Advertising your story around Wattpad:
DO check the Profile Directory and International Profile Directory of our ambassador-led profiles and consider submitting your story to their reading lists. This offers writers some great exposure.
DON'T advertise your story on another user's message board, PM, or in the comments of their stories (unless they state that you may). The same goes for community-led and ambassador-led profiles.
Sharing Your Story:

DON'T - Please don't spam the account with links to your stories, not on the message board or via PM.

Interacting with profiles:
DO interact kindly on profile message boards, comments, and PMs. Give yourself time to think before you send your message.
DON'T harass profiles. They are not run by computers. They are real people like you.

DON'T - Do not act out of anger. It's important to always think before you just type and hit send.
DO - You are entitled to your opinion and to ride your rage wave. Wait a moment before you react, wait until you respond rationally. Take a step back and think of a better way to sort the issue, one that won't hurt any feelings involved.
