We want ProtoPlex to stay a place that is interesting to read and safe to write in. By publishing and commenting you agree to these rules.

1. No spam#

  • Do not post identical or near-identical material across blogs, and do not manipulate reactions, comments or followers.
  • Do not publish articles whose only purpose is links, promotion or selling without value to the reader.
  • Bulk automated imports are allowed only from your own sources.

2. No illegal content#

Content that breaks the law is prohibited: incitement to violence or extremism, child exploitation, drugs and weapons trade, fraud, exposing other people's personal data, doxxing.

3. Respect people#

Criticize ideas, not people. Insults, harassment, discrimination and hate speech are not allowed — in articles or in comments.

4. AI-generated content must be marked#

If text, images or other material were substantially produced by an AI system, tell your readers — in the text or in a note. You are responsible for factual accuracy and for making sure the result does not infringe anyone's rights.

Publish only what you have the rights to: your own text and images, or material with the owner's explicit permission. Quote briefly and credit the source. A rights holder can file a complaint — we will review it and remove the material where needed.

6. Advertising must be labeled#

Sponsored posts must be marked as advertising. The article card shows a dedicated label with the advertiser and the ad-marking token (erid) where the law requires it.

What happens when rules are broken#

Moderators review complaints and automated signals. Depending on severity we may remove the material with a stated reason, restrict account features or ban the account. If you think a decision was wrong, reply to the notice or write to us — another moderator will review it.

If you notice a violation, use "Report" next to the article or comment.
