Introduction to rules
Rules are intended to be followed and generally guide actions for appropriate results and predictability but serve as obstacles for those seeking different outcomes. Barriers are sometimes looked at as something that needs to be overcome. PUBLISH0X created rules to ensure that the publishing platform runs as smoothly as possible for everyone. Arbitrarily chosen rules are carefully planned for best results and work well for everyone that follows them.
Publish0x is a crypto-powered publishing platform created by founders that were deeply rooted in cryptocurrency. The platform is uniquely divergent and constantly morphing to accommodate increasingly diverse challenges. New categories are gradually being introduced and added to provide easy access to the ever-increasing collection of diverse articles contributed to the site.
Publish0x requires continuously increasing levels of maintenance and modifications to keep up with the exponential growth. A rapid increase in platform size emphasizes the need and importance of rules.
Every group of members, organization, business, and government require a set of rules, regulations, and guidelines to ensure the smooth flow of daily events. Rules at Publish0x exist to provide and maintain a friendly platform free of the corruption that can adversely affect any business.
Publish0x pays users crypto for reading and writing articles on the platform making it a prime target for system abuse and manipulation. Lack of sufficient rules would prevent fair distribution of crypto to deserving members and make it a breeding ground for criminal activity.

Any content that is not original is considered to be a plagiarized copy. Content that is scavenged from other sources and reworded to appear original is considered plagiarized. Changing specific words to avoid detection of plagiarism is not considered original content. Creating a patchwork of borrowed snippets from other articles is considered plagiarism.

Final thoughts
A set of rules serve as a guideline for all users to follow and may produce undesirable results if ignored. Failure to comply with the rules set by the platform may result in undesirable consequences.
Restrictions, removal of authorship and content never happen for no reason.
Publish0x members may challenge unfavorable decisions based on rulings by submitting a detailed report via email to the support specialists at [email protected]. Note that the official Telegram group does not handle personal account issues. Mistakes are possible but rarely occur.
Countless numbers of authors with proven track records confirm that following rules make a difference. Restrictions that occasionally occur for an insignificantly small number of users are direct results of ignorance or willful neglect of rules.
Publish0x depends on the membership of users to exist and attempts to solve problems amicably before resorting to extreme restrictions or removal.
Following proper procedures and rules are a definite prerequisite for success. Success as an author can be achieved with varying degrees of effort that is dependent on individual user capabilities. Talent, effort, and experience all help shape the outcome.
Many answers to questions can be answered by other members, admins or moderators in the Publish0x Telegram Group. Any unanswered questions can be forwarded to Support.
