Rules for Safe Anonymous Confessions on the Wall
These guidelines keep our confession wall honest, compassionate, and safe. They apply to everyone who submits anonymous secrets or reads and reacts on Send Me Your Secret.
The spirit of the community
This is a secret sharing website for release and connection — not for revenge, doxxing, or cruelty. The best anonymous confessions are specific enough to feel real and respectful enough that a stranger could read them without feeling attacked. Write like a human speaking to other humans, because that is exactly what you are doing.
Moderators review submissions before they appear publicly. We may edit for clarity in rare cases, but we typically approve or reject wholesale. Repeated violations can lead to blocked submission patterns or IP restrictions when server-side enforcement is enabled.
What belongs on the confession wall
Personal stories and emotions
Share feelings about relationships, family, work, school, identity, regret, joy, or curiosity. Anonymous confessions about your own life — without naming or shaming third parties — are the heart of the platform.
Constructive honesty
You can be raw. You can admit mistakes. You can say something kind or something painful, as long as it does not cross into targeted harassment or hate toward protected groups. Safe anonymous sharing still has a line: punch up at systems if you want, but do not punch down at individuals you name or easily identify.
What we remove
We reject submissions that include full names, contact details, workplace identifiers, or anything that could reasonably identify a private person. We remove threats, encouragement of violence, sexual content involving minors, slurs used to degrade protected classes, and spam or promotional posts disguised as confessions.
Illegal content, non-consensual intimate imagery, and instructions for self-harm or harm to others are never published. If you need help, please use professional resources — the wall is not a crisis service.
Guidelines for readers and reactions
Reactions on the wall are meant to be quick empathy: same, damn, hug, wild. Do not use the comment space — when we add it — to bully authors or dig for identifying information. If a confession makes you uncomfortable, scroll on or report it once reporting tools are live.
Remember that anonymous secrets are written by real people. A harsh pile-on can hurt someone who was brave enough to post. We want the confession wall to feel like a late-night conversation with strangers who get it, not a courtroom.
Reporting and moderation transparency
If you see content on the confession wall that breaks these rules, flag it through reporting tools as they roll out, or contact moderators via official channels listed on the site. We prioritize takedowns that involve safety threats, identifying information, or harassment. We do not remove confessions simply because they discuss difficult topics like heartbreak, shame, or regret — those stories are why this secret sharing website exists.
Moderation decisions aim to be consistent, not perfect. When in doubt, we err on the side of protecting identifiable private individuals and keeping the online confession platform usable for the majority who follow the guidelines. Repeat offenders may lose the ability to submit when server-side enforcement launches.
When in doubt
Ask yourself: would I be comfortable if someone I love read this and recognized a third party? If the answer is no, rewrite or do not submit.
