Code of Conduct
A community, held with care.
These are the expectations every member accepts on joining - and the promises we make to each other in return.
Read generously
Bring good faith to every book and every reader - even in disagreement.
Discuss with rigor
Argue with the text, not the person. Cite pages, not personalities.
No harassment, ever
Personal attacks, slurs, and coordinated harm result in immediate removal.
Respect privacy
What is shared in the community stays in the community.
Vote honestly
Awards are earned. Vote for merit, never for allegiance.
Moderators are here
Our team enforces these standards with transparency and consistency.
Moderator Team
Enforcement is transparent.
HDWR moderators are readers themselves. Warnings, removals, and appeals are logged. Members always know why a decision was made.
