Community Guidelines
Chef Copi is a place to cook and share food you love. These guidelines apply to everything you share with other people — public cookbooks, shared recipes and cookbooks, photos, comments, ratings, and your profile. They exist so that everything you find here is about food, not about anything you need to brace yourself for.
1. Shared content is checked
Before a recipe or cookbook reaches another person, Chef Copi checks its text and photos. If you edit something that is currently shared, the changed content is checked again as part of saving it. Comments on shared content are checked when you post them. Content that does not pass cannot be shared — it stays private to you.
Content that has already been shared may be re-reviewed at any time, including when it is edited or when someone reports it.
2. What is not allowed in shared content
- Sexually explicit material.
- Hateful content or symbols targeting people for who they are.
- Harassment or content targeting a private individual.
- Gratuitous violence or gore unrelated to preparing food.
- Encouragement of self-harm, including eating-disorder promotion.
- Instructions for weapons, poisons, or illegal drugs presented as such. (Cooking techniques, alcohol in recipes, hunting and game, butchery, and anatomical cuts of meat are all fine — this is a cooking app.)
- Anything unlawful, and spam, scams, or misleading links.
3. Reporting and blocking
If you see content that breaks these rules, report it from the app — every public cookbook and comment has a report option. Reporting objectionable content hides it for you immediately, and our team reviews reports promptly and acts on objectionable content as quickly as we can. Reports are confidential: the content owner is never told who reported it.
You can also block any user. Blocking is mutual invisibility — you will not see each other’s shared content, comments, or public cookbooks, and neither of you can share with the other. You can undo a block anytime from Settings.
4. What happens when rules are broken
Depending on severity, we may hide the content while it is reviewed, remove it, or — for serious or repeated violations — suspend or close the account. Images that are unlawful to host are deleted immediately. When we act on your content, we email you and show the status in the app.
If you believe a check or a review decision was a mistake, you can request a review from the app (“Request review”) and we’ll take another look.
