Community Guidelines

Last updated: 6 September 2026

Food Challenge Hub is a place to find, attempt, and talk about food-eating challenges — and, in the Community Forum, to swap tips, plan trips, and chat with other people who do the same thing. These Guidelines set out what we expect from everyone using the Service, in plain language. They apply everywhere you can post something — challenge reviews, results, photos, leaderboard tips, and the Community Forum — and they form part of our Terms of Use.

Be a decent person about it

Talk to other people the way you'd want to be talked to, especially when you disagree with them.
Assume good faith. Most people posting a bad time or a missed challenge attempt aren't lying — they're just having an off day.
Stay on topic. The Forum has different sections for a reason — keep a post somewhere another member would actually expect to find it.
Give credit where it's due. If you're sharing someone else's photo, video, or write-up, say so.

Not allowed, anywhere on the Service

Harassment or abuse — insults, threats, pile-ons, or targeting someone because of who they are.
Hate speech — content that attacks or demeans people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar.
Illegal content or activity — anything that breaks the law, including content promoting it.
Sexually explicit content — this isn't that kind of app.
Impersonation — pretending to be another person, a Venue, or a member of our team.
Spam and self-promotion — dropping unrelated links, repeatedly promoting a business, or posting the same thing across multiple threads.
Dishonesty about a challenge — faking a result, submitting a challenge listing you know is inaccurate, or leaving a review you know to be false. This is a directory people rely on to know what they're actually signing up for.
Doxxing — sharing someone else's private information (address, phone number, workplace, etc.) without their consent.
Evading moderation — creating a new account after being banned, or getting around a Forum section's access restriction.

This list gives concrete examples but isn't exhaustive — the general standard is Section 8 of our Terms of Use, and we'll act on anything that clearly falls short of it even if it isn't listed above word-for-word.

Reporting and blocking

If you see something that breaks these Guidelines, please report it rather than replying to it — that's the fastest way for our team to actually see it.

To report a post, profile, challenge, or result:

Tap the ••• (more options) button next to it, or the flag icon on a Forum thread or reply.
Choose Report, pick a reason, and add any extra detail that would help us.

To stop seeing someone's content entirely: open their profile, tap •••, and choose Block. You can undo this at any time from the same menu.

Reports go straight to our moderators and admins, and are reviewed as quickly as we reasonably can. We don't share who made a report with the person it's about.

What happens next

Depending on what we find, we may leave the content as-is, remove it, lock a Forum thread to new replies, or take action against the account responsible — anything from a warning up to a permanent ban, at our discretion. Deleting a Forum thread also removes every reply within it, including replies from other people, so we reserve that for genuinely necessary cases rather than using it lightly.

We won't always be able to tell you the outcome of a report you made, but if action was taken against your own content or account, we'll let you know and give you a way to reply — email support@foodchallengehub.com if you think a decision was made in error.

Changes to these Guidelines

We may update these Guidelines from time to time as the Service changes. We'll post the updated version here with a new "Last updated" date.
