🚦STOP PLEASE READ – Follow the OD Rules 🚦

We realize there are new people on the site the last few weeks, who may not be aware of our Rules. We have had two reports of OD members attacking other members or insulting other members over the weekend – which is two more than we had in all of the last three months.

We do not allow OD members to attack, insult, or otherwise put down other members or their beliefs. Any OD member is allowed to write what they wish in their diary, as long as it adheres to the law and to our Rules. No other member is allowed to attack that person for their beliefs or their thoughts.

Instances like this will not be tolerated – once a member has been warned, if they continue to violate the Rules they will be ejected from the site and have their subscription refunded to them. Do not believe that just because you are paying a subscription to use this site, that this entitles you to treat other members poorly.

Please rest assured that we will not allow Open Diary to devolve into the morass that other social media sites have become – just because you are allowed to attack and insult other people on Facebook or Twitter, that does not mean you are allowed to behave that way here. Our number one commitment is to keep this as a safe place for our members to write, without fear of insult or rebuke.

With all of that said – please, do your part to keep OD a comfortable and safe community. If you see attacking or insulting behavior, report it to the Staff through the link at the bottom of the page. Thank you!
