OUR COMMUNITY PROMISE

Grow in kindness.

Welcome honest questions and speak to others with care. You may disagree with an idea; do not attack a person.

Protect one another

Do not share private information, someone else’s story without permission, threatening or hateful content, sexual exploitation, or content encouraging harm. Do not spam, impersonate others, manipulate votes, or promote scams.

Share responsibly

Use your own words or material you have permission to share. Link to sources when discussing news. Clearly label opinion, and avoid presenting rumors or medical, financial, or legal opinions as established facts.

When something feels wrong

Sign in and use “Report a concern” in a conversation. Moderators can hide reported posts or replies and keep a record of decisions. Reports are private. The community is not monitored continuously and is not an emergency service.

Grace is encouragement

Vote for helpful contributions. Vote once per post and do not vote on your own posts. Grace and garden ranks reflect community participation, never a person’s faith or worth.
