Recipes and Resources Pages - Community Activities
HMR has created the "Recipes and Resources Pages" to share information and the experiences of the many people who have participated in HMR Programs, used HMR Products, or in some other way have brought, or would like to bring, HMR's approach to weight management and healthy lifestyles into their lives. You may view the Recipes and Resources Pages and share the content on these pages without creating an Account. However, you will need an Account and a Community Use ID with your first name and the initial of your last name - you may also provide a picture - in order to engage in certain activities on the Recipes and Resources Pages, such as posting, amending and deleting comments from time to time, to also amending and deleting those comments from time to time, "liking" content, and contributing to or starting Forums (collectively, "Community Activities"). Currently, the Recipes and Resources Pages are not allowing new user submitted recipes, success stories or articles, but the pages do contain many of these items we have brought over from past websites sponsored by HMR.
The focus of the Recipes and Resources Pages is on building a relationship among HMR-connected people and those who many be interested in HMR to further our mission (to improve the health of others). As part of building an HMR community, you will have the opportunity to submit ideas for, and user-generated content on, HMR sponsored Forums, etc. It is our hope that you will get support from the HMR content and from the content submitted by other users.
Keep in mind that any content that you post will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, and that you are granting to HMR an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, display disclose, distribute, publish, and make derivative works from such content for any purpose.
User-submitted content will be subject to review. In some cases, HMR may make minor edits. HMR will remove any user-generated content that it feels is inappropriate or conflicts with the rights of those who own such material. In doing so, HMR will use its own judgment consistent with the spirit of the Sites. We know that the vast majority of users understand the importance of demonstrating respect for others as part of using the Sites.
Although we review user-submitted content on a regular basis, in the end, it is largely up to you, our users, to decide what is appropriate. In getting to know many of our HMR participants over the years, we are confident that you will use good judgment when contributing your thoughts, ideas, and experiences to the Recipes and Resources Pages and to the many people you will reach. Below are some common-sense "community etiquette" points and other advice for submissions:
- Respect the rights of others and their rights to privacy: If you identify third parties or minors (names, photos, videos or any other identifying information), check before making identifying references to them.
- Keep it clean and keep it calm: This is your community. Consider whether something you say may be hurtful or offensive to other people. We will remove any postings that include any vulgar, foul, or obscene language or imagery. Keep this in mind when posting content, photos, or videos. We want this to be a place where everyone feels at ease with the content.
- Courtesy: Community members include you and anyone who participates on this Website, as well as both HMR and HMR Program staff who are here to help you. Please be courteous to your Community users so that this remains a safe and enjoyable community.
- Consider whether something you discuss is confidential and avoid unnecessary discussion about more private or confidential information.
- If you do not own the material you post as a comment or in a Forum (for example, if you did not write it yourself), you must have permission to post it. Never post anything you know may violate a law or the rights of others (e.g., privacy and copyright laws).
- Don't pretend to be some other real person. Present truthful information about your own life and experiences.
- The Sites are not intended for non-Community users (such as promotion of your business, charity, commercial URL, or the promotion, sale, or auction of any products or services).
