Most of these rules are common sense that you’ll find in pretty well any other community.
Any posts hateful or discriminatory of others on the basis of culture, race, sexual orientation, political preference, gender, religious or spiritual beliefs are prohibited. This includes trolling and personal attacks as well. Be kind and respectful. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Respectful free speech is permitted. Respectful disagreement is permitted. Be mindful to keep any disagreements respectful. If a resolution can not be agreed upon, agree to disagree and part ways.
No spamming or advertising. You may share your personal website, social media, books/writing, or art with others, but be mindful to only do so if it is relevant and incorporated naturally into conversation.
Do not share or post anything illegal under USA & Canada law.
Nothing malicious is permitted, be it against this platform or any of the users of this platform. (Scams, phishing, malware, viruses, doxing, bots, tampering, hacking, etc.) Accounts found to be involved in any malicious behavior will result in a permanent ban from both the community and webring (if applicable).
No explicit material. While this is an 18+ community that allows for mature discussion, explicitly graphic media including links, images, and video is not permitted, be it overly sexual (pornographic), violent, or gruesome in nature.
Spoilers are permitted. However, if your posts include spoilers, be sure to include a disclaimer at the start of your post.
Do not share anyone’s personal or private information, including your own. Our community is open for public viewing, and while you do have control over some privacy settings, our community is publicly viewable so do not share what you are not comfortable with being seen.
Last but not least, keep things relevant. This is a small web bookish community and posts here should be primarily focused on bookish topics.
Thanks for helping keep this an enjoyable space for everyone!
