Quibble Creator Guidelines

We're creating Quibble to re-imagine the traditional reading experience by transforming books into collaborative art spaces and providing dynamic, immersive, and personalized reading adventures. As an evolving project, we are on a path of discovery, continuously shaping and enhancing the Quibble platform to achieve this vision.

Our Creator Guidelines are designed to foster a vibrant creative space while ensuring that all artists understand and respect intellectual property laws, as well as uphold a respectful, inclusive environment.

These guidelines outline the expectations and rules for using Quibble. Every creator on Quibble must follow these rules, and they apply to all parts of our evolving platform, including your posts, behaviors, and content distribution within book art projects. They are essential for creating a platform where creativity thrives without compromising the integrity of our community and international laws governing intellectual property and content distribution.

For those creators who may wish to monetize their book-related content in the future on Quibble, please note that we are currently still exploring and developing the necessary framework and legal guidelines. Detailed information on content monetization is provided in the Creator Monetization document. Additionally, please carefully read the Quibble Legal Framework documentation for a comprehensive understanding of our legal and commercial context. We encourage you to stay tuned for updates on this aspect as we refine our approach.

Our Trust & Safety team is dedicated to upholding these guidelines. We will review reports from users on Quibble, Quibble moderators, and other stakeholders, and will take enforcement actions if violations are discovered. This includes issuing warnings, removing content, or suspending accounts, and if required, reporting to relevant authorities.

If you encounter content, projects, or behavior on Quibble that you believe violates these guidelines, please get in touch with us on Discord and we will address it promptly and appropriately.

Respect and Act With Integrity Towards Other Members

1. Respectful interaction. As a creator on Quibble, you are expected to engage with others in a respectful manner. Avoid any behavior that could be considered harassment, bullying, or intimidation. This includes negative or hostile comments, personal attacks, or any form of targeted negativity towards other creators or users of Quibble.
2. Proper credit for shared artwork. If you share artwork created by other creators, you must provide appropriate credit to the original artist. This acknowledges their work and maintains the integrity and respect of our creative community.
3. Safe and positive environment. Do not post or promote content that threatens harm or encourages violence. This includes avoiding any language or content that suggests or glorifies violence or self-harm.
4. Privacy and confidentiality. Respect the privacy of others by not sharing or distributing personal information without consent. This includes any details about other creators or users that could compromise their privacy or security.
5. Inclusive and non-discriminatory content. Ensure that your content promotes inclusivity and does not discriminate against any individual or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other characteristics.
6. Child safety. Avoid creating or sharing content that could be harmful to minors, including any form of sexual content or materials that could be considered inappropriate for younger audiences.

Understand Quibble’s Legal And Commercial Framework

7. Legal considerations. Quibble is a nascent project dedicated to creating new opportunities for creators while establishing a robust legal framework that facilitates the distribution of fan art in a manner that benefits all stakeholders. Please refer to Legal Framework for more information.
8. Monetization restrictions. While Quibble supports the creation of book-related projects, we will strictly prohibit the monetization of any content based on books for which we do not yet have the necessary licensing agreements from authors or publishers. Please refer to Creator Monetization for more information.
9. Platform refinement. Your feedback and experience are vital as we continue to refine the Quibble platform. Whenever possible, we encourage you to engage with our team to share insights on how Quibble can better meet your needs and the needs of our creative community.

Respect The Law At All Times

10. Intellectual Property compliance. Ensure that all content you create respects intellectual property laws. Do not use or reproduce copyrighted material without proper authorization. This helps maintain a lawful environment and protects the rights of original content creators.
11. Originality. Only use content that you have created yourself. Strictly avoid using or replicating the work of other creators without proper authorization.
12. No engagement in illegal activities. Do not organize, promote, or engage in any activities that are illegal, whether directly on Quibble or as a result of interactions or content shared on our platform.
13. Unauthorized sales. Do not facilitate or participate in the sale of book-related content for which you do not have explicit permission from the author, publisher or Quibble. Thisincludes selling or distributing content derived from books that are not licensed by Quibble.
14. Facilitation of unauthorized transactions. Do not engage in any activities that encourage or enable illegal transactions involving book-related content, such as offering unauthorized access to copyrighted material or facilitating sales of such material.

If you encounter any content or activity on Quibble that seems to breach these guidelines, our Terms of Service, or other policies, please immediately report it to us on Discord .

These Creator Guidelines are dynamic and will evolve to address emerging threats and challenges. We may take action against content or accounts that violate the essence of these Guidelines, even if such behavior is not explicitly outlined in the current version.
