CookingBites works best when discussions are clear, friendly, and easy to follow. A few small habits make a big difference.
Capital Letters
Please avoid using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in thread titles or posts.
Writing in all caps is widely understood to mean shouting and can come across as rude or aggressive, even when that isn’t the intention. If you want to emphasise a word or phrase, please use bold or italics instead.
If you notice excessive use of capital letters, feel free to use the Report button and mark it accordingly.
Replies, Quotes, and General Discussion
CookingBites is a threaded forum. This means:
To avoid confusion:
Assume Good Intent
Written text lacks tone, facial expression, and context. Please assume good intent from other members and phrase your replies accordingly. What feels obvious to the writer may not be obvious to the reader.
If something reads more sharply than intended, a small clarification usually goes a long way.
Why This Matters
CookingBites is a global community with members from many cultures, backgrounds, and communication styles. Clear, considerate posting helps keep discussions welcoming, readable, and enjoyable for everyone.
Thank you for helping keep CookingBites a friendly and respectful place to talk about food and cooking.

Replies, Quotes, and General Discussion
CookingBites is a threaded forum. This means:
- When you reply, your post appears after the previous one
- Your reply is not automatically directed at the person immediately above you
- Unless you quote someone, they may not receive a notification
To avoid confusion:
- Quote the post you are replying to if you are addressing a specific person or comment
- Use a name (e.g. “@username”) if helpful
- If you are adding a general thought, recipe idea, or experience, feel free to do so - just be aware it may be read by many people, not one.
- the person you’re replying to receive a notification,
- other readers follow the conversation more easily, and
- prevent misunderstandings or unintended offence
