We created Dialogue Village to help people come together in Dialogue, a professional practice. It’s been amazing to watch it grow into what it is today – a place where many people connect with old friends and new.

These rules clarify what is and isn’t allowed on our website and forums, in case you need them and to ensure that everyone has a good experience.

They are meant to reinforce our position and complement the practice of Dialogue. If you come across a message or statement that appears to break these rules, please report it to us. We may take a number of steps, including issuing a warning or removing the membership privileges from those responsible.

Thankfully, everyone uses Dialogue Village responsibly, so these guidelines may seem obvious. Still, we want to be clear about the expectations for our users.  Every user of Dialogue Village should feel like their voice can be heard, but not at the expense of someone else.

HERE ARE SOME RULES FOR INTERACTING WITH OTHERS

Do not make threats of violence or threaten to harm others. This includes indirect threats, as well as sharing or threatening to share someone’s private personal information.
Do not try to hide your identity for malicious purposes, or otherwise circumvent the tools we have which enable users to protect themselves.
