 ==== MoMg Problematic GIFs ====
-[[:momg|MoMG Gif Gallery]] is a gallery where each room has a random set of gifs. There are some inappropriate gifs (or, problematic) gifs that could ruin the user(s) experience! Melon has address this problem by adding a report email in the info page[(https://momg.neocities.org/info)]. However, there are a lot of gifs that could ruin the experience but isn't problematic enough to be removed, such as gifs that was appropriate 20 years ago, but isn't anymore at the current time.
+[[:momg|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 needed[(https://momg.neocities.org/info)].
 ==== PixelSea Problematic Graphics ====
-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 32x32 Mode, there are some problematic graphics too, but this time, it actually warns the user that this collection isn't moderated, unlike the 32x32 Mode.

 ==== The forum closing on mondays ====
-On January 15, Monday 2024, a new poll by Melooon, appeared in the forums; asking if on every monday the Melonland Forums should be closed[(https://forum.melonland.net/index.php?topic=2492.0)], 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.[(https://wiki.melonland.net/forum_help?s[]=forum)]. 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. That being said, The user may still look at profiles.

+==== Accessibility ====
+There has been a debate whether accessibility should be the main focus of the web revival, this topic was met with mixed reaction. Somes 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.
+==== AI ====
+When AI was trending all over social media, some users had their pet peeves on AI. Some users say it's useful, 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 does not like the corporate "slop".
