Guidelines

How we pray together

Be kind

  • No harassment, scams or requests for money.
  • Don't ask for anyone's contact details or push conversations off Pray Openly.
  • No pressure to share outcomes. Nobody can promise a particular result.

Who's who

  • Hosts are volunteers who welcome people and pray with them. They aren't counselors or emergency responders.
  • Moderators review reports. Community owners manage their own community but can't read private host conversations.
  • There are no AI participants. Every person you meet here is a real person.

Muting and blocking

  • When you mute someone you stop seeing their messages, and they can't reply to your requests.
  • In shared public rooms they may still see what you post. Muting can't make public content private.

Privacy

  • Public requests are hidden from search engines, but anyone visiting can read and copy them.
  • Private requests to hosts are visible only to that room's hosts and moderators.
  • Your email is never shown. Private content is kept out of web addresses and email subjects.
  • Removing a request deletes it. If it was reported, a short moderation record (action and reason) is kept.
  • Deleting your account removes your requests, messages and replies.
  • No advertising trackers or session recording.

Adults only, for now

  • Pray Openly is for people 18 and older until age-appropriate safeguards are designed.
