This a list of controversial topics in the Melonland Community. Some are small complaints, Some are out-right disturbing. Some are Drama that melon, and/or the community was involved, list goes on.

MoMG Gif Gallery is an e-gallery where each room displays a random set of gif images made in the 90s and 00s and collected from web archives. The collection represents the cultural standards of those eras and so contains images that were considered appropriate at that time, but may not be considered appropriate today. This includes cultural depictures, religious symbolism and characters that some visitors my find uncomfortable. The goal of the gallery is to present these images out of context, and so context cant be provided. However a report feature is offered when needed¹⁾.

In PixelSea, there are icons that are… graphics that are NSFW related, such as sex. It is odd that this was manually approved by Melon, and whats even odder, is that there isn't any notes about this.

in 32×32 Mode, there are some problematic graphics too, but this time, it actually warns the user that this collection isn't moderated, unlike the 32×32 Mode.

There isn't an option to chat in Ozwomp Is Online, only the option to say “Greetings” and spawn a heart.

This is probably to save some time on moderation.

On January 15, Monday 2024, a new poll by Melooon, appeared in the forums; asking if on every monday the Melonland Forums should be closed²⁾, this is partly to give everyone a break (especially moderators), but also to act as a reminder that it's not good to always be online and connected - it's good to step back and appreciate the time we have. If you send a message or make a post as the forum is closing the post won't be lost, it will be there when the forum reopens.³⁾. This was met with mixed reactions. some users say its a bad idea, and some say its a good idea. Some say that it should be placed in Read-Only mode on every mondays. Regardless, the poll for “Yarrr” (Yes) has won, and thus, this feature has been implemented. When the forum closes, You will be unable to post anything, or read any posts. However, The user may still look at profiles, and still can access the everyone sites.

There has been a debate whether accessibility should be the main focus of the Web revival, this topic was met with a mixed reaction. Some users says that accessibility, while sometimes not required, is becoming a necessity to make their site as accessible as possible, while also keeping the authenticity of the old web.

When AI was trending all over social media, some users had their pet peeves on AI. Some users say it's useful, some users even say its useful. But some users see the dangers of AI, and how it can be hurtful for artists, writers, and especially the environment. Outside of the melonland forum, neocities is implementing AI to its code editor, but it wouldn't be trained on other users work, it would be trained on code freely accessible, such as examples in documentations. Still, users don't like the idea, and made petitions telling Kyle Drake that AI would be horrible for neocities, as most neocities users builds websites to get out of the corporate drama.
