The following rules have been established to help maintain a civil and friendly environment, allowing everyone to enjoy the discussions found here.
Please read this post completely in order to prevent any potential rules violations.
FORUM RULES
1) No advertising or self-promotion. You may not post advertisements for other services, websites, etc. which intend to sell products or services for monetary gain. Any such links will be removed at moderator discretion without warning and could result in your posting privileges being revoked.
2) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products, are considered inappropriate and will be removed without warning. This rule has been created to protect members from multi-level marketing schemes or other hidden sales tactics which are strictly prohibited on this site.
3) Posts or messages to members promoting websites that compete with MyFitnessPal are also prohibited.
4) Do not attack/slam/insult other users. The forums are here so that members can help support one another. Attacks or insults against each other takes away from the supportive atmosphere and will not be tolerated. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
5) Topics which are started with the intent to denigrate, belittle, or disparage another MyFitnessPal member, either directly named or through enough descriptive commentary to be possibly identified, are prohibited. Such topics will be instantly deleted and may result in the banning of the original poster. This includes following another poster around in the forums, posting about past events gone sour, divulging personal information, spreading gossip or rumors, posting email exchanges between users, etc. Keep the drama off the forums!
6) Do not post an email or mail message from any other MyFitnessPal user or moderator on the forums at any time.
7) No explicit, sexual, offensive, insulting or vulgar language. The MyFitnessPal forums are rated PG-13.
8) No derogatory or offensive references to sex, gender, ethnicity, religions, or sexual orientation.
9) For your safety, do not post personal information such as telephone numbers, emails, mailing addresses, instant messenger ids, etc
10) Do not post messages that violate federal, state/provincial, or local laws which include, but are not limited to, anything that violates a copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or is bound by NDA (non-disclosure agreement)
11) If you have concerns about another poster or wish to report a rule violation, the ONLY appropriate venue is to use the Report Post feature or to message me. You may NOT air such concerns on the message boards themselves. If you have a general concern that does not involve a specific member, you may post your question in a civil manner in the "Feedback" or "Help" forums.
12) We reserve the right to disable the posting privileges of any member for any reason at our discretion without warning or notice.
Thanks for your cooperation and I hope you are enjoying the site!
