Content Guidelines
Last Update: 26th June 2026
These Content Guidelines exist to set clear expectations around what types of content align with the spirit of Quibble, where we draw the line when it comes to unacceptable or harmful content, and the level of structure and prose required for the story to be selected for the Quibble Collection label and thus be eligible for monetization on the platform.
For our binding policies, refer to the Publishing Terms (Coming Soon) .
Content We're Looking For
We value original, thoughtful, and intentional stories created by the submitting author.
We look for content that reflects originality, authorship, and intention. We value creative work that brings something meaningful, whether it being artistic, emotional, cultural, or intellectual, to readers.
We welcome stories that offer fresh perspectives, explore underrepresented experiences, and thoughtfully engage with the world around them. Writing should be clear, coherent, and formatted in a way that supports a positive reading experience. We do not expect perfection, but we do expect thoughtfulness and integrity.
Submissions should be created by the user applying to publish them and must not be copied, repurposed, or submitted on someone else's behalf without proper rights.
Content That's Not Allowed
Plagiarism, gratuitous explicit content, hate speech, harassment, or extremist material are not accepted.
Certain types of content violate the standards of the platform and may not be considered for publication on the platform:
- Plagiarized work or content that infringes on someone else's intellectual property
- Visual content, including explicit sex scenes presented without narrative purpose
- Excessive violence or abuse, especially where it is graphic, sensationalized, or lacks sufficient narrative justification
- Hate speech, including content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or violence against marginalized groups
- Harassment or threats, including targeted abuse toward individuals, communities, or readers
- Politically inflammatory or ideologically extreme content, including works that advocate for the oppression, denial of existence, or displacement of entire groups of people, or that reduce complex political conflicts to harmful, one-sided narratives
Quibble reserves the right to assess context when making decisions about content. What may be appropriate in one narrative might not be in another.
Handling Sensitive Content
Use clear warnings for sensitive themes. Avoid gratuitous trauma and write responsibly.
We understand that storytelling often involves complex or heavy topics. Authors should:
- Use clear content warnings for material that includes themes like abuse, self-harm, violence, or sexual assault
- Avoid gratuitous or exploitative depictions of trauma
- Write responsibly when addressing real-world issues or events
Quibble may restrict or label certain stories to protect readers. Content warnings don't excuse a violation of our standards, but they do allow readers to make informed choices.
Artwork and Visual Content
Artwork must be properly licensed or used with the artist’s explicit permission.
Visual elements such as cover art, character illustrations, or environment art are an important part of storytelling on Quibble. When submitting content that includes artwork, creators must ensure that all visuals are properly licensed, or created with explicit permission from the artist.
Reporting and Enforcement
Report violations through in-app tools or Discord. Enforcement ranges from labels to removal or suspension.
If you come across content that appears to violate these guidelines, you can report it directly through our in-app tools or by contacting our moderation team on our Discord server. Every report is taken seriously. Quibble's editorial and moderation teams assess each case based on the specific context and the severity of the issue.
When necessary, we may respond by limiting the visibility of content, applying warning labels, restricting certain account functions, or removing the content entirely. In cases of repeated or particularly serious violations, we may suspend the account involved. These actions are taken at our discretion to maintain the integrity of the platform and protect the community as a whole.
These Guidelines May Evolve
Guidelines will change as Quibble grows. Revisit them regularly for updates.
Quibble is a living platform. As Quibble's community grows and changes, so may these guidelines. We encourage all users and creators to revisit them from time to time. If you ever have questions or want clarity, we're here to help.
