Healthy Weight 4 Life Community Guideline
Healthy Weight 4 Life Community Guideline Community Standards and Guidelines (Applies to Chats & Forums)
We are all here to work towards achieving our goals and helping others to do the same. In order to create a supportive and positive environment, there are some guidelines we observe when posting on the boards. By making posts, you are agreeing to abide by the following standards:
- Respect everyone’s opinions. Even if you might not agree with someone, that doesn’t mean they are wrong or deserve to be belittled. Remember that what works for you may not work for everyone else. Give everyone the same courtesy you would expect in return.
- No profanity or explicit content.
- No profile pictures that might be considered “inappropriate.”
- No posts that could be interpreted as threatening or harassing.
- No advertising or product promotion is permitted.
- No links that solicit for donations, advertise a product, or promote a direct competitor’s website are allowed in Forum posts.
- Healthy Weight 4 Life has the right to remove a post if it does not meet these standards.
- You have the right to edit any of your posts. Understand that posts made by members do not necessarily reflect the views of Healthy Weight 4 Life facilitators and should not be taken as medical advice.
- Posts submitted to the Healthy Weight 4 Life Forum are not considered confidential. These posts may be used by Healthy Weight 4 Life participants for any purpose without requiring permission from the originator.
- The Forum on the Healthy Weight 4 Life website will contain information that can be posted and viewed by anyone participating in this program. Please keep tthis in mind when sharing personal information on the site.
- All Healthy Weight 4 Life nutrition advice has been approved by a Nutritionist. Because of this, please be careful about what you recommend to others, as it could be dangerous if you go outside of medically-accepted boundaries. We encourage members to help each other using the Healthy Weight 4 Life recommendations.
On the lighter side….the Healthy Weight 4 Life team would like for our community to become a supportive and motivational tool for many. Here are some ways you can help us do that:
- Be positive and encouraging at every opportunity.
- Do everything you can to make others feel welcome.
- Keep an open mind as others talk about their beliefs, goals, and opinions - you might learn something!
- Give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they are trying to help and have good intentions.
- Tough love can be a helpful kick in the pants, but “tough” doesn’t translate to “mean.”
- Welcome all types of personalities and encourage people to be themselves.
Healthy Weight 4 Life reserves the right to terminate forum or chat participation or membership for failure to comply, or for any other reason we see fit. If you see a post that violates these Standards and Guidelines or have any questions, please contact bonnie@healthyweight4life.net.
Thank you for your help and cooperation!
