WriterShelf is an open platform for anyone to write their views and opinions.
We don’t review articles before they are published. We believe free expression deserves freedom, so we believe the best response to bad ideas is good ideas, and feedback from the community.
We ask that you publish in English and that you use respect and treat others like you would want to be treated.
The Rules
Threats of violence and incitement
Don’t threaten, encourage, or incite violence against anyone, directly or indirectly.
Hate speech
We don’t allow content that promotes violence or hatred against people based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, age, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.
Harassment
WriterShelf exists to share and discuss ideas, not to exact revenge. We don’t tolerate harassment, which includes:
Bullying or shaming someone, or posting things likely to encourage others to do so
Posting copies of private communications between private individuals without the explicit consent of all parties to the communication
Doxing, which includes not only private or obscure personal information but also the aggregation of publicly available information to target, shame, blackmail, harass, intimidate, or endanger
Using WriterShelf features in a way intended to annoy or harass someone
Posting intimate or explicit images taken or posted without the subject’s express consent.
Spam
Don’t use WriterShelf for spamming. Spam will be immediately removed from WriterShelf. While it is hard to precisely define this content, here are characteristics we look for:
Posting content primarily to drive traffic to, or increase the search rankings of, an external site
Reposting content from other sources for the primary purpose of generating revenue or other personal gain. If you have received compensation, free goods/services, or anything of value in connection with the topic of a post, you must make this clear.
Posting duplicate content, whether from a single account or across multiple accounts
Performing a large number of account interactions in a short time period, particularly by automated means.
Repeatedly using comments or other interactions as a method of promotion.
Paid, automatic, bulk, or non-genuine interactions
WriterShelf depends on various user actions — like follows and likes — to determine what content to feature. We don’t allow artificial behaviors that skew this system.
Don’t buy, sell, or trade in account interactions — including follows, likes or comments
Don’t use services, apps, or arrangements that offer you more follows, comments, or other interactions on your WriterShelf content
Don’t register accounts, post content, or interact with content automatically, systematically, or programmatically
Copyright and trademark infringement
Respect the copyrights and trademarks of others. Unless you’re authorized to use someone else’s copyrighted work or trademark, don’t use it.
Deceptive conduct
Don’t use WriterShelf for phishing or fraud. Don’t use tags, links, titles, or other metadata in a misleading way. Don’t link to or embed malicious or harmful code or software in your posts. Don’t use deception to generate revenue or traffic.
Pornography and graphic content
Don’t post pornographic images or videos. Erotic writing and non-graphic erotic images are OK. Don’t post gratuitously graphic or disturbing media, even if it’s not pornographic.
Exploitation of minors
Don’t post anything promoting the sexual or violent exploitation of children.
Privacy violations
Don’t post content that violates others’ privacy, including personally identifying or confidential information such as credit card numbers, identity numbers, non-public phone numbers, physical addresses, email addresses, or other non-public information.
Promotion and glorification of self-harm
Don’t encourage, promote or glorify acts of self-harm, such as cutting, eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia, and suicide.
