1. What this policy covers

This Content Policy applies to anything you make visible to other users on Hellenic Tales: stories you publish to the public library, comments on published stories, and your public profile (handle, avatar, bio, and any other publicly visible profile fields). It does not apply to stories you keep private in your own library.

2. Prohibited content

You may not publish, or use in your public profile, content that:

Is spam, off-topic, or not genuinely about learning or reading Greek — the public library exists for Greek-language stories and study material, not general-purpose publishing.
Is illegal, or promotes, facilitates, or instructs illegal activity.
Harasses, threatens, or demeans a person or group, or constitutes hate speech based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar characteristics.
Is sexually explicit or gratuitously violent.
Impersonates another person, brand, or organization, or is otherwise deliberately misleading about who created it.
Infringes someone else’s intellectual property or other rights.

3. Review before anything goes live

Nothing you submit for publishing appears in the public library automatically. Every submission is first screened automatically, then reviewed by an admin, and only appears publicly once approved. This applies every time, with no exceptions, to keep the public library safe and on-topic.

4. Enforcement

Content that violates this policy may be rejected before it is ever published.
Content that violates this policy may be removed after publishing, even if it was previously approved.
Accounts that repeatedly or seriously violate this policy may have publishing privileges revoked, meaning the account can no longer submit content to the public library, or may be suspended from the service entirely.
We use judgment proportionate to the violation — a single minor issue is treated differently from repeated or severe violations.

5. Reporting content

If you come across published content or a public profile that you believe violates this policy, you can report it for review. Reports are reviewed by an admin, and action is taken where warranted under the enforcement rules above.

6. Content from deleted accounts

If you delete your account, stories you previously published to the public library are not automatically taken down. They remain visible, but are re-attributed to “Deleted author” instead of your handle. If you want a published story removed rather than re-attributed, withdraw it from the public library before deleting your account.

This Content Policy works alongside our Terms of Service. Questions about this policy can be sent via the support ticket system on your Account page.
