A world without rules breeds chaos. This is a little something to maintain order within the profile and community, and to also make sure everyone's experience is pleasurable one.

Don't vs Do

Advertising:

DON'T - Please don't post the link to your story on someone else's message board or in the comments of their stories (unless stated that you may).

DO - You can enquire on how to share or promote your story. It's natural to want some love on your amazing stories. Hard work deserves recognition.

DON'T - Don't go around hassling people to read your story with no intent of returning the favour.

DO - You can politely ask someone to review your story and leave feedback. Your request may be considered preferably if you offered the same in return.

Votes:

Votes:

DON'T - Do not get involved with vote trading, offer votes as a reward or bribe people with votes.This is called Vote trading and is against Wattpad policy.

DO - You should only vote if you enjoy/support the story you read. Votes represent your admiration, so show your love of fine writing by pressing that star.

Sharing your story:

Interacting:

DON'T - Do not spam or harass profiles. Profiles are not run by A.I. (computers). There are real people behind the screens, kinda like you; blinking at the screen right now.

DO - You are absolutely allowed to interact with the people running the profiles. Be tactful and mindful, you never know who you are talking to and it's not nice to hurt feelings.

Tact:

DON'T - Don't make act out of anger. Everyone is a slave to their emotions from time to time. It's important to always think before you just type and hit send.

DO - You are entitled to your opinion and to ride your rage wave. Wait a moment before you react, wait till you can respond rationally. Take a step back and think of a better way to sort the issue, one that won't hurt any feelings involved.


Asking for help:

DON'T - Don't forget, it's easy to search for information you might require. If your question is still not answered, only then you ask.

DO - You are always welcome to ask a question, how else will you learn? We will help you with a smile!
