A space for sincere engagement
Paul's Handkerchief is a space for sincere engagement with Scripture — through journaling, Q&A contributions, and other content you share on the platform. These guidelines explain what we expect and how we handle content that falls short.
This page works alongside our Terms of Service, which sets out the legal rules for Acceptable Use. This page explains, in plainer terms, what that looks like in practice.
What we're looking for
Honest, respectful, on-topic
- Honest engagement with Scripture, even where you're wrestling with a hard question
- Respectful toward other members, including in disagreement
- On-topic and relevant to the content you're responding to
What's not allowed
The short version
In line with our Terms of Service, content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, or that impersonates another person or entity is not permitted. This includes content that targets another member personally rather than engaging with ideas or Scripture.
Moderation · Reporting · Response
How it works
Moderation: currently handled directly by Paul's Handkerchief. Public submissions are generally visible immediately rather than held for approval. Content violating these guidelines or our Terms is removed. Response times vary — we review as we become aware, including through member reports.
Reporting: flag concerns via our Contact page with a link or description and why you're flagging it. No in-platform report button yet — Contact is fastest.
Response: case by case, considering nature and severity — removal, direct contact, or restriction of access per the Suspension and Termination section of our Terms of Service. Fair and proportionate, especially for first-time issues — but immediate action where content is harmful or unlawful.
