Community rules
Signed-in readers can rate and review comics and novels, and comment on the chapters they can read. These rules keep that a good place to talk about the stories.
The rules
- Be kind. Disagree with a story or with another reader as much as you like, but talk about the work, not the person.
- No harassment, hate or threats. No insults, slurs, bullying or threats of any kind, against anyone.
- No spoilers outside the spoiler box. If you give away what happens, tick “It contains spoilers” so your post shows collapsed.
- No ads, links or self-promotion. Don’t sell anything or point readers somewhere else. Links don’t work here anyway: posts are plain text.
- No personal information. Don’t share your own or anyone else’s real name, address, phone number, email or accounts elsewhere.
- Stay on the story. Reviews are about the comic or book, and comments are about the chapter they sit under.
Comicwell is for readers 16 and over, and so are reviews and comments. You post under a reader name you choose; your email is never shown.
Reporting
If a review or comment breaks these rules, use Report under it and pick a reason. Reports are private: the reader you report never sees your report or who sent it.
When 3 different readers report the same review or comment, it is hidden at once until a moderator looks at it.
What moderators can do
- Hide a review or comment while they look at it, and show it again if it is fine.
- Remove a review or comment that breaks the rules. A removed comment that others replied to shows as “Comment removed”, so the replies still make sense.
- Ban a reader who breaks the rules badly or again and again. A banned reader can still read, but can no longer rate, review, comment, like or report, and everything they posted is hidden.
If a moderator hides or removes your review or comment, or 3 reports hide it, you see a notice the next time you are signed in on comicwell.com: on your Account page and on the page where it was, with the reason. Dismiss it when you have read it. If a moderator shows it again, the notice tells you it is visible again.
Readers on the Comicwell team post with a “Comicwell Team” badge. Their ratings never count towards a story’s rating.
Appeals
If you think we got it wrong, email support@comicwell.com with your reader name, the page and what the notice said. A moderator looks at it again, and a hidden post that is fine is shown again. We’ll reply as soon as we can.
Blocking
Use Block under a review or comment to stop seeing anything that reader posts. Blocking hides their posts only for you; everyone else still sees them, and the reader is not told. You can unblock them from your reader name page in Account.
Deleting your own posts
Use Delete under your own review or comment, or in Your posts on your Account page (it lists all of them, also hidden ones), then Yes, delete. It can’t be undone. Deleting a review keeps your star rating; use Remove my rating next to the stars to clear it too. A comment that others replied to stays only as “Comment removed”, without your name or your text, so their replies still make sense. A post a moderator removed can’t be deleted this way: it is kept for an appeal, and support@comicwell.com deletes it on request.
If you delete your account
Your ratings, reviews, comments, likes, reports, blocks and notices are deleted with it, and your reader name is freed. A comment that others replied to stays only as “Comment removed”, without your name or your text, so their replies still make sense. See Delete your account.
