Regular things are usually ok to share, such as non-harmful things or fun things that don't really harm people. Pretty much any of the recipes you can easily find online are assumed to be common knowledge so I wouldn't think it's a big deal to share those recipes.
But the ones that are more vague and confusing, or can cause serious harm or be exploited easily are supposed to be sort of an "in-crowd" type thing. I don't necessarily agree with this though, if you don't want the player base to know about a chemical than just don't have a make-able recipe for it.
I mean shit, I finally figured out boosters by shoving random shit into a watering can and seeing what gels. Later I was making some to test it and I got my ass chewed about even daring to know that recipe and who told me and how they couldn't fathom that I had made booster enzymes and how dare I make it where people could hear the reaction.
If it's too good or too strong for players to know about just don't have it available for them to make, dang. It's ridiculous you can get banned for telling people a recipe. You mean no harm and they want to know - there isn't a way in hell that some Joe Shmoe is going to figure out how to make some of the more complex things just by pulling things out of his ass. And you're all lying if you say you haven't had help with at least a few recipes in your time playing. Honestly the only ones I've legit figured out by myself is boosters and itching powder, and I've been playing for two years.
