FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) 
 Subject Question Reply
Other/General Can I reply to a reply on the Forum, rather than to the original comment to which it relates?  No. You can only add further replies to an existing comment or add a new one. This limits the complexity of the Forum making it easier to find answers. 
Other/General The question I want to ask does not fit into any of the current Topics on the Forum. Can I create a new one?  If you think a new Topic is needed you can use the Contact page to ask for one and, if agreed, it will be set up. Alternatively, post your comment under "Other/General" and, if we think it needs a new Topic to be created we will do so automatically. 
Other/General Are comments and replies on the Forum treated differently to comments on the main Where's Good to Eat listings?  No. Forum comments are subject to the same rules and checks as those published elsewhere on the site. 
Reviews/Comments Are comments deleted when they reach a certain age?  Yes. We currently delete comments that are over 12 months old. 
Reviews/Comments Are establishments that advertise on the site given any special consideration when it comes to comments or recommendations?  No. There is no link between advertising and comments. Advertisers understand that any compromise on the issue of open public access would negate the key reason for the site’s popularity. 
Other/General How can I cancel all my Notify Me registrations without waiting until I get each new email notification with its ‘cancel’ link?  Please use the contact page to make the request and ensure you provide the email address you used to register for Notify Me.  
Other/General What happens when the end date I input for receiving comment notifications (i.e. Notify Me)is reached?  We will send you an email offering you the opportunity to extent the end date, using a link. If you do not do so, you will not receive further updates for that establishment. You can, of course, re-register at any time. 
Other/General Is there a limit on the number of establishments I can register for using the “Notify Me” scheme?  No. You can register as many as you wish. 
Reviews/Comments How do I volunteer to become a Secret Diner?  Secret Diners are selected from amongst the best of the Selected Reviewers on the site. If you write several objective and interesting comments, using a consistent nickname, you may be invited to become one. 
Reviews/Comments How do you decide which category (i.e. Café) an establishment falls into?  Broadly, the categories are those under which the establishment is listed in the telephone directory. We do, however, revise these where we feel they may be misleading or on request from the establishment.
