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.

Consequences for Violations

  • Warning for first-time minor violations
  • Temporary suspension for repeated minor violations or first-time major violations
  • Permanent ban for severe violations or continued disregard for guidelines
  • Immediate ban for illegal content, harassment, or hate speech
