Community Guidelines

Welcome to Journey Storybook—a place to enjoy stories, share perspectives, and connect through meaningful conversations.

These guidelines apply to comments, reader submissions, and other community contributions on our website.

Be Respectful

Treat other readers, contributors, and moderators with kindness. You may disagree with an opinion, but avoid personal attacks, insults, bullying, or harassment.

No Hate or Threats

We do not allow threats, encouragement of violence, or content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Protect Personal Privacy

Do not publish anyone’s private information without permission. This includes phone numbers, home addresses, passwords, financial information, and private messages.

Share personal experiences carefully, particularly when they involve children or other identifiable people.

Keep Contributions Relevant

Comments should relate to the story or discussion. Avoid repeated messages, unrelated promotions, misleading links, scams, and requests for money.

Do not impersonate another person or falsely claim to represent Journey Storybook.

Share Responsibly

Clearly distinguish personal opinions, fictional storytelling, and factual claims. Do not knowingly spread false information or present invented allegations about real people as facts.

When discussing sensitive experiences, use considerate language. Do not post graphic violence, sexually explicit material, or content encouraging self-harm or abuse.

Respect Creative Work

Share only material you created, have permission to use, or are otherwise entitled to share. Credit other creators where appropriate, and do not copy entire stories or articles into comments.

Advertising and Links

Do not use comments to promote products, services, referral links, or unrelated websites without permission.

Advertisements displayed on the website are separate from reader contributions. Do not encourage others to click ads or interact with them artificially.

Moderation

We may review, remove, or decline contributions that violate these guidelines. Depending on the circumstances, we may also limit commenting access.

Moderation decisions consider context, severity, and repeated behavior. We cannot guarantee that every contribution will be reviewed before it appears.

Report a Concern

If you notice harmful content or believe your contribution was removed in error, contact us through the contact details published on our website. Include the page link and a brief explanation.

Please do not repeat harmful material publicly when reporting it.
