Community Guidelines – Engagement Standards
Welcome to Mint Pal House, the place where we expect our community members to engage with at least a modicum of respect and intelligence. Founded by Quenric Drovayne in Fenton, Missouri, this is your go-to spot for all things Home and Garden Trends, Interior Design Ideas, and DIY Home Projects. But let’s be honest: if you think this is just another casual chat space, think again.
Here at Mint Pal House, we set the bar high because our members deserve informed, thoughtful, and meaningful conversations. We’re interested in constructive engagement, not shallow comments or unqualified opinions. If that sounds like a challenge, welcome—it’s about time someone raised the standard.
Our Purpose
This community is designed to be a sanctuary for those dedicated to diving deep into topics such as Outdoor Living Tips and Home Maintenance Hacks. Our Inspiration Corner isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about real ideas that require real thought. Our community supports those truly ready to learn and grow.
The Values We Actually Care About
- Respect: If you can’t be courteous, this isn’t the place for your comments.
- Honesty: Provide truthful, well-sourced information; guesswork doesn’t cut it here.
- Inclusivity: This community is rich because of its diversity—open your mind or don’t bother.
- Constructiveness: Critique with purpose. Tear down? That’s for someone else’s playground.
- Engagement: Lurkers are welcome to observe, but join in respectfully if you want to contribute.
How to Engage Without Wasting Everyone’s Time
- Stay relevant—post about real topics like Home Mentorship or use our Home Framework Guides for reference.
- Write clearly and with some thought—impulsive rants are unproductive.
- Give credit when you borrow ideas or content; plagiarism is easy to spot and deeply uncool.
- Accept that opposing views exist and respond reasonably rather than resorting to insults.
New members, please read our Core Values before posting—you’re expected to follow them.
