Community Guidelines
Inkbreaker is a place for writers who care about the craft. These guidelines describe what we expect from everyone here. They are written in plain language, and they sit alongside our Terms and Conditions. The short version: be honest, be kind, keep your work your own, and keep your community here on Inkbreaker.
Be kind and constructive
Treat other writers the way you would want to be treated. Disagreement and honest critique are welcome. Personal attacks, pile-ons, and hostility are not. When you give feedback, aim to help someone grow, not to tear them down.
Keep your work your own
Only post writing and images that are yours or that you have the right to share. Passing off someone else’s work as your own, or infringing on another person’s copyright, is not allowed.
No harassment or hate
Targeted harassment, threats, and content that attacks people based on who they are have no place here. This applies in your writing, your comments, your feedback, and your messages.
Keep exchanges on Inkbreaker
When you connect with other members, whether about feedback, collaboration, or commissioned work, keep the conversation and any arrangements on Inkbreaker. Asking someone to move to another platform, or to share contact or payment details off Inkbreaker, is not allowed. This is a safety measure. On the platform, our moderation, records, and support can help protect everyone involved; off the platform, they cannot, and that is where scams and bad experiences tend to happen. Sharing and commissioning creative work is welcome. Taking those arrangements off Inkbreaker is not.
No spam or unwanted promotion
Do not use Inkbreaker to post unsolicited advertising, repeated self-promotion, or link spam. Sharing your own work in the normal course of being part of the community is fine; flooding the platform to promote something is not.
Protect minors
Any sexualization of a minor is strictly prohibited and is reported and acted on immediately. There are no exceptions.
Give feedback in good faith
Feedback is one of the best things about Inkbreaker. Offer it honestly and in good faith. Feedback written to demean, mislead, or game the system, rather than to genuinely help a writer, is not welcome.
What happens if a guideline is broken
Most issues are handled with a warning: we remove the content and let you know what happened and why, and your account stays in good standing. If the behavior continues, or in serious cases, we may suspend the account. We aim to be fair and to explain our reasoning, and we know we do not always have the full picture.
If you think we got it wrong
We are human, and so is our moderation. If you believe we made a mistake, reply to the notice you received or contact us at support@spiffai.com, and a real person will take another look.
