Community Guidelines
Our community thrives when everyone contributes positively. These guidelines help ensure Novel Rankings remains a welcoming space for readers and authors alike.
Be Respectful
Treat all community members with respect. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, and discrimination will not be tolerated. Disagreements should be handled civilly and constructively.
Constructive Feedback
When reviewing novels or commenting, provide constructive criticism. Explain your thoughts clearly and avoid inflammatory language. Authors work hard on their stories and deserve thoughtful feedback.
No Spoilers Without Warning
Always use spoiler tags when discussing plot points, character deaths, or major revelations. Mark your spoilers clearly and specify which chapters they relate to.
Honest Reviews
Write honest and genuine reviews based on your reading experience. Don't manipulate ratings through multiple accounts or coordinated voting. Reviews should reflect your true opinion.
Appropriate Content
Keep discussions appropriate for the platform. Explicit content should be properly tagged. Don't share illegal content, graphic violence descriptions, or content that violates our terms of service.
Fair Use
Don't spam, advertise without permission, or use the platform for self-promotion in inappropriate ways. Share content that adds value to the community.
