Building Our Reading Community

While Bookmarkd's full community features are still in development, these guidelines set the foundation for how we'll interact when discussion posts, book clubs, and shared rankings arrive. Let's create a space where every reader feels welcome to explore, learn, and share safely.

Quick Overview

1

Be Respectful

Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Disagreements about books are fine; personal attacks are not. It's okay to debate whether a book is overrated, but don't attack someone for their opinion.

2

Keep it Relevant

Posts and comments should focus on books, reading, and related discussions. Avoid unrelated content, spam, or self-promotion.

3

Protect Privacy

Do not share personal information about yourself or others. Avoid posting emails, phone numbers, or private addresses. Keep discussions focused on books and reading experiences rather than personal details.

4

No Harassment or Hate Speech

Zero tolerance for bullying, threats, or discriminatory language based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristics. Bookmarkd is a place for all readers to feel welcome and safe. Hateful behavior has no place in our community.

5

Report Problems

If you see inappropriate content, flag it or contact support immediately. We rely on users like you to help maintain a safe space. Don't engage with problematic content. report it. All reported posts are reviewed promptly and we'll take appropriate action.
