📚 Reading Community Terms and Conditions
Welcome to our Reading Community! We’re excited to have you join us in sharing the love of books, engaging in thoughtful discussion, and supporting one another through reading. To maintain a positive and respectful environment for all members, the following Terms and Conditions apply:
1. Respectful Conduct
All members are expected to treat one another with kindness and courtesy. We encourage diverse opinions and open dialogue, but respectful communication is mandatory at all times.
2. Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes—but is not limited to—comments or content that promote or incite:
-
Racism

Sexism
-
Homophobia or transphobia
-
Ableism
-
Religious intolerance
-
Harassment or personal attacks
Violation of this policy may result in immediate removal from the community.
3. No Author Bashing
Constructive criticism is welcome, but personal attacks against authors are strictly prohibited. Members may express opinions about books, but any content that aims to demean, insult, or defame authors will be removed.
4. No Book Bashing
Disliking a book is okay. Everyone has different tastes. However, we expect members to express their views without resorting to name-calling, belittling, or mocking others' preferences. Focus on discussing the content, not tearing it down.
5. Constructive Discussions Only
Healthy debates and differing views are encouraged, but must remain civil and constructive. Avoid inflammatory language, sarcasm intended to provoke, or any tone that could be seen as hostile.
6. Moderator Rights
Moderators reserve the right to remove posts, comments, or members that violate these terms, without warning, in order to preserve the community’s safety and integrity.
7. Reporting Issues
If you encounter behavior that violates these terms, please report it to a moderator. All reports will be taken seriously and handled with confidentiality.
