1. Blogulr Community Guidelines (Terms-Style)

Blogulr is an article-first platform that enables users to share original articles and short-form commentary (“Blogles”). By using Blogulr, you agree to follow these Community Guidelines.

1. Acceptable Use of Blogles

A Blogle is a short commentary added when reposting an article. Blogles must provide original context, perspective, or commentary related to the article being shared.

Blogles must not:

  • consist solely of emojis, single words, or generic reactions;

  • duplicate the article’s title, summary, or body content;

  • be misleading, deceptive, or unrelated to the referenced article.

2. One Blogle Per Article

Users may publish only one Blogle per article. Repeated or duplicative reposting of the same article is not permitted.

3. Relevance and Conduct

Blogles must:

  • remain relevant to the article being shared;

  • avoid personal attacks, harassment, or abusive language;

  • critique ideas, content, or viewpoints rather than individuals.

4. Promotional Content

Blogles may reference products, services, or personal work only where such references are relevant to the article being shared. Excessive, repetitive, or unrelated promotional content is not permitted.

5. Quality and Visibility

Blogulr may apply visibility limits, ranking adjustments, or interface changes to Blogles that do not meet platform quality standards. Such actions do not constitute penalties or account restrictions.

6. Enforcement

Blogulr reserves the right to:

  • remove Blogles that violate these guidelines;

  • limit visibility of low-quality or abusive content;

  • suspend or terminate accounts for repeated or severe violations.

Interpretation and enforcement of these guidelines are at Blogulr’s sole discretion.

2. Internal Moderation Heuristics (Non-Public)

These are guidance rules for moderators and systems, not user-facing policy.

A. Blogle Quality Signals (Positive)

A Blogle is high-quality if it does at least one of the following:

  • explains why the article matters;

  • highlights a specific idea, argument, or section;

  • connects the article to real-world experience or application;

  • offers respectful disagreement or critique.

These Blogles should:

  • receive full feed visibility;

  • be eligible for discovery and ranking boosts.

B. Low-Quality Blogle Indicators (Soft Action)

Apply de-prioritization or collapsing, not removal, when Blogles:

  • are vague (“Good read”, “Interesting”, “Worth sharing”);

  • add no new information beyond the article preview;

  • are extremely short with no discernible insight;

  • are copy-pasted summaries of the article.

Action:

  • Lower feed ranking

  • Collapse behind “View Blogle”

  • Do not notify the user

C. Promotional Abuse Indicators (Escalating Action)

Watch for patterns where Blogles:

  • repeatedly redirect attention away from the article;

  • include unrelated links or calls-to-action;

  • use identical or near-identical promotional language across multiple articles.

Action ladder:

  1. De-prioritize visibility

  2. Remove Blogle

  3. Issue account warning

  4. Apply posting limits

D. Misrepresentation & Bad-Faith Sharing (Hard Action)

Remove Blogles that:

  • mischaracterize the article’s content;

  • deliberately distort claims or conclusions;

  • use the article as a pretext for unrelated messaging.

Action:

  • Remove Blogle

  • Notify user with neutral explanation

E. Conduct & Safety Violations (Immediate Action)

Immediate removal if a Blogle:

  • contains harassment, hate, or threats;

  • targets individuals rather than ideas;

  • encourages harm or deception.

Action:

  • Remove content

  • Apply standard Trust & Safety procedures

F. Rate & Pattern Controls (System-Level)

Automatically flag accounts that:

  • publish unusually high volumes of Blogles;

  • repost without reading signals (e.g., instant reposts repeatedly);

  • show consistent low-quality patterns.

Action:

  • Introduce friction (cooldowns, prompts)

  • Require commentary after threshold

  • Temporarily limit reposting

Guiding Principle for Moderators

Blogles exist to add context, not noise.
Enforce gently, rank intelligently, and intervene only when necessary.
