Content Moderation Policy

1. Our Commitment

Recidex is a community built around sharing meals and recipes with the people you care about. We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful environment for all users. This policy explains what content is not allowed, how to report violations, and how we handle reports.

2. Prohibited Content

The following content is not allowed on Recidex:

• Spam — Automated, repetitive, or promotional content unrelated to recipes and cooking
• Harassment — Content that targets, threatens, or intimidates another user
• Hate speech — Content that promotes violence or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics
• Explicit or graphic content — Pornographic, excessively violent, or disturbing imagery
• Illegal content — Content that violates applicable laws, including content that promotes illegal drug use or recipes for controlled substances
• Impersonation — Pretending to be another person, brand, or organization
• Misinformation — Deliberately false health or safety claims about food that could cause harm
• Copyright infringement — Posting content you do not have the right to share

3. How to Report Content

If you see content that violates this policy, you can:

• Tap the Report button on any recipe, comment, or reaction
• Select a reason for your report (spam, inappropriate, harassment, or other)
• Optionally add details to help us understand the issue
• Email moderation@recidex.com for urgent concerns

Reports are confidential. The reported user will not know who filed the report.

4. Blocking Users

You can block any user from your profile or from their content. When you block a user:

• Their recipes, comments, and reactions are hidden from your view
• They cannot share recipes with you or interact with your content
• You can unblock them at any time

5. Enforcement

When we receive a report, our moderation team reviews it and may take the following actions:

• Content removal — The offending content is deleted
• Warning — The user receives a warning about the violation
• Temporary suspension — The user’s account is temporarily restricted
• Permanent ban — For severe or repeated violations, the account is permanently terminated

We aim to review all reports within 24 hours. Enforcement actions are proportional to the severity and frequency of violations.

6. Appeals

If you believe an enforcement action was taken in error, you can appeal by emailing moderation@recidex.com with your account details and an explanation. We will review your appeal and respond within 48 hours.
