General Conduct
All users must engage respectfully with others. Harassment, bullying, threats, or discriminatory behavior based on race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability is strictly prohibited. Constructive dialogue is encouraged, even in the case of disagreements. Users should strive for clear, courteous, and meaningful communication, avoiding inflammatory or provocative language.
Ethical participation also requires honesty and integrity. Users must refrain from spreading misinformation, false claims, or deceptive content. Any attempts to mislead others, manipulate interactions, or distort facts are violations of platform policy.

Content Sharing & Publication
All content, including posts, listings, comments, and media uploads, must adhere to ZenLake standards. Content should be original, accurate, and suitable for a diverse community. Users must not publish material that is illegal, harmful, misleading, plagiarized, or violates intellectual property rights. Content that promotes violence, illegal substances, scams, or malware is strictly forbidden.
Clear and accurate descriptions are mandatory for all posts and listings. Users should ensure titles, descriptions, and categories reflect the content honestly. Misrepresentation, exaggeration, or false claims may lead to removal of content or account restrictions. Responsible content sharing preserves credibility and ensures a positive experience for all members.
