Community engagement and True Reader Points

True Reader Points are intended to reward genuine participation. Reading stories, leaving thoughtful comments, sharing honest ratings, and interacting naturally with authors are always welcome. Repetitive or artificial engagement, unsolicited promotion, coordinated activity, or activity mainly intended to farm points may not earn TRP and may lead to commenting or TRP earning restrictions.

Be cautious of comments that repeatedly promote services or ask you to move the conversation to Discord, WhatsApp, email, phone, or another external channel. If something looks like spam or suspicious solicitation, use the report option on the story or comment.

Writing and Publishing

Paid stories are available only while the author has active Pro Author access. When access ends, paid stories move to Draft rather than becoming Free. Active Featured placements are suspended. Existing reader subscriptions do not renew, while readers who already paid can continue reading until their current paid period ends. Renewing Pro does not automatically republish stories or restore Featured placement.
