Bots, Scraping and Reverse engineering
Scraping, reverse engineering and any bot access is prohibited on the Drukarnia platform.
Scraping is the process of automatically collecting data from a website for further use. Reverse engineering is the analysis of software in order to understand how it works and develop new products based on it.
The use of these methods on the Drukarnia platform may have consequences ranging from a ban on using the platform to legal consequences for copyright and data privacy violations. Also, access to the platform may be limited or completely blocked.
Relevance of topics to longread content
When you add longread to the platform, you should specify topics that best reflect the content of your article. Topics (tags) are keywords or phrases that help users find your longread through search on the platform, as well as in the recommendation feed.
The author bears full responsibility for the use of topics that correspond to the content of longread. Don't use topics that have nothing to do with the content. For example, do not use the theme "War in Ukraine" in a review of a game that does not mention the war in any way.
Try to put the most relevant topics to your post, because the wrong topics can cause your longread not to be seen by the target audience. Also, using the wrong subject line can lead to a lot of complaints from readers. In this case, the site administration has the right to delete topics that do not correspond to the content of longread. We remind you that it is impossible to add new topics after publication.
Adding a longread from a personal site or other blog
On Drukarnia, it is allowed to add author's longreads that have already been published on your own site or another platform. However, in this case, it is necessary to specify the canonical link to the original when publishing a longread in the appropriate field.
A canonical link is a link that points to the original version of the content. This allows you to avoid the problem of duplication of content and improve the SEO indicators of your site.
Please note that specifying a canonical link is only required if you are publishing a longread that has already been published on your own site or another platform. This does not apply to links to social media posts that are not ranked by Google. If the content is original and has not been published before, you do not need to provide a canonical link.
By keeping this rule, you will be able to add your previously published longreads to Drukarnia without breaking the rules of the platform.
By using our platform, you agree to these terms and conditions. These rules do not create any contractual obligations for us. Also, we can make changes to these rules at any time. We believe they are necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of all our users, and we ask all our users to respect and abide by these rules.
