#Commenting Guidelines


* ###Be polite. 
Try to contribute to the conversation. **Don't attack the requests or any suggestions made, and definitely do not attack or scold individual users** (it's sad really, that we actually have to specifically say this.)

* Top level replies must be suggestions or question to clear up the request.

* If you want to include a link in your suggestion we encourage you to link to the author's page or to an amazon alternative.

* Don't link to illegal content. Any illegal content will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

* This is not the place to advertise your book. **If you are found to be excessively promoting your book in the comments, you will be banned.**

* Beware: Amazon links could be caught in the spam filter. If you believe your comment or submission has been removed because it included an Amazon link, please message the mods.

* Beware: Link shorteners are automatically removed by the spam filter. Please provide full links. You can use [Markdown](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/commenting) to make your links look nicer. 

   `[Ficciones](htp://en.wiki.../Ficciones)` 

    becomes 

    [Ficciones](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficciones)


* Please use spoiler tags as to not reveal important plot points. This is how you use a spoiler tag: 

    `[Spoiler:](#s "something unexpected happens")` 

    becomes 

    [Spoiler:](#s "something unexpected happens")

## General Reddit Rules

* Like in all subreddits we ask of you to please respect [the reddit wide rules](/rules).
