Things.mn Rules
Just be nice . That's the gist of it.
Read our more specific rules below.
In addition to our Terms of Service, These rules are meant to benefit all users of this website. We understand mistakes and misunderstandings happen, but if you're regularly causing problems, you're ruining it for everyone and your account may be restricted or banned.
You'll get notifications and warnings first. If you disagree with the rules, send us Feedback.
Rules and enforcement are ultimately at our discretion, of course.
Things that will result in warnings or restrictions
- Posting junk or spammy content.
- Posting things that are not allowed (see below).
- Being unnecessarily mean, creepy, or rude.
- Violence, threats, terrorism.
- Using bots.
- Conspiracy theory nonsense.
- Racism, sexism, and other discrimination.
What's generally not allowed?
No private personal information
Do not share anyone's address, phone number, email address, or other personal information without their permission.
You can choose to share your own though.
Basically, if it's private information that you wouldn't want shared about yourself, don't share it. If it's info about a business or public figure that is publicly available and easy to find on another site already (like a politician's email address), then it's probably fine.
No copyrighted content
Don't take others' work. Only add photos or content you have taken or created your self, or have received permission to post.
No nudity
Art may be allowed later.
No illegal things
You do you, but you can't do it here.
Something like "I'm a drug user looking for treatment, any recommendations?" is fine. Great, actually. "Anyone know where I can score myself some drugs?" is not.
What's specifically not allowed?
No AI generated content
No images or content generated by AI. Any AI images or content will be removed.
AI is bad and removing personality from everything. Write your own content and take your own photos - it's ok to not be perfect!
No national franchise locations
We know they're often run by our neighbors, but most people know what they are and they're easy enough to find. We want to stay focused on truly local things.
Some exceptions will apply for locations that have something unique
No Multi-Level Marketing
Same as above. They are just not truly local, plus the prevalence of scams in the industry means we'll stay away.
including but not limited to doTerra, Young Living, Avon, Herbalife, Mary Kay, etc..
No Hate Groups, Cults, Scientology
Yeah.
No Crpyto/NFTs/Web3
This is web2, baby. Believe it or not, we just don't trust the industry, and don't want to be responsible for directing users to a scam.
No Sports betting, "prediction markets", or other gambling
Actual native owned casinos and events are allowed.
"Punishment"
Breaking rules will typically just mean the content gets removed and you get a warning notification letting you know why.
Repeated warnings in a short time will result in your profile being restricted temporarily. You will still be able to use your account, but will be unable to post/comment/submit.
If that continues, and for serious violations, your account will be permanently restricted or banned.
These rules will evolve. If you have questions, concerns, feedback, or suggestions, reach out to hello@things.mn or send some feedback.
