This is a Vaishnava community: events, communities, service, and news. The rules are short and have one purpose — so that people can trust each other here.
- Respect. No insults, harassment, threats, or hostility towards people because of faith, origin, gender, or anything else.
- News means accountable updates. A news item has an author who stands behind it. This is not a place for open argument or rumour.
- Be truthful. Do not impersonate another person, community, or temple, and do not claim service that is not yours.
- Respect other people's privacy. Do not publish other people's personal details, and do not forward private messages without consent.
- No spam or pushy advertising. Requests for money and sensitive service topics — health, treatment, legal and financial matters, family support, and others — can be sent for human review or blocked.
- Describe service honestly. Do not promise medical, legal, or financial outcomes; say what you can actually do.
- Direct messages. Anyone signed in can message you first until you turn that off in chat settings. You can block someone, and you can report a message.
- Reporting. A Report control exists on records, comments, profiles, and chat messages. If you report a chat message, a copy of its text is stored and moderators can see it — including from a private conversation.
- What happens when a rule is broken. A record or comment can be hidden or removed; an account can lose the ability to post and comment. A person makes that decision. There is no formal appeal process yet: write to
[email protected]. - People's safety.
Accounts are for adults aged 18 or older only. The site has no minors safeguarding programme; anyone under 18 should not create an account or submit personal data. If someone is in danger, contact your local emergency services — this site is not an emergency service.
