Community guidelines
These guidelines protect the conditions that make reading, reflection, disagreement, and youth voices possible.
Read with trust.
Read & Revive welcomes readers who want to learn with humility, ask better questions, and turn books into meaningful conversation. The circle is not a performance stage; it is a place to practice attention and respect.
Good discussion does not mean everyone agrees. It means disagreement is handled with care, privacy is respected, and no reader is pushed to share more than they choose.
1Challenge arguments, interpretations, and habits with care. Do not insult, mock, shame, harass, or target a reader because of identity, background, ability, belief, or level of experience.
2Do not repost another reader’s message, voice note, image, reflection, or name outside the group without permission. A thoughtful circle depends on trust.
If a reflection becomes a Voice, the writer’s permission and preferred public name should be clear before publication.
3Stay close to the reading cycle, the book, the prompt, or the community question being discussed. Useful tangents are welcome; spam, unrelated promotion, and repeated disruption are not.
4It is okay to miss a target, disagree with a book, or admit confusion. It is not okay to pretend another person’s reflection is yours, pressure people for answers, or present unverified claims as fact.
5Moderation should protect the reading environment. Depending on the situation, a moderator may redirect a thread, remove harmful content, ask for a pause, or limit participation in the community space.
Safety concerns, harassment, privacy violations, and repeated disruption should be raised through the available community contact path.
6Recognition should encourage consistency, thoughtful questions, generous listening, and carefully shaped reflections. It should not turn reading into a public ranking of people’s worth.
