Respect Each Other Treat all members with kindness and respect. Discrimination, harassment, or abusive language will not be tolerated. Disagreements are fine, but please keep conversations civil and constructive.
Stay On-Topic Keep discussions relevant to horror, writing, and Dark Holme Publishing. Off-topic posts should be posted in the Lounge section of the forum. Posts that do not adhere to the topic will be moved or removed.
No Plagiarism All work shared on the forum must be your original creation. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited and will result in a ban from the forum.
Respect Privacy Never share personal information about others without their consent. Respect each other’s privacy and boundaries both online and offline.
No Hate Speech or Offensive Content Hate speech, threats, or harmful content have no place here. We encourage dark stories, but they must never come at the expense of respect for others.
Constructive Feedback giving feedback, make it constructive and helpful. Everyone is here to learn and grow, so critiques should always be aimed at improving and encouraging others.
Limit Self-Promotion Share your work and projects, but avoid excessive self-promotion. Spamming of personal links or promotional content is not allowed. Use designated spaces for promotions.
Follow Section-Specific Rules Each section of the forum may have its own set of guidelines. Be sure to read and follow these rules, especially when submitting stories, art, or engaging in discussion.
No Explicit or Graphic Content While we embrace horror, explicit or overly graphic content should be avoided unless it’s suitable for a general audience. Keep the atmosphere eerie but tasteful.
Stay Inclusive This space is for all horror fans, regardless of background or identity. We value diverse perspectives and inclusive conversations.
Use Appropriate Language Be mindful of your language. Swearing or offensive terms should be used sparingly, especially in spaces where younger or more sensitive members may be present.
