🌿 Forum Rules & Community Guidelines

Welcome to the Sea Salt Moss Forum — a space for connection, learning, and respectful discussion around nature, health, gardening, and herbal practices.

Our goal is to keep this forum welcoming, informative, and grounded. Please take a moment to read the guidelines below before posting.

1️⃣ Be Respectful & Kind

Treat others with respect, even when you disagree

No harassment, hate speech, personal attacks, or trolling

Healthy debate is welcome — hostility is not

We’re here to learn from each other 🌱

2️⃣ This Is a Community, Not Medical Advice

Discussions about herbs, tinctures, and wellness are educational and experiential only

Do not present advice as professional medical guidance

Always encourage personal research and consulting qualified professionals when appropriate

Use phrases like:

“In my experience…”
“What worked for me…”

3️⃣ Post in the Right Place

Choose the forum that best fits your topic

Read forum descriptions before posting

If you’re unsure, do your best — moderators may move threads if needed

Clear organization helps everyone find good information.

4️⃣ Use Clear, Descriptive Titles

Good titles help people (and search engines) find your post.

✅ Good:

“Beginner Guide: Making Sea Moss Tinctures at Home”

❌ Not helpful:

“Help”
“Question”

5️⃣ No Spam or Self-Promotion

No unsolicited ads, affiliate links, or promotions

Sharing resources is welcome if genuinely helpful

Business or product links should be relevant and transparent

If in doubt — ask a moderator first.

6️⃣ Respect Nature & Safety

Do not encourage unsafe harvesting, misuse of plants, or illegal activity

When discussing foraging or wildcrafting, prioritize:

Sustainability

Proper identification

Environmental responsibility

We honor the earth by protecting it 🌍

7️⃣ Privacy Matters

Do not post personal information (yours or others’)

No doxxing or sharing private conversations without consent

Respect anonymity — many people come here to learn quietly

8️⃣ Keep Discussions Constructive

Stay on topic within threads

Avoid excessive arguing or derailing discussions

It’s okay to disagree — explain why, calmly

9️⃣ Moderation & Enforcement

Moderators may:

Edit or remove posts that violate guidelines

Move topics to the correct forum

Issue warnings or restrict access if necessary

Moderation decisions are made to protect the community, not punish individuals.

🌱 Final Note

This forum grows through shared experience, curiosity, and respect.
