Name:Food Basics
About:The premise:

Every two weeks or so the moderators will post a basic foodstuff as a topic. Sample topics might be "thyme" or "oranges." For the next two weeks everything about that foodstuff is on-topic. Favorite recipes, tricks for use, what brands/types are best, etc.

Experienced cooks and novices are both welcome. Come, join, discuss!

The way things work:

Topics - Will be announced by the moderators. Topic selection will involve a complex process of polling, suggestions, and a couple of D20s. :) Topics will last approximately two weeks, give or take depending on interest.

Posting - Most postings should relate to the current topic at hand.

Things to talk about - How to select the best/premium of the current topic. How to use various versions of said topic. Favorite recipes of said topic. Etc.

Tagging - Very important. Basic tags include: admin (for mods only obviously), recipe, how to, and of course, the current ingredient in question. There will later be more specific delineations, such as types of cooking, specific food types, etc. Please every pay attention to your tags and watch for admin posts involving new tags. Hopefully as the need arises we'll get to them asap. Admin posts will often be the ones that introduce the newest tags.

Moderation - While I am not of the point of view that your moderators are gods, they do have authority. All quibble, squabbles and kerfluffles should be aired privately. And IF a moderator does have to come in and break up a fight and use some of the less pleasant bits of moderator authority, I expect them to be respected and new rules to be observed.

Can I... - If you have the urge to start a post with "I don't know if this is allowed but...", or some variation thereof. Don't. This community has the possibility of getting a fairly large number of subscribers. If you're not sure. Ask a moderator. Either go to ANY admin post (tagged as such) or through or through the email provided under the website link.

Disclaimer - These are not set in stone, however I promise notices WILL be posted in the event of any changes.
