We are a community that seeks to help people cook with creativity, happiness and self confidence. We believe that graciousness and courtesy are key elements of a beautiful sharing experience and therefore important elements of this conversation.

Our four rules for comments:

1. Be honest and fair, yet gracious.
2. No ad hominem attacks or gratuitous meanness.
3. Stay on topic.
4. Add value, don’t take it away.

Comments must reflect the subject under discussion. Do not use the comment threads purely to promote your own site, product, or business.

These rules are designed to be simple, easily understood to protect the many good intentions that are essential to a productive community. We ARE a community, and we all have to tend it, editors and readers alike.

If you don’t tend it, you are OUT. It’s that simple. Comments and commenters that do not follow these rules will be deleted and blocked from the site. We won’t tell you when you’re over the line, but you’ll know it because other comments will undoubtedly have told you, and they’ll probably have told us too.

Eat Well 101 is about helping people, and we work hard every day to carry out this mission. Please join us.

PS. We’re also happy to hear anything you want to say privately. Any comments, criticism, or concerns about the structure and policies of Eat Well 101 can be directed to the team of managing editors—not posted in public forums. This helps ensure that your feedback will be addressed promptly and correctly, and keeps comment threads on topic.

Comment Policy FAQ

Will I get a warning if I break the rules?
No. Our rules are simple and self-evident. You don’t need a message from a moderator to know when you break them. We may start, however, by deleting comments that break the rules, so if you notice multiple comments disappearing, it’s safe to assume that you are breaking the rules. Eventually you will be banned from the active community—unless, of course, you change your ways.

What does it mean to add value?
Share another viewpoint on the topic and be productive. Mention something you liked about the home or product under discussion. If you dislike it, say why, politely, and offer a helpful alternative. If you own something similar or made a similar choice in your home, tell us about it and perhaps share a link.

Who decides to delete a comment or ban someone?
Our community of managing editors. They spend each day deep in our sites, cultivating them and working to create a community of interesting things and helpful ideas. They know the culture of these sites better than anyone, and they are able to make judgments on whether a comment is helpful and practical criticism, or just petty attack. You may at times disagree with their judgment. That’s fine. This network has its own unique culture and community, and the editors are part of that.

I got banned! Can I get back in?
If you had a comment deleted or you were banned, you can appeal our decision by contacting us.

I don’t like someone’s comment. Can I complain about it?
First, check to see if you just disagree with their opinion. We want to encourage fair discussion and exchange, so if you just don’t like someone else’s opinion, that’s not a good enough reason to complain. If they were mean, rude, off-topic, spamming, or doing something else that breaks our comment rules, you can notify by contacting us.
