Terms & Community Rules
THE HOUSE RULE: MOAN, BUT DON'T BE A DICK. This is a place for everyday frustrations, sarcasm and the occasional colourful outburst. It is not a platform for targeting or abusing real people.
Last updated: 22 October 2026. Operator: MoanWall.
1. What you can post
Complain about traffic, the weather, jobs, bureaucracy, politics, religion, technology, relationships, public issues, and the absurdity of existence. General criticism of beliefs, ideas, systems or practices, including religious or political ones, is allowed. Profanity and satire are okay when they are not used to attack an identifiable target.
2. What you cannot post
- Racism, antisemitism, religious hatred, discriminatory slurs, or attacks on people because of race, ethnicity, nationality, faith, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or other protected characteristics.
- Personal insults, name-calling aimed at identifiable people, bullying, stalking, targeted harassment, threats, encouragement of violence or self-harm.
- Posts naming, identifying or clearly pointing at an individual, business or organisation to shame, harass, accuse or mobilise others against them. Anonymous handles must not impersonate people or organisations.
- Private information, photos without permission, addresses, phone numbers, contact details, email addresses, URLs, social handles, personal accusations, defamatory allegations or doxxing.
- Spam, advertising, scams, unlawful content, sexual exploitation, or attempts to get around these rules with coded words, misspellings or hints.
The distinction matters: “Religion annoys me” is a general opinion; an attack on followers of a particular religion is not. “People driving badly are doing my head in” is fine; identifying a driver and inviting abuse is not.
3. Posting and moderation
You may submit a 500-character moan using an optional public handle without registering an account. Submitted moans enter moderation and are not guaranteed publication. Only the 50 newest approved moans appear on the public wall; older moans may remain in the private database for administration, legal needs or moderation. A post disappearing from the wall does not mean it was deleted from storage.
We may review, decline, edit only for technical formatting, hide or remove content, close reports, restrict abuse or retain records where reasonably necessary. Approval is not an endorsement or proof that a claim is accurate. Official/admin moans follow the same community rules. You can report a moan using the Report link on its card.
4. Responsibility for your words
You are responsible for what you submit and must have the rights to submit it. Do not present allegations as verified facts. You grant the site a non-exclusive permission to display, format and share your submitted moan in connection with operating MoanWall, including its image-sharing feature; you retain ownership of your original content. Do not repost someone else's private or protected content without permission.
5. Store and external services
MoanMerch prices, applicable delivery charges and payment choices are shown during checkout. Orders are subject to payment confirmation, product availability and applicable consumer rights. Card and eligible PromptPay payments use a third-party checkout; bank transfers, where available, require separate verification. No policy here limits mandatory consumer protections. Please contact us about fulfilment or a product problem using the contact form.
6. Changes, availability and disputes
We may change these rules and will show the updated version when appropriate. The service may be unavailable or changed. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Applicable consumer, privacy and other laws continue to apply.
