Community guidelines
Be kind, keep it honest, honor privacy. Full policies cover acceptable content, prayer requests, and respectful disagreement.
Safety
A cared-for community
Invite-only membership, clear guidelines, moderation tools, and human review — so you can participate with confidence.
Be kind
Encourage with grace and compassion.
Keep it honest
Share from the heart, with authenticity.
Honor privacy
Respect each other's stories and boundaries.
Tools and policies
What keeps The Story Haven safer than an open social feed.
Reporting
Report posts, comments, or messages that violate guidelines. Reports are reviewed by human moderators.
Block and mute
Block someone to stop all interaction. Mute hides their content from your feed without them knowing.
Muted keywords
Filter topics or phrases you do not want to see — your feed, your boundaries.
Privacy controls
Manage profile visibility, who can message you, tag you, and see your activity in account settings.
Sensitive content
Some posts may include a sensitive-content notice before you choose to view.
Direct messages & tags
You control who can DM you and who can tag you in posts and comments.
Ages 13+
Members must be at least 13. Ages 13–17 require parental permission as described in our community policies.
Important note about crisis support
The Story Haven is a peer community, not a crisis counseling or mental health service. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. For mental health crisis support in the U.S., call or text 988.
