No Duplicate Content

We do not allow posting duplicate content, whether from a single account or across multiple accounts, either publicly or as an unlisted story.

This includes the following:

Taking a published story to unlisted, then re-publishing the same content into a new post.
Deleting a post and republishing it without substantive changes and improvements
Cross-posting stories in publications. If your story is already included in a publication, you may not publish another instance of the same story for inclusion in another publication.

Medium's distribution system is designed to effectively and efficiently deliver your stories to your network of followers, or readers we have identified as being interested in your writing. The existence of duplicate content from a single source disrupts this system, and ultimately result in a bad experience for your audience.

Accounts in violation of this rule will be suspended from Medium until they are brought into compliance. Repeated violations will result in permanent suspension.
