The Square
The rules.
Short, because they are meant to be read.
- 01Say what you thinkPolitics, faith, news, family, work, sport. Strong opinions and blunt disagreement are welcome here, from a conservative viewpoint or any other. We do not remove a post because someone disagrees with it.
- 02Keep it cleanNothing sexual, suggestive or crude, and no swearing. Write like your mother, your pastor and your kids might read it.
- 03Argue with ideas, not peopleNo threats, no wishing harm on anyone, no dehumanising people for who they are, and no targeted harassment of a member or a private person.
- 04No doxxingNever post anyone’s address, phone number, workplace, school or family details, and never ask people to go find them. Your own contact details stay off the Square too.
- 05Nothing illegal, no spamNo promoting or instructing illegal acts, no scams, no selling, no fundraising pitches, and no links for now (name the source in words).
- 06Adults only, and checkedThe Square is for members 18 and over. Every post, reply, image and bio is checked before it appears; anything the check cannot clear waits for a person. Asking members for contact details or predatory talk suspends the account at once.
Reporting
Every post and every account has a Report button. You can report: spam or advertising, harassment or bullying, a threat of violence, someone's private information, sexual or crude content, illegal activity, pretending to be someone else, something else. Threats, doxxing and illegal activity go to our team as urgent. A post reported by three different members is hidden until a person looks at it. Mute and block are always yours to use, no reason needed.
BRO uses AI to vet members and to monitor every member-to-member message for scams, predatory behaviour and requests for personal details. Anyone who does this is blocked immediately, and flagged messages are reviewed by our staff.
