The Edible Forum is a space for respectful and meaningful discussions. Please be mindful of the rules so the forum stays a safe place for everyone.
1. Use Trigger Warnings
For topics that may be sensitive to other users, include TRIGGER WARNING in bold capital letters at the start of your post.
2. Post with Purpose
Your posts shape the community! Start and engage in discussions that are meaningful.
3. Be Respectful
Disagreements are only natural, but make sure to disagree with ideas and not people. Keep your posts thoughtful and constructive. Harassment, doxxing, hate speech, and offensive content will not be tolerated.
4. Flag Issues, Don’t Fuel Them
Help us help you by reporting any problematic behavior. Don’t engage, just flag. Moderators will review reports and take appropriate action.
5. No Medical Advice
Feel free to share your experiences or medical news, but don’t give or ask for medical advice. Leave medicine to the professionals.
6. No Pseudoscience
This forum operates on the principles of science. Discussions of unscientific treatments and therapies will be removed.
7. No Self-Promotion
You may not promote yourself or your business on the forum. You are welcome to add social media links in your profile, but the forum is not a marketing channel.
8. No Conducting Surveys or Testing Apps
You may not use this forum to conduct surveys or test applications.
9. Keep Things Organized
Help reduce digital clutter by:
- Reading the category descriptions to make sure your post is in the right place
- Using the Like button instead of just replying “+1” or “Agreed"
- Checking to see if your questions have been answered in different threads before posting
A tidy forum makes for better conversations.
10. Link to Original Sources
When sharing other people’s content, add a link to the original source. This gives credit where credit is due and allows others to vet the source for themselves.
11. We’re Here to Help
This forum is a joint effort between your friendly local staff and you, the community. If you have questions, open a topic in the site feedback category, message us privately, or visit our Help Center. We appreciate suggestions for improving everyone’s experience.
