Community Guidelines

Published: November 11, 2024 | Last updated: November 11, 2024

Welcome!

I'm thrilled to have you here and to ensure that our space remains positive and constructive, I have established a few community guidelines. Please take a moment to read through them:

Be Respectful

Kindness is key. I expect everyone to treat each other with respect.

  • Avoid name-calling, such as using terms like “idiot” or “loser.”
  • Refrain from personal attacks, focusing instead on the topic at hand.
  • Be open to differing opinions—express disagreement without belittling others.

Stay Relevant

I encourage engaging discussions, but please keep your comments related to the content.

  • If a blog post is about healthy eating, comments should pertain to that topic and not wander off to unrelated subjects like sports.
  • Avoid discussing your personal stories unless they directly relate to the post.
  • Don’t bring up completely different issues that could divert the conversation.

No Spam

Avoid posting duplicate comments or unrelated links.

  • Don't leave multiple comments promoting your own blog or business without context.
  • Avoid posting the same message repeatedly in a short period—this will be considered spam.
  • Refrain from sharing irrelevant promotional links that have nothing to do with the discussion.

Constructive Criticism Only

If you have feedback or suggestions, feel free to share them! However, please do so constructively.

  • Instead of saying, “This is boring,” you could say, “I think it would be more engaging if you added personal anecdotes.”
  • Rather than stating, “This information is wrong,” suggest the correct information with a source.
  • Instead of just pointing out a flaw, offer solutions such as “I believe adding visuals would enhance understanding.”

Protect Your Privacy

Your privacy matters. Please refrain from sharing personal information—both yours and others.

  • Do not post your phone number or address in the comments.
  • Avoid sharing email addresses or any other personal identifiers.
  • Be cautious about discussing sensitive personal matters or health information.

Report Concerns

If you notice any behavior that goes against these guidelines, please report it.

  • If you see hate speech targeted at individuals or groups, please report it immediately.
  • Alert me if someone is harassing another user in the comments section.
  • If you notice persistent disruptive behavior from a user, bring it to my attention.

Engagement is a Choice

While I welcome interaction, it's important to note that simply engaging with me doesn’t obligate me to respond, especially with disrespect.

  • Don't expect a response from me if you leave a rude or aggressive comment.
  • Comments that are meant to provoke or insult will receive no engagement.
  • I'm more likely to respond to thoughtful inquiries or respectful disagreements.

Zero Tolerance for Nonsense

I take my community’s atmosphere seriously. If you do not adhere to these guidelines, you will be blocked and banned.

  • Repeatedly disrespectful comments will result in immediate removal from the community.
  • You will be banned if you disregard warnings about spam or irrelevant content.
  • Any behavior that disrupts the community's positive atmosphere will not be tolerated.

By following these guidelines, we can create a welcoming environment for everyone. Thank you for being part of this community, and let's make it a great space together!
