I asked this once before but didn't get a response. I understand that CS can use the winning recipe but would that mean that I could NOT publish it myself at a later date?
Yes, that is what it means. The recipe becomes the property of Cookshack when it is submitted, and would require our permission to be published by anyone else. I can't foresee a situation where we would not grant permission, but I suppose it's possible.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
