1. Bring the work. Specific pages and specific problems beat vague anxiety.
2. Critique the prose, not the person. Hard on the sentence, easy on the writer.
3. No slop dumping. Do not paste raw model output you have not read and ask the room to repair it for you.
4. No promotion without permission.
5. Give enough process context to make feedback useful. No confession rituals and no authorship policing.
6. No plagiarism, impersonation, or stealing another writer's work. The tools are here to help you build your own.
7. What is shared here stays here unless the creator gives permission.
8. A detector score earns a revision question, never an authorship verdict. No witch hunts.
We are here to build stronger work and better judgment. Keep your veto. Take responsibility for what ships.
