A public community area that runs a free board, columns, notices, and questions.

Community

The forum is a public area where all site users share posts and questions

The forum and columns are a site-wide community, distinct from comments on a specific verse or questions asked to a Advanced Note author. Free posts, questions, columns, and notices are separated, and a reporting and review flow is included so that public participation is not abused.

Free board

A public space for site experiences, general sharing, suggestions, and casual conversation.

Questions and columns

Questions about the Bible, features, and operations, and public columns, are managed separately.

Notices and operation

Operation notices, reporting, hiding, and review flows keep the public area safe.

Scope

The forum has a different role from Advanced Note comments

Advanced Note comments are conversations attached to a specific author’s note or a specific verse. The forum is a public area where all site users share posts, questions, and columns, so its URL, permissions, and publishing policy are kept separate.

Questions

Questions cover both public questions and feature inquiries

Forum questions can cover the biblical text itself, how to use the site, resource sources, and feature requests. They are run as a separate flow from private questions asked to a QT author.

Policy

Public participation needs a reporting and review flow

A public forum can attract ads, malicious posts, and heretical content, so it includes basic operating measures such as reporting, hiding, administrator review, and posting limits. Not all posts are left fully open from the start.

Principle

Keep the community open, but never leave it unmanaged

The forum is a space for user participation, but to protect the trust of the Bible platform, its publishing scope and management standards must be designed together.
