Community Comment Policy

Welcome to The Big Ivy.

This space was created to foster open, honest, and supportive conversations about weight, self-worth, and personal style, especially for those who have often felt unseen or excluded. I am deeply committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for everyone who participates here.

To protect this community, I ask all commenters to follow these guidelines:

1. Respect Others

• Personal attacks, body shaming, harassment, or trolling will not be tolerated.

• Disagreement is fine — but attack ideas, not people.

2. Stay Constructive

• Share your own experiences and perspectives thoughtfully.

• If offering criticism, please make it constructive and kind.

3. No Hate Speech or Discrimination

• Comments that promote racism, sexism, homophobia, fatphobia, or any form of hate will be immediately removed.

4. Protect Privacy

• Please do not share private information about yourself or others.

5. My Right to Moderate

• I reserve the right to delete any comment that, in my judgment, does not contribute to a safe and welcoming environment.

• Repeat offenders will be blocked without warning.

This blog exists to uplift and support, not to tear down. Thank you for being part of this community and treating others with the same kindness and dignity you deserve.
