Community guidelines

Storivelle Code of Conduct

Welcome to our global community. Because we dive deep into literature and bring together readers from different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives, our discussions will naturally invite varying interpretations. This Code of Conduct exists to ensure our space remains constructive, safe, and intellectually engaging for everyone.

Read to Understand, Discuss to Learn

Respect the Craft

We are here to analyze the author's work, character choices, and narrative structures. Critique the writing, the themes, or the arguments within a book constructively, but keep discussions grounded in the text itself.

Embrace Differing Views

A book can mean something entirely different to someone from another part of the world. Listen to alternative interpretations with curiosity rather than defensiveness. Disagreements are welcome; dismissiveness is not.

Guard the Reading Experience

Always Tag Spoilers

Since we read at different paces during our Quarterly Challenges, never post major plot twists, endings, or character fates without a clear warning. Let every reader experience the book cover-to-cover for themselves.

Keep Discussions on Track

Avoid cluttering dedicated reading and digest channels with unrelated promotions, spam, or off-topic chatter.

Cultivate a Safe, Global Space

Zero Tolerance for Discrimination

We are a borderless community. Any form of harassment, racism, sexism, xenophobia, religious intolerance, or hate speech will result in an immediate and permanent ban.

No Elitism or Gatekeeping

There is no "right" way to interpret art, and no reader is superior for preferring one genre over another. Whether someone reads physically, digitally, or via audiobook, treat all members as equal peers.

Engagement and Integrity

No AI Summaries

We are a human-centric community built on genuine comprehension. Do not copy and paste AI-generated summaries, book analyses, or reviews into the discussion channels. We want your thoughts, your critiques, and your unique voice.

Respect Privacy

Keep conversations that happen within our private discussion groups inside the community. Do not screenshot or share members' personal reflections without their explicit consent.

Enforcement

If you experience or witness behavior that violates these guidelines, please contact a community moderator immediately. We review all reports promptly and impartially to protect the health of our reading space.
