Help us keep the Pagebound community welcoming, vibrant, and kind. Violence, harassment, and other similar types of behavior discourage people from expressing themselves and harm everyone in our community. Our rules are to ensure all people can participate in the reading community and conversation freely and safely. If you violate these rules, your account will be deactivated immediately.

Violent & Hateful Entities: You cannot affiliate with or promote the activities of violent and hateful entities.

Child Safety: We have zero tolerance for any forms of child sexual exploitation and remove content describing physical child abuse to prevent the normalization of violence against children.
