Community Guidelines

BestExperimentIdeas exists for one thing: science and engineering projects that other people can understand, evaluate and build. Everything here should serve that. We are deliberately not a general marketplace or a general social network.

• Science experiments with a question, method and measurable results.
• Engineering and design projects, prototypes and builds.
• Educational and classroom projects, including science-fair work.
• Research, thesis and capstone projects presented for others to learn from.
• Maker projects with a documented method and materials list.
• Reproducible builds — clear materials, tools, steps and results others can repeat.
• Constructive discussion: questions, results, corrections and improvements.

• Illegal activity, or instructions that help someone break the law.
• Dangerous instructions intended to cause harm to people, animals or property.
• Weapons or weapon construction.
• Explosives, energetic materials and pyrotechnic devices.
• Harmful biological experimentation, including pathogen culture or work on vertebrate animals that causes distress or injury.
• Dangerous chemical instructions, including synthesis of toxic, controlled or unstable substances.
• Fraud, scams and deceptive monetisation.
• Harassment, bullying, threats and targeted abuse.
• Hate speech or content that attacks people for who they are.
• Sexual content, and any sexualisation of minors.
• Doxxing or posting anyone's private information, including other students' details.
• Spam, bulk posting and automated content flooding.
• Copyright infringement — text, images, video or datasets you do not have the right to publish.
• Misleading scientific claims, especially health, medical or safety claims presented as established.
• Fake or fabricated results, invented data, and results you did not actually measure.
• Manipulated reviews, ratings, follows or build counts, including reciprocal-rating schemes.
• Commercial spam unrelated to a project, affiliate dumping and lead-generation posts.

Report what you actually measured, including runs that failed or disagreed with your hypothesis. Say when a result is a single run, when conditions were uncontrolled, and when you are estimating. A negative or messy result documented honestly is worth more here than a clean result that did not happen.

Declare hazards honestly, list the protective equipment and supervision a build needs, and do not omit a risk to make a project look more approachable. Projects declaring significant hazards go to human review before publishing. See the Science & Safety Disclaimer.

Every project and comment can be reported. We review reports and may remove content, unlist a project, require edits, restrict features or close an account. Minor first breaches are usually handled with a removal and an explanation; deliberate, harmful or repeated breaches are not. Details are in the Content Policy.
