Community Guidelines

DON'T

• Bully, body-shame, or drag anyone for where they're at in their journey. Everyone started somewhere.
• Pick apart someone's spelling, grammar, or English — that's not what this space is for.
• Pile on someone for posting something you've seen before or asking a basic question.
• Harass another user.

DON'T

• Make derogatory comments about someone's age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, weight, body type, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, race, ethnicity, nationality, immigration status, income, veteran status, or religion.
• Promote or joke around with stereotypes about any group.
• Post anything that incites hatred, bigotry, or physical harm toward a person or group including "jokes" that endorse violence.
• Mock, deny, or minimize someone's identity or lived experience.

DON'T

• Use slurs or language that's sexually explicit, graphic, or vulgar.
• Get creative with symbols or spacing to dodge the profanity filter — we'll still catch it, and trying to route around it is its own flag on your account.
• Use usernames or profile content that are themselves profane or explicit.

DON'T

• Promote extreme calorie restriction, crash diets, or disordered eating — even framed as a "tip" or "what worked for me."
• Post content that glamorizes extreme thinness or disordered eating behaviors (this includes thinspo-style content, "what I eat in a day" posts built around unsafe numbers, or dare-style challenges around lowest calories/longest fast).
• Give out medical or nutrition advice you're not qualified to give, or diagnose another member's situation. If a question sounds medical, point them to a doctor or registered dietitian instead of guessing.
• Glamorize or encourage self-harm in any way.

DON'T

• Post health or nutrition claims that aren't medically supported as if they're fact.
• Share manipulated or out-of-context content (screenshots, stats, "studies") intended to mislead.
• Spread false info about another member or group meant to stir up fear or hate.

DON'T

• Compare or promote other tracking apps here — let's keep it CalAI.
• Post spam, unsolicited DMs, or drop unrelated links and promo codes.
• Advertise or solicit for a program, coaching service, product, or survey — those posts get removed regardless of intent.
• Ask for donations or off-platform payment.

DON'T

• Post about politics, political figures, or political causes.
• Bring up religion (talking about food traditions tied to your culture or faith is totally fine).
• Start or pile onto arguments about hot-button topics unrelated to health and fitness.
• Troll, flame-bait, or feed people who are trying to start something.

DON'T

• Impersonate another member or CalAI staff.
• Catfish or mislead people about who you are.
• Create multiple accounts to get around a ban or to manipulate a conversation.

DON'T

• Share full names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, or social handles (your own or anyone else's).
• Post screenshots of DMs or private conversations without blocking out identifying info.
• Ask other members to hand over their personal contact info.

DON'T

• Post anything that breaks the law, including content that infringes someone's copyright, trademark, or other rights.
• Reference or promote illegal activity, including illegal substances or violence.
• Post content that targets or endangers minors.
• Post deceptive links — misleading descriptions, fake "source" labels, or anything designed to trick someone into clicking.
• Try to disrupt, exploit, or abuse CalAI's app or systems.
