Community Ground Rules

[Penni]

Raw Food Rehab desires to be a safe place of compassion and support.  We have the expectation that each member will be respectful to one another in their communications and will acknowledge that everyone is at a different point along their health journey. We feel it is important for members to respect the individual progress and needs of others as they make lifestyle choices and changes of their own. 

Raw Food Rehab was NOT created to be a place of solicitation or marketing of individuals, their businesses, products, programs, websites or blogs. Anything that is posted as an unapproved solicitation will be removed from our community. 

BASIC COMMUNITY RULES: 

• Everyone is at a different point along their health journey and we are to respect the individual progress and needs of others as they make lifestyle choices and changes of their own.
• Everyone must do their best to keep this community drama free and keep their hands to themselves.
• Posting inappropriate material, such as profanity, personal attacks, nudity, inappropriate, questionable or suggestive material will likely be cause for suspension or removal from the community. We have a very diverse group of guests that range in age from 10 yrs. old to 85+ so one of our priorities is to keep Raw Food Rehab a family friendly site.

With Much Respect,

Penni Shelton

Founder & Director

Thank you for keeping us safe. I admit when I first became a member, I didnt understand the WHY of some of the rules, but after being here for a while, its so refreshing to NOT have to see some of that stuff that is on the other sights. Theres a reason why I stayed here and keep coming back for more! The amount of information here is so abundant, and I am a drama free girl, so I love not having it on here too. 

Although, Maybe one day we could offer up some room service? LOL.

And I have a vision of creating a special space that will be set apart just for networking and sharing our businesses, blogs, etc. There will plenty to keep me busy in 2012 : )

This is my favorite online community of all time...I completely understand why these rules exist and if I've ever been asked to remove something of mine, it was always something I thought twice about and I've never questioned why (oh oops, except one time now that I remember, but it's obviously forgotten and I totally get it :P ).  There is such a beautiful base of morality behind this community and I feel safe and planted here. :)  I am so grateful to be a part of community with such a balanced, wise, and knowledgable base of leadership with such high morals and values.  It's a really beautiful and rare jewel of a thing and I can't appreciate it enough.  Thankyou guys for all that you do.

I'm with Ayn.  The "No Drama" here in RFR is so refreshing.  I don't like confrontation and it's nice to know we can all agree to disagree sometimes.  I definitely feel safe here.

[Debbie Grezik]

We need more Caretakers like you Penni....and all those who help you in this like minded community, (Susan) etc. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful shining example you are.

Blessings, 

[Karen Cacciola]

Thank you Penni for this safe community.  It feels good to come into RFR without drama....I can get that anywhere.  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all....Happy Holidays

Penni, you continue to amaze me with your energy and devotion to this extraordinary health site and to all of us lucky peeps!  Wishing you every blessing and wonderful thing to come in 2012!! xoxoxoxo

[Crystal Woods]

Congratulations on finding a middle path between offering quality 'free' information and still making it something sustainable that feeds back what you deserve for all the time and energy you put into it.  I wholeheartedly agree with all of these rules, and look forward to seeing how RFR develops in 2012...

Penni - one of the things I love about RFR is the lack of the hustle.  It's a great place for people to connect with people and share their raw experience and support.

Thank you for clarifying this. I put my GettingRaw on my photos as a water mark so that if they are shared elsewhere I am given credit for the creative effort I put into it- which is pretty much standard on the web now for a soft copy write on photos. Is this allowed here if I leave the .com off? Just want to be sure.

[Penni]

if you want to add a GettingRaw watermark that's fine.  Because much love, time and effort has been put into making Raw Food Rehab what it is, we ask all our members to simply be respectful of the spirit of what we have created.  We don't post to other blogs or websites promoting RFR, so we very much appreciate that same professional courtesy.
