Inspire Positive Connection – Community Guidelines
Welcome to TB Food Corner — your home for celebrating the flavorful side of life. Whether you’re here tooling around for a clever kitchen hack, deep-diving into global cuisines, or simply looking to swap a good story over a great dish, you’re part of something savory and special. These community guidelines are our seasonings — the simple elements that help keep this space respectful, supportive, and full of creative flavor.
Built by the ever-curious spirit of our founder, Othric Quenvale, TB Food Corner is lovingly nestled in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania — a town as generous in hospitality as it is with second servings. From our HQ at 4757 Saint James Drive, we cook up conversation, trade culinary wisdom, and share resources to help you explore food cultures the world over. All while keeping one important mission on the table: inspire positive connection, through delicious ideas and delightful exchanges.
Welcome to the Table
Our community is built like a well-balanced dish — respectful, intentional, and open to new ingredients. Whether you’re just learning how to hard-boil an egg or can deglaze a pan with your eyes closed, you’re invited to pull up a chair. Think of this corner of the internet like a generous Sunday supper: everyone pitches in, shares freely, and leaves a little fuller than when they arrived.
As you browse, comment, ask, and create, we simply ask that you follow these light but meaningful guidelines — kind of like a recipe for healthy online engagement.
Our Community Values: Flavored with Purpose
Just like any good feast, our community thrives on a few grounding values. Add these to your interaction toolkit and you’ll help the whole table shine brighter:
- Respect: Every voice counts — starters, chefs, and food-curious alike. Offer your ideas warmly, and listen like you’re learning a new family recipe.
- Kindness: Be generous with your words. If feedback is on the menu, serve it with grace and gratitude.
- Curiosity: Ask questions! Nobody here has it all figured out, and we love new perspectives, flavors, and ideas.
- Integrity: Give credit where it’s due — recipes, stories, tips, or photos. A link or mention goes a long way in saying “thank you.”
- Inclusion: Pull everyone into the conversation. Food is the one place where everyone’s story belongs at the table.
Mix all of the above carefully, add a dash of humor, and stir slowly. That’s how strong communities are made.
How We Stir the Pot (Gently, Together)
Interacting online can be a bit like cooking with others in a small kitchen: it works best when we give each other room and pass the olive oil without knocking anything over. These are the kinds of behaviors we encourage at TB Food Corner to keep the burners warm and the conversation flowing:
- Contribute stories, questions, insights, and learnings — even the flops! (Sometimes burnt crust makes the best anecdote.)
- Keep your tone light and positive; humor’s allowed, as long as it’s not at anyone’s expense.
- Share meaningful resources, techniques, or traditions that can help others deepen their understanding of food or culture.
- Encourage experimentation. Perfection has no place in the kitchen or conversation — joy and curiosity, however, are always welcome.
What’s Helpful — and What’s Not
As with any bustling food market (or community!), not every ingredient suits every recipe. Here’s what helps this community thrive — and what we kindly ask you to leave at the door:
Golden Behaviors:
- Thank people for their ideas.
- Credit original work or recipes.
- Ask, “How did you do that?” more often than saying, “That’s not right.”
- Think before posting, especially when responding to a personal story or cultural tradition.
What We Kindly Decline:
- Hate speech, discrimination, or personal attacks.
- Off-topic rants, spam, or promotional content not related to the conversation.
- Posting others’ work without permission.
- Content likely to offend someone based on lifestyle, identity, or food choices (yes, pineapple can go on pizza — or not — and we’re still friends!).
Moderation: Seasoning with Care
We take a “low and slow” approach to moderation. Our team observes from behind the scenes to ensure that comments and contributions remain thoughtful and aligned with our shared mission. If content crosses the line into harmful territory, we may remove it — not to censor, but to maintain an atmosphere where creativity and safety coexist beautifully.
If you encounter something that disrupts the good flavor of the community, reach out and let us know at [email protected]. It’s how we keep the sauce from boiling over.
Sharing and Giving Credit: The Flavor of Fairness
Whenever you reference our recipes, articles, or techniques, we’d love for you to link back to the original post. Not only does this keep your readers in touch with the full story, it also honors the creators who bring flavor to every shared idea. We believe in a circle of creativity — what you share respectfully always finds its way back. One link, one mention, one acknowledgment plants a whole new tree of ideas.
Privacy and Personal Details: What’s On the Menu (and What’s Not)
Food brings people together, but not all parts of your life need to be served family-style. Never post or request personal addresses, phone numbers, or other private details — yours or anyone else’s. For transparency around how we store or process data, visit our Privacy Policy and other site policies to dig a little deeper.
We keep your data as protected as grandma’s famous pie crust recipe — no unnecessary crumbs left behind.
Want to Collaborate?
There’s always room at the table if you’re looking to contribute content, share your kitchen voice, or dip a toe into something new and nourishing. We’d love to hear from you. Who knows — your recipe tip or storytelling style may be just what another cook needed to try something bold. To spark the conversation, pop an email to [email protected]. There’s a place for you here to shine, simmer, and serve with others who love food — and people — just as much.

Final Serving Suggestion
These aren’t hard-and-fast rules — they’re flavor notes, meant to help us cook together joyfully. Each kind post, thoughtful comment, or generous share adds warmth to the community. So stir gently, taste often, share freely — and don’t forget the salt (both in food and humor). Thanks for being the best part of TB Food Corner.
