Every post on Read2Reason is public — anyone can read it. Before you save, check yours against these.
Write about reading
Books, authors, ideas, the reading life. Reviews, essays, reading journals, lists and arguments are all welcome — adverts and sales pitches are not.
Follow Read2Reason’s community rules
The same rules as everywhere on the site (Privacy and terms, section 11): treat people with respect and courtesy. No harassment, threats or discrimination, and nothing illegal.
No abusive, hateful or vulgar content
Disagree as strongly as you like with a book or an idea, never attack a person. No obscene words or pictures, and nothing sexually explicit.
Use only words and pictures you have the right to use
Write in your own words. Quote a book briefly — a short passage, credited to its book and author — never whole chapters. Add only pictures you took or made yourself, or that you have permission to use. Copying someone else’s article or photo without permission breaks copyright law.
Mark spoilers
If you give away an ending or a twist, say so near the top, so readers can choose.
Keep people’s private details out
Don’t publish anyone’s address, phone number, email or private messages — yours included.
Readers decide what stays
Anyone can give a post stars. Once a post has 10 ratings, if more than 70% are two stars or fewer, it comes off the Blog page and we tell you. The site manager may also take down a post that breaks these guidelines.
