Community Guidelines
"There is room for different stories at the same table."
Table 1072 exists because recipes fade, but memories don't have to. We are a community of families, cooks, and storytellers from around the world — each bringing something different to the table. These guidelines help us keep that table welcoming, safe, and worth passing down.
Be Kind and Respectful
Treat every member with warmth. Behind every recipe is a person, a memory, and a story that matters to them.
Honor Every Family's Story
Every family and culture may tell its story differently. What feels familiar to you may be new to someone else — and vice versa. Approach differences with curiosity, not judgment.
No Harassment or Bullying
Do not harass, bully, threaten, or target members. Disagreement is natural; cruelty is not welcome at this table.
No Hate Speech
Do not post hate speech of any kind — toward any race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender, orientation, or background. There is no seat for hate here.
No Dangerous Misinformation
Do not intentionally spread dangerous misinformation — especially about food safety, health, or allergens. When in doubt, say so honestly.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
Do not spam or repeatedly promote unrelated products or services. Sharing a product you genuinely love is wonderful; flooding the table with ads is not.
Respect Recipe Ownership
Respect recipe ownership and family stories. If a recipe belongs to someone else, credit them. Do not claim another person's work or family history as your own.
Protect Privacy
Do not post another person's private information — addresses, phone numbers, emails, or anything they haven't chosen to share publicly.
Keep It Family-Friendly
Keep content appropriate for a broad family community. If you wouldn't share it at a table with children and grandparents, it probably doesn't belong here.
Use the Report Feature
When something doesn't belong at the table, use the report feature. Our moderators review every report with care and discretion.
How Reporting Works
Every post, comment, and tradition on Table 1072 can be reported. When you report something, our moderation team reviews it carefully. We aim to act on every report within 24 hours. You can report anonymously, and your report is always confidential.
