Rote Rules

Rote is intended to make it free for people to share their writing publicly on the internet. Who you are does not matter but what you share does matter. Simply, don't be shy and don't be an asshole. You are not free to express intolerant, hateful, violent or cruel content.

We won't tolerate:

• Discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease
• Targeted harassment of someone, or incitement of other people to do so
• Threats or promotion of terrorism or violent extremism
• Threats of violence against an individual or a group of people
• Glorification of violence
• Advertising or promotion of any services or pages
• Posts from bots posting from third-party news sources
• Xenophobic or violent nationalism
• Sharing of private information without their express authorization and permission

Rote is not affiliated with any organisation or public body. Our moderators will decide whether to remove content, suspend or ban accounts from using the service. Their decision is final.

These rules will be regularly updated.
