1. Be respectful and helpful. No harassment, spam, dangerous challenges, medical claims, or undisclosed promotions.
2. Identify the source of home-canning advice whenever possible.
3. Never present an untested process as proven safe. Clearly label personal experience and unverified methods.
4. Include the food, jar size, processing method, processing time, altitude, and recipe source in safety questions.
5. Do not encourage tasting food from a jar that is leaking, unsealed, spurting, swollen, moldy, foul-smelling, or otherwise suspicious.
6. Community posts are not automatically safety-tested. When in doubt, follow USDA, NCHFP, or university-extension guidance.
7. Protect your privacy and do not post personal or confidential information.
