Public channel / Conduct protocol
Reader Policy
The discussion channel exists for theories, reactions, questions, and thoughtful criticism. Keep it welcoming to readers entering the archive after you.
Respect the reader
Discuss the writing and ideas without attacking the person behind a comment. Harassment, threats, hate speech, sexual harassment, and attempts to expose private information are not allowed.
Protect the story
A chapter discussion may contain information from that chapter and all earlier chapters. Clearly warn readers before discussing unreleased material, author notes, leaks, or major information from elsewhere.
Keep the channel useful
Spam, impersonation, repetitive promotion, malicious links, and automated posting may be removed. Constructive criticism is welcome; disruption for its own sake is not.
Moderation
Comments may be hidden or removed, and accounts may be blocked, when necessary to protect readers or the discussion. Decisions consider context, repetition, and severity.
