Welcome to Plotterati! We’re thrilled to have you join us on your writing journey. Our forums are a space for writers to connect, share ideas, support each other, and grow their craft. To ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone, we ask that you please follow these guidelines:
Respect:
- Be respectful of all members, regardless of their background, experience level, writing style, or personal opinions.
- Avoid personal attacks, insults, harassment, bullying, or discriminatory language.
- Engage in civil discourse, even when disagreeing with someone’s opinion.
Content:
- Stay on topic within the designated forum section.
- Avoid posting spam, advertising, or irrelevant content.
- Respect copyright and intellectual property rights.
- Flag any inappropriate content you encounter to moderators.
- Use trigger-warnings to give people the chance to avoid content they may find triggering.
- We ask people to avoid using AI to write content on the forum.
Safety:
- Do not share personal information about yourself or others without their consent.
- Be mindful of online safety guidelines, especially when engaging with minors.
- Report any suspicious activity or potential safety concerns to moderators.
General:
- Use clear and concise language.
- Use the search function before starting a new thread to see if your question has already been addressed.
- Follow moderator instructions and decisions respectfully.
- If you have any questions or concerns, or see content that violates these terms, please contact a moderator.
Additional Notes:
We have separate forum sections for different genres and topics. Please post in the most relevant section for your content.
We have a dedicated section for writers under 18 (coming soon). Please respect the age restrictions and maintain a safe and appropriate environment.
We reserve the right to remove any content or ban any user who violates these rules. In most cases, we will use a three-strike system – warning users who post inappropriate content, and avoiding bans unless they continue to post inappropriately. In cases of threats, doxxing, or safety, we will ban users immediately and alert the proper authorities as needed. We want the forums to be an open environment for people to interact but must prioritize safety and respect.
Remember, the most important thing is to be kind, helpful, and supportive! We believe that by working together, we can create a vibrant and inspiring writing community for everyone.
