These guidelines are effective from November 11, 2026. They supplement the Terms of Use and explain what we expect from contributions, how we moderate, and how you can report or complain.
The goal is a factual, safe and useful community about pizza. We assess content based on context, seriousness, risk of harm and whether the violation is repeated.
1. Comments and ratings
Comments should be about the recipe or relevant experience. Reviews should be based on a real and honest assessment. Be objective, and criticize the content or results – not the person behind it.
This is not allowed:
- threats, harassment, hateful or discriminatory speech;
- personal attacks, impersonation of others or publication of personal information without valid grounds;
- illegal content, infringements of law, malicious code or misleading links;
- spam, hidden advertising, irrelevant posts or repeated self-promotion;
- manipulation of ratings, storage numbers or other statistics; or
- undocumented health or food safety claims that may put others at risk.
2. Articles and editorial responsibility
The author must have the right to use text, images, quotes and sources. Facts, personal experiences and opinions must be clearly distinguished. Known errors must be corrected, and significant sources or connections must be disclosed.
All articles must be approved by an editor before publication. The editor may request documentation or changes, reject content, correct obvious errors, and depublish content that violates the guidelines. Significant changes in meaning or conclusion should be discussed with the author.
3. Sponsored and commercial content
Payment, free or borrowed products, discounts, travel, commission links, ambassador agreements, and other benefits or ties must be disclosed to the editor upon submission.
Commercial content must be clearly marked with "Advertisement" or "Advertisement" before the review begins, and it must state who the advertisement is for. The marking must be visible without the reader having to open, scroll or search for it.
A sponsor cannot purchase a D.I.P. score, a user recommendation, or a positive editorial conclusion. Sponsorship does not guarantee publication. Ads served by Google are separate from editorial content and are not an endorsement by Pizzakollektivet.
4. How we moderate
Administrators may delete comments and reviews that are clearly advertising or spam, or that the administrator deems inappropriate for Pizzakollektivet. This also includes content that violates the rules above or disrupts a proper conversation.
We use the least intrusive measure that is justifiable. This may include requesting correction, temporarily hiding content, removing content, refusing publication, or restricting access in the event of serious or repeated violations.
When practical and justifiable, the contributor will receive a brief explanation that shows which rule has been applied, what action has been taken, and how the decision can be appealed. Illegal content or content with an acute risk of harm may be removed immediately.
In the meantime, hidden content shall be restored if the investigation does not provide grounds for action. Editors shall declare their own commitments and not decide on a matter in which they have a significant conflict of interest, when another editor can take the matter.
5. Notify about content
Send a notification to pizzakollektivet@gmail.com with the subject "Notice about content". Include the website address, what content the notification concerns, why you believe it violates the rules or the law, and relevant documentation. State whether you are the person mentioned, the copyright holder, or a representative of someone else.
We may request additional information or verification of identity when necessary. We do not share more information than necessary with the person who posted the content. Threats or potentially criminal content may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
6. Complaint about moderation
If you disagree with a moderation decision, you can write to pizzakollektivet@gmail.com with the subject "Complaint on moderation". Please state the decision, the web address, why you think it should be changed, and any new information. Please send the complaint within 30 days, but we can consider a later complaint when it is reasonable.
The appeal should, whenever practical, be reviewed by a different editor than the one who made the initial decision. We aim to acknowledge receipt within seven days and provide a reasoned decision within 30 days. Complex cases may take longer; we will notify you.
7. Possible outcomes
Following notification or appeal, we may uphold the decision, change the action, restore content, correct or flag content, or request more information. We also consider whether public counts or assessment summaries need to be recalculated.
An internal decision does not limit your right to contact relevant authorities, courts or other complaint bodies when this is required by law.
8. Changes and contact
We may update the guidelines as the service or regulations change. The version and date are at the top. Questions can be sent to pizzakollektivet@gmail.com.
