How notices are checked

Rules

The rules in short

How Health Protein researches, checks, corrects and takes down notices.

Rule 01

Health Protein posts every notice and answers for it.
A person is named on a notice only for their own work. “Notice by” names the person who wrote it. “Approved by” names a person who read that version and approved it, signed in as themselves. “Notes by” names a person whose own notes the notice quotes. Everyone named agreed to be named.
A notice that names no writer is credited to Health Protein.

Rule 02

When a notice uses sources, it lists them with links to the pages they came from.
Links in a notice go only to secure web pages or to this board.

Rule 03

Each notice passes the board's checks before it goes up, and again every time it is opened. A notice that fails them comes down from view.
The checks block product promotion, sponsored or affiliate content, and stock phrases typical of machine-written text.
The board runs no ads and gives no financial or legal advice.
Health notices are general information, not personal medical advice. See the Health notice.

Rule 04

Two routes put a health notice up: a qualified reviewer approves that exact version, or the board's automated content and source checks pass.
An approved notice names its reviewer, their qualification and the date. A notice that passed the checks names no reviewer and shows only the date they passed. Any change is checked again before it goes up.
Expert panel lists every reviewer who approved a notice, with their qualification. The board checked each qualification before the reviewer joined, and every reviewer agreed to be named.

Rule 05

A wrong notice is corrected. The fix replaces the old notice once a reviewer approves it, or once the board's automated content and source checks pass on it.
The fixed notice then carries the date it was approved or checked, and the date it was updated if its text changed.
Report a mistake to notices@health-protein.com.
Send complaints to the Grievances desk.

Rule 06

The desk can take a notice down at any time. It then disappears from the board, the RSS copy and the sitemap at once.
