Community guidelines
The Reader Table works because members are honest, kind and careful with each other's work.
Respect the work
- Never share, redistribute or sell reading copies.
- Don't upload someone's manuscript to AI tools or other services without the rights holder's explicit permission.
- Only upload books and files you have the rights to share.
Be honest
- Feedback must reflect your own reading. Say how much you read.
- No review swaps, paid reviews, or pressure to leave positive ratings.
- Disclose AI-generated books when listing them.
Be kind
Critique the book, not the person. No harassment, hate speech, threats or sharing private information.
Community forum
- The forum is members-only and free for Readers and Authors. Members-only does not mean confidential — every signed-in member can read your posts.
- Not allowed: harassment, discrimination, spam, review pressure, coordinated review exchanges, and sharing private material without permission.
- Self-promotion belongs only in the labelled Promotions category, one post per member per week.
- Community answers are not official support. Never post passwords, payment details or private documents — use private support for billing, account access and disputes.
- Posts, replies and "helpful" marks never earn credits.
Moderation
Moderators can review reports, remove content, adjust credits with a recorded reason, and suspend accounts that break these guidelines. Report problems through Contact & support or the report button on a book.
