Rules of Common Ground

Because Kotonoki does not require identity verification, we rely on clear, strict community standards to ensure branches remain peaceful and constructive spaces for everyone.

Prohibited Content

• Spam and Commercial Flooding: Automated posting, affiliate dumps, and SEO farming are strictly forbidden and rate-limited.
• Malicious Links & Phishing: Any attempt to deceive, harm, or infect readers will result in immediate removal.
• Harassment & Doxxing: Never publish personal identifying information (real names, addresses, phone numbers) of other people.
• Illegal or Dangerous Material: Dispatches containing unlawful, dangerous, or exploitative material will be struck immediately.

Moderation & Reporting

Every dispatch includes a lightweight Report action with a flag icon. Anyone may flag dispatches that violate common ground rules. Reports are reviewed by site operators and actioned promptly.

The Strike Guarantee

As an author, you retain the permanent right to Strike your own dispatch. When you strike a dispatch, the writing record is permanently expunged from the database, and any uploaded image file is immediately and synchronously unlinked from server storage.
