Discussions and feedback
Critique the work rather than attacking the person. Mark spoilers, avoid publishing private beta material, and do not use feedback access to solicit, threaten, or pressure another participant.
Reports and rights complaints
Use the report control on a book or discussion for safety, copyright, privacy, rating, or integrity concerns. Readerous may hide material during review and preserve the minimum evidence needed to resolve the report.
