1) Pretty much anything can be posted, brought up, and discussed - as long as it's about chocolate.

2) If you own a chocolate business you may promote it on your My Page after becoming a member. I request that you not create a new Forum thread or Blog post whose main purpose can be perceived to promote your business without first seeking permission.

3) Sharing is the key part of what an online community like The Chocolate Life is all about. To see your blog and forum posts appear on the Main Page, and in the "Latest Activity" list (also on the main page), update your privacy settings on your "My Page."

4) If you find yourself engaged in extended (private) discussions with other members consider using private messages instead of comments.

5) RESPECT other members: Flaming of any sort is not appropriate.

There are several Forum topics covering issues that really aren't managed well by Forums. Following are links to database applications created to make managing this information easier and more usable. All Chocolate Life members are invited - encouraged - to contribute to this shared community resource.
