Welcome to the Coconut
Diet forums!
(Formerly the Coconut-info discussion group on Yahoo)
Since this is a very busy and large community, there are several
guidelines that we have to implement to manage a discussion forum of
this size, so that we can accomplish our goal, which is to educate the
world on the wonderful health benefits of coconut oil.
The Coconut Diet Forums is linked to volumes of wonderful information
on coconut oil, the most extensive collection of information available
anywhere on the Internet on this topic, and it is provided to you free
of charge by Mt. Banahaw Health Products Corp. in the Philippines. We
request that you in turn agree to abide by the following guidelines in
using these forums.
GUIDELINES
Privacy. We respect your privacy and as such no one's email
address will be revealed in any of the forums. With tens of thousands of
participants in the forums, many will join with their own agendas and
try to solicit or collect email addresses. That will NOT be possible in
the Coconut Diet forums. We also guarantee that we will not give away,
sell, or use your email address and personal information outside of this
forum. You will always have the option to stop receiving any forum
messages or other communication from us at any time.
Moderation. The forums are 100% moderated, meaning all
messages must be reviewed and approved before appearing in one of the
forum topics.
The following messages submitted for posting will generally be
rejected:
Advertisements or promotions of personal agendas or other websites
and products.
Criticisms or comments of coconut products. We don't publicly
criticize those who produce and market coconut products, and we're not
interested in funding this forum for such criticisms.
Arguments and debates. There is a fine line between those who are
asking genuine questions about the mainstream dietary advice regarding
fats and oils, and those who simply want to debate and promote their
agenda, and the decision to allow or not allow a post in this regard
will rest with the moderators.
Messages asking questions which are covered in the online articles
or in the archives, will be directed to look at those sources and not
reach the Forums. Please check and see if your question or topic has
already been discussed or covered on our websites. There are 5 years of
archives currently available to search through.
Virus warnings.
Anything deemed offtopic and not contributing to the goal of these
Forums.
Long case histories of people's illnesses and asking for medical
advice, or if one should stop taking medications. We are not doctors,
and coconut oil is a food, not a medicine. Everything posted on the
forums is someone's opinion, and nothing is to be taken as medical
advice.
Unfortunately, we will not always have time to inform people why
their post didn't make it to the forums. Most of the time messages are
not accepted because the answer is already on our websites, or because
they failed to follow these guidelines.
It is certainly not our desire to be so strict on these forums: we
would rather that this was a completely open and unmoderated forum. But
that is not possible with a community this size, and there is no other
choice except to stop the forums altogether or start charging an access
fee. When you give the public free access to a community of tens of
thousands of members, people will naturally want to take advantage of
this free access at our expense. Currently the only way to post messages
in the forums is via the website. However, you can change your
preferences to have all messages posted to the forums delivered to you
via email. You just won't be able to respond to those messages via
email.
All messages posted to the forums and archived are copyrighted by Mt.
Banahaw Health Products Corp. with all rights reserved. You cannot copy
any messages other than your own without the approval of Mt. Banahaw
Health Products Crop.
Sincerely,
Brian and Marianita Shilhavy
