Commenting and Review Guidelines

Last updated: February 2, 2025

As the author of FoodIME Kitchen, I value reader engagement. These guidelines aim to maintain a friendly and valuable culinary discussion.

General Rules

I expect substantive discussions and constructive opinions while maintaining mutual respect. I do not accept hate speech, profanity, spam, or advertising content. I remove personal attacks, misleading information, and harmful content. I ensure the protection of personal data of discussion participants.

Comments and Reviews

I encourage you to share your experiences with recipe execution, including:

  • describing results and modifications
  • asking questions about ingredients and methods
  • sharing culinary tips
  • showing photos of prepared dishes
  • providing constructive criticism

When reviewing recipes, please comment only on dishes you have actually prepared. It’s worth mentioning any changes made, differences in preparation time, and adding tips for others.

Moderation

I moderate all comments within 24-48 hours. For complex issues, moderation time may be extended. I may edit comments to:

  • remove personal data
  • improve formatting and readability
  • remove inappropriate links
  • correct obvious errors

Photos

Published photos should:

  • show actually prepared dishes
  • be clear and well-lit
  • not contain watermarks or advertisements
  • be your own work or have the source credited

Regular readers who consistently participate in constructive discussions and share valuable reviews may receive automatic comment approval. However, individuals who violate the guidelines may have limited commenting capabilities.

Safety

For safety reasons, I remove:

  • suggestions for dangerous recipe modifications
  • unverified health information
  • risky ingredient substitutions
  • content promoting unsafe culinary practices

Cultural Aspects

I encourage:

  • respecting culinary traditions
  • acknowledging recipe origins
  • constructive discussion about adaptations
  • sharing knowledge about cuisines from different cultures

If in doubt, you can report content for moderation or contact me through the contact form. I allow up to 48 hours to review a report. When appealing moderation decisions, please:

  • present the details of the situation
  • explain your position
  • maintain a respectful discussion

I reserve the right to update these guidelines.
