Community

Rules.

Press & Penny is for serious reading and good-faith civic discussion. Debate ideas forcefully; treat the people behind them as people.

Effective July 15, 2026

01

Discuss in good faith

Disagreement is welcome. Harassment, dehumanizing attacks, hateful conduct, threats, celebration of violence, sexual exploitation, and targeted intimidation are not.

02

Protect privacy and safety

Do not publish private personal information, coordinate harassment, encourage self-harm, or create a credible risk of physical or financial harm. Never use another person's account or identity without permission.

03

Keep the reading record honest

Rank articles you actually read. Do not buy, automate, coordinate, or duplicate activity to manipulate the Daily Five, Penny Ratings, likes, follows, or other community signals. Do not evade account or feature limits.

04

No spam or platform abuse

Do not flood discussions, post repetitive promotions, distribute malware, scrape restricted data, probe security controls, or interfere with other readers' access. Use article submissions for relevant original-publisher links, not advertising or deceptive redirects.

05

Respect rights

Share only content you have the right to post. Credit sources, link to original reporting, and do not use Press & Penny to infringe copyright, impersonate a person or organization, or misrepresent a publisher's work.

06

Enforcement

Reports are reviewed in context. Depending on severity and history, we may take no action, hide content, issue a warning, remove content, suspend an account, or delete it. Serious safety threats, coordinated abuse, or repeated evasion may skip earlier steps. Good-faith reports do not guarantee the outcome a reporter requests.
