The MelonLand guidelines are a set of ideals and rules that I will do my best to apply to all MelonLand sites to make sure that they give everyone visiting MelonLand the best possible experience; If you'd like to apply these guidelines to your site or community too feel free to link them!

These guidelines apply to all MelonLand sites, and sites linked to from MelonLand sites*

1. Active fair moderation to ensure spaces are safe and positive!
2. Respectful of others, appreciate their differences and opinions; we are inclusive to all forms of existence.
3. Emphasis on kindness and respect to all people; and a promotion of knowledge <3
4. Avoidance of excessive data collection and analytics $$
5. No allowance of harassment, pestering or diminishing of people or groups - be pleasant and think before posting.
6. No promotion of hate, conspiracies or misinformation - please avoid references or devils advocates.
7. Avoid content depicting or referencing traumatic situations or illegal material - aka things that you would not show to your mum.
8. Appropriate warnings before entering a space that contains adult content or upsetting themes.
9. Avoid links or identifiable references to sites/media that clearly break these basic guidelines.

Also please read the etiquette guide :^]

*While its not possible for us to vet EVERY link and piece of content - I ask that people make their best effort and report mistakes when they happen - We will do our best to make every connection out of MelonLand a good one :^)

1. Please keep the forum casual but on-point and sort things into the appropriate sections.
2. Please don't post memes, in-jokes or use acronyms, particularly if it requires context/external knowledge to understand.
3. Please remember a forum is not a chatroom, posts should be a full sentence or more, avoid short posts!
4. Please keep topic titles and subjects neutral and descriptive - avoid clickbait phrasing.
