Comment Guidelines

Please use kind, respectful, and helpful language when posting comments. 1. Be kind first Start from the idea of cheering for the other person. Even when giving suggestions, use words that help the creator feel safe and motivated. 2. Respect differences People have different ideas, styles, ages, and skill levels. Do not laugh at, insult, or dismiss someone because their work is different from yours. 3. Useful comments are specific Comments like 'I liked the colors' or 'The ending was exciting' are more helpful than vague praise or criticism. If you suggest an improvement, explain it gently. 4. Do not post harmful content Do not post bullying, threats, hate speech, sexual content, graphic violence, discrimination, or encouragement of dangerous behavior. 5. Protect privacy Do not post personal information such as full names, school names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media passwords, or private details about yourself or others. 6. No spam or promotion abuse Do not repeatedly post the same message, irrelevant links, advertisements, or misleading promotions. 7. Respect creators' rights Do not copy, repost, or claim another person's work as your own. When referring to someone else's idea, do so respectfully. 8. Moderation Comments may be hidden, deleted, or restricted if they violate these rules or if Garoop determines that they could harm children, families, or the community. 9. If you are unsure, choose the safer comment Before posting, ask: 'Would I be okay if someone said this to me?' If the answer is no, rewrite it more gently.
