👋 Welcome to the heart of the Village.

I’m the Minister of BookVillage, and what you’re about to read is more than just a set of rules: it’s the Constitution that holds our community together.

This Constitution isn’t made of rigid impositions, but of principles born from years of observing mistakes in the self-publishing world. It’s a pact of trust—between you, the other members of the Village, and the system we’ve created to protect everyone.

🏛️ The 4 Pillars of the Village

🛡️ 1. Absolute Safety

Every feature of BookVillage is designed to protect your Amazon account and your reputation from:

❌ Point and coin systems that Amazon potentially forbids

❌ Fake reviewers on multiple accounts

❌ Direct review swaps between authors

There is no room here for risky shortcuts. Only for healthy, long-term growth.

⚖️ 2. Fairness and Sustainability

BookVillage is an ecosystem that only works if everyone contributes.

📌 Every contribution you make strengthens the Village. When it’s your turn, you’ll receive support in a fair and balanced way.

📖 3. Authenticity

Reviews in the Village must be:

✅ Genuinely written by real readers

✅ The result of authentic interest in the chosen book

✅ Free from any external influence

Authors can never contact or flag reviewers. This protects the freedom and honesty of every opinion.

👁️ 4. Control and Zero Tolerance

We use advanced tools to meticulously analyze user interactions.

If anyone tries to:

- bend the rules

- post AI-generated or copied reviews

➡️ they will be permanently banned, along with their books, pen names, and even IP address.

📜 The Fundamental Rules (and a Few Uncomfortable Truths)

❌ There are no coins, points, or virtual piggy banks.

Amazon forbids review exchanges in return for accumulable credits. Here, there’s nothing to stockpile—only to contribute and receive.

✅ The BookVillage karma system weighs every action. Each type of promotion or assignment has a specific value that is tracked to maintain balance.

✅ The system will alert you if you’re creating imbalances between what you give and what you ask for, ensuring promotions remain fast and smooth for everyone.

🌱 Your Commitment

🔹 Be a responsible author: only add your own books and respect promotion limits.

🔹 Be a reliable reader: only reserve assignments you can complete on time.

🔹 Do not use AI to write reviews. Don’t try to cheat. The Village sees everything.

✨ Why Does This Constitution Exist?

Because too many platforms ignored these principles—and they collapsed.

BookVillage is different: it’s designed to create an ecosystem that protects authors’ work and readers’ honesty.

📢 By accepting this Constitution, you join a Village that rewards respect and authentic participation.

Welcome to those who choose to do things the right way.
