PaGaLGuY Channels is a platform for free sharing of ideas, opinions and experiences in article or blog format. However, it is governed by rules and guidelines that help it remain a meaningful and comfortable place for everyone.
Here is a list of things you should NOT do on Channels.
Thou shall not be Abusive
Do not write hateful, vilifying or slanderous material. Although Channels rests on the foundations of free speech, it is the coherently and logically articulated type of free speech that we value. Do not make personal attacks, use abusive language or slander without proof.
Do not make personal attacks on other members in comments, discussions and private communications. If you are a victim of such an abuse from another member, please report the event to PaGaLGuY Moderators.
Thou shall not Copy what is Not Yours
Do not copy or pass off material that you haven’t written as your own. Do not merely copy-paste somebody else’s work in its entirety. If you are using or referencing someone else’s creative work to assist your story, do credit them with an link-back or seek their explicit permission and inform your readers of their courtesy. It is your duty to explicitly signal these references in your article. We reserve the right to take down material that violates someone else’s copyright or infringes on their trademarks.
In the same vein, do not impersonate someone or fake belonging to a group, unless it is explicitly in a humorous or satirical frame.
Thou shall not Spam
Do not use Channels to sneakily generate revenue or traffic or for the central purpose of advertising or affiliate marketing. Do not post advertisements disguised as articles. Do not post the same content repeatedly or post using multiple accounts. Absolutely under no circumstances shall you embed any malicious code or crafty tags in your submissions.
You may write a short bio of yourself by adding it to the Signature field on your profile or the end of the article and include a link-back to your website/social media presence. But you shall not do self-promotion within the article content.
Thou shall not post Sexual or Violent Material
Do not post adult content in any form (text, pictures, videos) or other inappropriate material that glorifies violence, dangerous superstition and occult belief or self-harm.
All right reserved with Editors
The decision of Editors and Administrators with regards to which article stays and which doesn’t shall be final and binding.
