Where these apply
These guidelines cover everything a member publishes or says on readerxo: works and their descriptions, covers, profiles and handles, club names and rooms, live sessions, discussion posts, direct messages, and reviews. They apply the same way to a host on air as to a reader posting a comment.
Harassment and bullying
Do not target a person with threats, insults, sexual harassment, or sustained unwanted contact. Do not organize others to pile on. Criticism of a book, an argument, or an idea is not harassment. Targeting the person who made it is.
Hate and dehumanizing content
Do not attack or dehumanize people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, disability, disease, age, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, or veteran status. A work may depict prejudice as subject matter; promoting it is different from portraying it.
Violence and graphic content
Do not threaten violence, incite it, or celebrate it. Do not post graphic material for shock value. Literary violence in a published work is allowed; readerxo may still gate it behind a content warning.
Child safety
readerxo is for adults. You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, and a minimum of 13 in every case. Sexual content involving minors is prohibited absolutely, in any form, including written, drawn, or generated. Reports in this category are escalated immediately and referred to the authorities where required by law.
Adult content
Written work for adults is permitted. Pornographic imagery, sexual solicitation, and sexually explicit live video are not. A work carrying adult themes must be labelled honestly so a reader can decide before opening it.
Self-harm
Do not encourage suicide, self-injury, or disordered eating, and do not give instructions for them. Work that treats these subjects seriously is allowed. readerxo may attach a support resource to it.
Impersonation and authentic identity
Do not present yourself as another person, author, or organization, and do not run a club or handle that implies an affiliation you do not have. A pen name is fine. Passing yourself off as someone real is not. Only the owner of readerxo may appear as Owner or Admin.
Spam, scams, and deceptive practices
Do not post repetitive or automated content, inflate views, memberships, or engagement, sell or transfer accounts, or use readerxo to run a scheme that takes money under false pretences. Do not mislead a reader about what a paid work, club, or series contains.
Regulated and illegal goods
Do not use readerxo to sell or facilitate the sale of drugs, weapons, counterfeit items, stolen credentials, or anything else whose sale is unlawful where the transaction occurs.
Misinformation that causes harm
Do not present fabricated claims as fact where doing so risks physical, financial, or civic harm. Fiction is not misinformation. The line is whether a reasonable reader is meant to act on it as true.
Reporting
Report anything on this list through Support. Include a link and enough detail to find it. Reports are reviewed against these guidelines, not against how strongly the reporter disagrees with the content.
