The Sacred Network is a community. The network functions because people show up in good faith — researchers, practitioners, travellers, and seekers, all bringing their experience to a shared atlas. These guidelines exist to keep that possible.

Content standards

• Be kind. Disagree with ideas, never attack people.
• Be specific. "Visited Stonehenge at sunrise on the solstice and felt X" is far more useful than "spiritual vibes were good".
• Cite where relevant. If you reference research, link or attribute. Don't pass off others' work as your own.
• Photos must be yours, public domain, or properly credited.

Site etiquette

If you visit a sacred site:

• Respect the site, the people who care for it, and any local custodians.
• Follow access rules (some sites are on private land or have restricted hours).
• Leave no trace. Do not move stones, leave offerings that don't biodegrade, or touch carvings/petroglyphs.
• If you bring a group, coordinate with the community via the site's discussion thread first.

Creator rules

If you list products, host events, or accept paid subscribers:

• Deliver what you promise.
• Be transparent about credentials and lineage. Don't claim authorship/training you don't have.
• Refunds for unsatisfied customers within 30 days are required for digital products.
• Events must have a clear plan, location, capacity, and price.
• Stripe Connect onboarding (KYC) is mandatory before you can accept payments.

Moderation

The team reviews reported content within 72 hours. Repeat or severe violations result in suspension. We publish a transparency report twice a year.

Edge cases we won't tolerate

• Harassment, hate speech, or threats.
• Selling illegal substances, services, or unverified medical claims.
• Doxxing or unauthorised recording of private gatherings.
• Spam, vote manipulation, fake accounts.

Reporting

Every post, comment, discussion, and product has a "report" link. Reports are reviewed by humans, not bots.
