Community Guidelines

What the community is for

The proofit community is a small, friendly place for home bakers. Share your bakes, ask for help when a loaf did not turn out, and help others with what you have learned. It is about bread, not about performance. Beginners are explicitly welcome, and every question is a good question.

Be kind

Treat everyone the way you would like to be treated at your own kitchen table. Give feedback that helps and stays respectful. Disagreement is fine, contempt is not. No harassment, no insults, no discrimination.

What is not allowed

Please do not post any of the following:

• Nudity, sexual, or otherwise explicit content.
• Hate speech, threats, harassment, or content that glorifies violence.
• Spam, repetitive posts, or off-topic content.
• Advertising, affiliate links, or promotion of products and services. Mentioning what flour or oven you use is fine; selling is not.
• Personal data of others (names, addresses, phone numbers, photos of people who did not agree) and no personal contact details of your own that you would not want public.
• Dangerous advice, for example about food safety, presented as fact.

Photos and content must be yours

Only upload photos and texts that you took or wrote yourself, or that you are allowed to share. Photos from books, websites, courses, or videos are not yours to post, not even as the picture for a recipe. Do not upload photos of other people without their consent. By posting, you allow other members to see your content within the app.

Other people's recipes, books, and copyright

You may share ingredients, amounts, and the steps of a recipe. What you may not share is someone else's wording: recipe texts, explanations, and tips from books, blogs, courses, or videos do not belong in a post one to one. Write them in your own words.

Name the source the way the app asks for it: a book with author and title, a website, a handwritten note, a course. The source you enter is shown publicly with your post and stays in the recipe snapshot, so whoever saves your recipe carries the source along.

proofit does not check content for the rights of others. You are responsible for what you share.

Reporting and blocking

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, report it via the menu on the post or reply. Reported content is hidden for you immediately. You can also block a member; you will no longer see each other's content. Reports are confidential.

Reporting an infringement

If you are a member and see content that copies someone else's recipe text, photo, or other work, report the post or reply via its menu and pick the reason "Copyright or someone else's content".

If you hold the rights to a work and find it in the community, you do not need an account. Write to proofit.feedback@proton.me and include the link to the post, the work concerned (book with author and title, course, or URL), and a short note on why you are entitled to it.

Every report is reviewed within 24 hours. If the infringement is confirmed, the content is removed and its author is informed with the reason. Appeals go to the same address.

How moderation works

New posts and replies are checked automatically before they go live. Content that is flagged, or that is reported by several members, is hidden until it has been reviewed. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours. Depending on the severity, content can be approved, hidden, or removed with a reason shown to the author. Repeated or serious violations lead to a ban from the community.

Consequences

Hidden content is not visible to others. Removed content is gone for good, and the author sees the reason. Banned accounts can still use the rest of proofit but can no longer post, reply, or react in the community.

Questions and appeals

If you think a decision was wrong or you have a question about these guidelines, write to proofit.feedback@proton.me.
