The Fooducate Community is available in our Fooducate apps.
What are Fooducate's Community Guidelines?
The Fooducate community provides its members with advice, support, motivation, and fun. To participate, you must be a registered user and logged in. The Community sets the tone based on common interests and goals around food, health, and weight loss - sprinkled with humor and love. It is all about positivity.
In order to maintain the community spirit, please abide by the following guidelines:
-
Age limit - this app is intended for use by adults aged 18 and up.
-
Scope - this community's focus is around food and diet, not eating disorders or mental health issues. If you are suffering from an eating or other mental disorder, this app will not help you and we recommend seeking professional help. If you believe another community member is engaging in unhealthy or dangerous, please let us know by emailing support (link to contact page).
-
No profanity - this app does not allow language that is obscene or crude, including swear words or expletives
-
No nudity - this app does not allow any content that depicts nudity, pornography, or is sexually gratifying in any way. We understand that our community members would like to share progress pictures of themselves during their weight loss journey, however we ask that members respect our strict no nudity policy. In compliance with both Apple and Google app store policies for inappropriate content, please review their policies here to ensure your posts are not removed: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/ https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9878810
-
No selling or marketing - If you've come here to pitch herba-plus, juice-life, your miracle fat burning diet, or a bridge in Brooklyn, your post will be deleted and you will be banned from the community.
-
Respectful chats - the chat feature to enable people to take a community conversation offline and have a meaningful one on one discussions. The Fooducate chat is not a place to ask somebody for nude pics or to make lewd propositions. There are plenty of other apps for that.
-
No trolling or bullying - this app strictly forbids members engaging in harassment, bullying or threatening other users. If you feel that a member is harassing you please report them to support and block the user.
Fooducate has automated tools that delete inappropriate content. Additionally, users can use the "Report Post/Discussion" option that appears when tapping on the "..." text below each posting.
When our community team gets notified of a post that was flagged as inappropriate, it is reviewed and a decision is made whether to delete it or not. The team additionally reviews other posts by the member, and if need be, takes further action such as suspending that member's community privileges.
When it comes to chats, we respect the privacy of the individuals communicating with each other. If you are being bullied or treated through chat in a way that you feel is offensive, you can easily block that person by tapping on their profile picture and then the "..." which will offer to "Block" that user.
In addition, you can always reach out to us. If you have been threatened or otherwise ill-propositioned by another member of the community, please let us know and we will work to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
