Report a Concern

If something worries you, whether about your own safety, someone else’s, or content in this community, write to Brother Aaron directly. Your message goes straight to him and no one else, and it is treated with the seriousness it deserves.

Email: host@brotheraaron.org

Use “Safety concern” as your subject line so your message is seen first.

It helps to include:

  • whether this is about you, someone else, or something you saw here;
  • what is happening, sharing as much or as little as you feel comfortable;
  • a phone number, if you would rather be called.

Prefer Discord? Post in #report-a-concern, or send Brother Aaron a direct message.

Brother Aaron reads these personally and will respond to you himself. He is not a crisis service and may not see your message right away. If you or someone else is in danger right now, call 911, or call or text 988.

Confidentiality and Your Protection

Your communication with us is treated with the highest respect and discretion. In cases involving the safety of a child or imminent danger to any person, we may be required by law to involve appropriate authorities.

Your identity as a reporter is never disclosed to the person you reported. This is a hard policy with no exceptions. No community member shall face negative consequences for filing a report in good faith. If a report leads to the removal of another member's content, the reporter is not identified. If a report is found to be without merit, the reporter’s standing in the community is not penalized.

The only exception is demonstrably malicious false reporting, which may result in account review.
