Everyone belongs in Fable Reading Clubs

Community Guidelines for Clubs on Fable

  • Fable clubs must not feature hate speech of any form. Attacking a person or a community based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities or other attributes will result in removal of any public club from Fable.
  • Fable clubs must not share any user's private information (such as home phone number or address). Members must not threaten to expose anyone’s private information or help others to do so.
  • Fable clubs must not feature obscene, lewd, or pornographic content. This includes any links to videos, podcasts, images, or other media that contains this type of content.
  • Fable clubs must not promote the ridicule, mocking, disparagement, intimidation, harassment, or abuse of anyone. This includes repetitive or severely negative comments that may cross the line into harassment, as well as wishing or imagining the abuse of another person.
  • Fable clubs must not incite or threaten physical harm against another, or encourage self-harm or suicide. This includes, but is not limited to, encouraging others to cut themselves, or embrace eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. Fable book clubs must not advocate the violent overthrow of any government. This includes the promotion of terrorism or extremist violence.
  • In general, Fable book clubs must not promote, encourage, or engage in any illegal behavior, including the sale, purchase, or sharing of illegal goods or services. This will result in removal of any public club from Fable, the Fable account associated with the moderator/member may be revoked.
Public clubs are open for all Fable users to join. Private clubs are limited to those who have been invited by the club moderator. All public club content is subject to review by club moderators, Fable admin, and Fable support at any time. Moderators are responsible for reviewing posts made inside a public club and users posting inside a public club, with Fable admin reviewing as needed. Once reviewed, any content in violation can be removed at the moderator or Fable admin’s discretion, and a user may be removed from a public club for violating the Fable Community Guidelines. In addition, public clubs that violate Fable Community Guidelines may be made private or removed from Fable. If you see any activity that violates Fable Community Guidelines, please report it to us here.Fable admins do not review content in a private club unless it potentially violates the law or threatens the life or safety of a user, so such violations must be reported. In private clubs, Fable moderators exercise their own judgment about when and how to use their moderator powers to uphold the trust ad safety of their community.
