What this space is for
Your group is a small room — four to ten men who agreed to do something hard together and to tell each other the truth about it. The chat exists for that: encouragement, accountability, prayer, the day's challenge, showing up.
It is not a public feed. Everything you post is seen by the people in your group and by your group leader. Write like they are in the room, because they are. If a message is reported, our administrators and church staff we authorise can see it too, even if they are not in your group.
Minors use this app. Anyone 13 and over can be in a group. That is why the rules below are strict and why we enforce them without argument.
What is not allowed
- Harassment or bullying. Targeting, mocking, pile-ons, threats, or repeatedly contacting someone who wants you to stop.
- Sexual content. Nudity, sexual images, sexually explicit talk. Any sexual content involving a minor is reported to the authorities and the account is removed permanently.
- Violence. Threats of violence, glorifying it, or encouraging it against anyone.
- Hate. Attacks on people for their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender or sexual orientation.
- Encouraging self-harm. Never encourage or instruct someone toward suicide, self-injury or an eating disorder. If a brother tells you he is struggling, stay with him and tell your leader — that is the opposite of a violation, and it is why this app exists.
- Spam. Advertising, promotions, chain messages, links to unrelated products, bulk messaging.
- Impersonation. Pretending to be someone else, or claiming a role in the church or program you do not hold.
- Sharing other people's private information. Somebody's phone number, address, workplace, photograph or anything said in confidence — not without their permission. What is said in the group stays in the group.
- Illegal content of any kind.
There is no tolerance for this
We mean it literally. Content that breaks these standards is removed, and the account that posted it may be suspended or terminated — without notice, and without a refund. Serious violations end an account on the first offence.
How to report something
Every report is filed against a specific message, so that whoever reviews it can see exactly what was said. There is no "report this person" button anywhere in the app.
A message: tap the ⋯ in the small strip beneath the message, or press and hold the message itself. Choose Report message, pick one of the seven reasons, add anything the reviewer should know, and tap Send report.
A person: open the Group tab and tap the people icon at the top right of the chat header. That opens Your group, which lists everyone in it. Tap the ⋯ at the end of their row — the row itself does nothing — and choose Report a message. That entry does not file a report on its own: it takes you back to the chat thread so you can pick the message you mean, and you report it there.
We do not tell the person you reported that you reported them. If the person you reported is one of the people who review reports — a group leader, our administrators, church staff we authorise — their review screen hides your name and the description you typed, on the phone and in our web console alike, so reporting someone who moderates does not hand them your name. It hides the note written when the report is closed, and who closed it, for the same reason — whoever reviews a report may also be the person who filed it. And the alert a reviewer gets when a report is filed records nobody as its author, so it tells that reviewer nothing about you that the report itself does not. Everyone else reviewing that report does see who filed it. In the alert email that goes to our own moderation inbox, the line that would name you reads the same on every one of those emails, whoever filed the report, and what you typed is not in the email at all. Your name and your description are shown on the review screen instead — on the phone and in our web console alike — to the moderators the report is not about. What that email does still say, and we would rather name that than imply nothing is left: that a report exists, which group it is in, the reason chosen and the time it was filed. An administrator you report reads those facts, and in a group of four to ten they can narrow who is likely to have filed it. Reporting is still not a strike against you — report anything that concerns you and let us sort it out.
How to block someone
The control carries their name, so for a member called Marcus it reads Block Marcus.
From a message: tap the ⋯ beneath it, or press and hold the message. Choose Block Marcus, then confirm with Block.
From the roster: open the Group tab, tap the people icon at the top right of the chat header, tap the ⋯ at the end of their row, and choose Block Marcus.
Blocking is mutual. Once you block someone: you no longer see their messages, past or new, and they no longer see yours. Neither of you gets notifications about the other. Everyone else in the group is unaffected. There is one exception, and it is the one that matters if you block someone and then report them: if a message of yours has been reported, the people who review that report — your group's leaders, our administrators and church staff we authorise — can read that one message even if one of them has blocked you. For church staff that holds while a report on it is open.
Blocking hides messages; it does not remove the person from the group. If someone needs to be removed, that is what reporting is for — your leader, our administrators and church staff we authorise can remove a member. One kind of account is outside that: only an administrator can remove or bar an administrator, even from a group somebody else leads. That limit follows the person, not the button: taking an administrator out of a group they are in is a removal whether the control says remove or move, and only an administrator can do it. Putting an administrator into a group takes them out of nothing, so our administrators and the church staff we authorise can still do that. Group leaders have no control that places anyone into a group at all.
You can see and undo your blocks at Me → Blocked Members.
What we do about it
Every report is reviewed and acted on within 24 hours. Your group leader and our administrators are notified the moment a report is filed. A report about a leader goes to our administrators directly, so it never lands only on the person it is about.
Depending on what we find, we may remove the content, remove the member from the group, suspend the account, or terminate it permanently. A report keeps a frozen copy of the message it was filed against, so deleting the message does not erase what was reported. Deleting an account is different: if the person who reported or the person who was reported deletes their account, the report goes with it. We would rather say that than imply the record always survives.
If something is urgent, or if a report control does not cover it, email us:
If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first. In the United States you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
