COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Publication rules

Trueish is a place for anonymous stories, confessions, and thoughtful discussion. Stories may be true or fictional. Reader votes are opinions, not fact checks.

Protect people's privacy

Do not include names, contact details, addresses, or other details that could identify someone without their permission.

Share content you have the right to share

Only submit text and images you created or have permission to use. Do not upload private or intimate images of other people.

Keep sexual content within our boundaries

All people involved in sexual subject matter must be adults. Sexual content involving minors, exploitation, and non-consensual sexual material is prohibited. Explicit sexual content is not published in this version of Trueish.

Mark sensitive stories

Use the sensitive-content option for stories involving sexual themes, violence, abuse, or other potentially distressing experiences. Moderators may adjust the classification.

Treat others with respect

No threats, targeted harassment, hateful attacks, scams, spam, or advertising disguised as a story. Disagreement is welcome; abuse is not.

Understand moderation

Stories and images are reviewed before publication. Comments may be reviewed or removed. Content that breaks these rules may be rejected or hidden. Use Report to flag a concern.

Wishes board

Wishes appear on the board right away, without review. Keep yours to one or two sentences, with no names, links, or contact details. Everyone gets one wish per browser; you can take it back and write a new one. Wishes that readers report are hidden automatically.

Sharing beyond Trueish

By submitting a story, a continuation, or a wish, you allow Trueish to show it beyond this site once it is published: for example in short videos, image cards, and posts on Trueish’s own social media accounts (such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube), in the weekly email, and on other sites where we promote Trueish. We may shorten the text or pair it with music. We always present it as an anonymous post on Trueish and never add your private access code or anything else that identifies you. Sensitive stories are never featured outside the site. If a story or wish is removed from Trueish, we stop featuring it, but copies that others have already shared may remain.

Stay anonymous thoughtfully

You do not need to publish your real identity. Avoid identifying details in your story and images. Public anonymity does not mean that no technical data is processed by the service.
