Community guidelines

DadTheFoodie community comments and food photographs help members share how recipes turned out at home. Please keep contributions welcoming, food-focused, and safe for everyone.

Keep it about food

  • Share how the recipe worked for you, helpful tips, or serving ideas.
  • Upload food photographs only — not unrelated images.
  • Do not use comments for advertising, spam, or off-topic promotion.

Be respectful

  • Treat other members with courtesy.
  • No harassment, hate, bullying, or abusive language.
  • Do not post personal contact information about yourself or others.

Food safety and sensible advice

  • Do not encourage unsafe cooking, storage, or food-handling practices.
  • Remember that members may have different allergens, diets, and equipment.

Photographs you upload

  • Upload only photographs you own or have permission to share.
  • Do not upload copyrighted images copied from other websites.
  • Avoid photographs that include children or unrelated people where possible.
  • All comments and photographs are reviewed before appearing publicly.

Recipe requests

  • Requests must relate to food and recipes.
  • No abusive, offensive, or inappropriate language.
  • Do not include personal contact information.
  • No advertising, spam, or off-topic promotion.
  • Do not include medical details or ask for medical advice.
  • Allergy-related requests cannot guarantee a recipe will be safe for you or anyone else — always check ingredients and labels yourself.
  • Requests may be edited, combined with similar requests, rejected, or removed by administrators.

Moderation and reports

  • Content may be approved, rejected, hidden, or removed.
  • Members can report comments that break these guidelines.
  • Accounts may lose community-posting access if guidelines are repeatedly broken.
