Community Standards
Rules
Garage Farmers works when reef keepers, growers, buyers, and sellers treat each other like trusted neighbors.
Last updated June 5, 2026
Use Real, Honest Information
Keep profile, farm, tank, listing, and transaction information accurate. Do not impersonate another person, misrepresent livestock, hide known pests or health issues, or post listings you cannot reasonably fulfill.
Photos should show the actual coral, livestock, tank, farm, or item being discussed or sold unless the listing clearly says otherwise.
Respect The Reefing Community
No harassment, threats, hate speech, doxxing, sexual content, spam, scams, or repeated unwanted contact. Critique husbandry, pricing, and methods without attacking the person.
Keep community posts, help questions, replies, and messages relevant to reef keeping, aquaculture, equipment, marketplace activity, or Garage Farmers support.
Sell Responsibly
Sellers are responsible for the accuracy, legality, condition, pricing, payment handling, packaging, pickup, shipping, refunds, guarantees, and tax treatment of their own listings and sales.
Do not list prohibited, illegally collected, misidentified, endangered, restricted, counterfeit, stolen, or unsafe items. Follow all local, state, federal, and carrier rules that apply to your livestock.
Handle Disputes In Good Faith
If a transaction has a problem, communicate promptly and preserve useful context such as photos, messages, timestamps, payment records, and agreed terms.
Garage Farmers may review platform activity, but the platform is not a payment processor, shipping carrier, escrow service, insurer, tax adviser, or legal representative for either party.
Enforcement
We may remove content, limit features, suspend accounts, revoke badges, cancel memberships, or preserve records when activity appears unsafe, abusive, fraudulent, illegal, or harmful to the platform.
We may also act when behavior creates operational risk even if it is not listed word-for-word here.
