To keep this space inspiring, engaging, and respectful for all members, please follow these simple guidelines:

1. Keep Discussions Respectful and On-Topic
This is a community for enthusiasts to share and discuss collectibles. Keep conversations related to the group's focus. Be respectful of others. Harassment, threats, trolling, or discriminatory language of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in an immediate ban. Civil disagreements are allowed, but keep discussions constructive and respectful.

2. External Sales or Self-Promotion
Direct links to eBay, other sales platforms, or personal websites are not allowed unless explicitly permitted in certain channels.
Self-promotion (YouTube, Instagram, podcasts, etc.) should be limited. Excessive self-promotion will result in warnings or removal.

3. Sales and Trading Guidelines
All 'For Sale' posts must include clear pricing, item images, and, if applicable, proof of ownership (e.g., coining - a photo with a username and date).
Clearly state your desired trade terms in 'For Trade' posts. Indicate what you’re looking for in return. The group is not responsible for incomplete trades or sales. Use safe payment methods (e.g., PayPal Goods & Services) to protect yourself.
Use designated channels for sales, trades, and giveaways. Repeated violations may result in a ban.

4. No Spam or Low-Effort Posts
Avoid posting repetitive or low-effort content, such as asking for price checks without prior research. Use resources like eBay completed listings or online price guides first. No countdown posts, repeated promotions, or excessive bumping of threads.

5. Handling Disputes and Reporting Issues
Report scammers, suspicious activity, or rule violations to the moderators. Do not post call-out threads or publicly accuse members.
Moderators are here to help—message them if you have suggestions or concerns. Do not message all mods unless it’s an emergency.

6. No NSFW or Offensive Content
This group is for collectors of all ages. Posting NSFW (Not Safe for Work) content, offensive images, or malicious links will result in an instant ban.

7. Group-Specific Event Guidelines
If you want to host an event like an auction, fire sale, or giveaway, please seek moderator approval.

8. No Unauthorized Advertising
Do not advertise other groups, Discord servers, or communities without explicit permission from moderators.
9. General Conduct and Community Spirit
Be welcoming to new members and foster a positive environment. We’re all here to share our passion for collecting! Excessive use of foul language is discouraged. Keep the tone friendly and inviting.
10. Affiliate Disclosure
Note: Some links shared by users, moderators or the platform may include affiliate tracking, meaning Mantel may earn a commission if purchases are made through those links.
Breaking these rules may result in post removal or removal from the group.
