Community Guidelines

Our mission is to create a supportive and inclusive community where people of all backgrounds can explore Progressive Christianity and engage in meaningful dialogue. To ensure that everyone feels safe and respected, we have established the following community guidelines for any future social media platforms associated with TheGoodNewsBlog.org.

1. Respect and Inclusivity

Respect for All: We embrace people of all creeds, races, genders, ages, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and intersex statuses. Discrimination, harassment, or hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes personal attacks, doxxing, spreading misinformation, or any other behavior that creates a hostile environment.

Supportive Dialogue: Engage with others in a respectful and constructive manner. We encourage discussions that foster mutual understanding and respect.

2. Hate Speech and Harassment

Zero Tolerance Policy: Hate speech, including any content that targets individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or intersex status, is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: slurs and derogatory language, stereotypes and generalizations, threats of violence or harm, and incitement to hatred or discrimination.

Reporting Issues: If you encounter any posts or comments that you believe violate these guidelines, please report them to us immediately. We take such matters seriously and will take appropriate action, including removing offensive content, issuing a warning to the user, temporarily suspending the user's account, or permanently banning the user from the community. We aim to respond to reported violations within 24-48 hours.

3. Privacy and Safety

Personal Information: Do not share personal information about yourself or others that could compromise privacy or safety. Respect the confidentiality of personal details shared within the community.

Content Sharing: Ensure that any content you share respects the privacy and intellectual property rights of others. Always give credit where it is due and seek permission before sharing content that does not belong to you.

4. Constructive Feedback

Open Dialogue: We welcome constructive feedback and encourage open dialogue about how we can improve our community. Please direct any concerns or suggestions to our administrators.

5. Page Moderation

Admin Discretion: Administrators reserve the right to remove posts or comments that do not adhere to these guidelines and to block users who repeatedly violate our policies.

Appeal Process: If you believe that a decision made by the administrators was in error, please contact us to discuss the matter. We are committed to fairness and transparency.
