gathered from that. This is then presented on a profile page for the substance, with averages from the gathered data (and pretty graphs!). All fully anonymous of course.
There should also be a (heavily moderated?) knowledge base full of harm reduction. Proper information on handling (i.e volumetric metering calculator, how to lay blotters), what to do if things go bad, etc. Also, learning grounds into chemistry, pharmacology. Letting people know how their drugs exactly work.
Obviously there wouldn't be any vendor talk, but I think there should be a list of vendors that are known to be sending out the wrong substances, nothing at all, whatever. The ones that you should NOT get your stuff from.
Now, there is but one problem in this lovely idea, and that is me not having any (web) development experience (well, that's exaggerating, I can make a geocities-page). Which is why I'm here. I think a lot of the actual work has already been done by open-source Wiki and Enquete efforts, but that doesn't mean we have a working website just yet! I, myself could help with initial hosting costs, refinement of the idea (with YOUR help, obviously) and maybe I could do some design work, though others might be better at it. I want this to be a community effort, which means this will be open-source on all fronts.
I hope this gains traction, as we really need to make the world of RC's a safer and therefore better place.

*On another forum's thread on NBOMes there was this guy claiming that dosing in the microgram range was "not enough", and that you should start doing 16Mg, because that's where the "real action" is. This could be his form of humour, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the seizures came from that very suggestion...
** For example:
Substance:______
Dosage:______ (What you feel to be a) Safe Dosage from ____ to _____
Duration: _____ Shulgin scale: ______
Effects: [choose from a list of effects, i.e tracers, morphing, stimulation, vaconstriction, ego death, ecstasy]
etc. Just anything with relevance to usage safety.
EDIT: A big WHOOPS, just saw an idea like this in another thread, which this would perfectly complement. But no, this is NOT Erowid, this is more like Erowid in a Web 3.0 format
