Community Guidelines
Almost Hello is a quiet bulletin board for the moments that almost became something more. These guidelines keep the space safe, respectful, and genuinely human.
Keep it kind
Write with empathy. A missed connection is a story, not an accusation. Avoid insults, gossip, or language that could shame or embarrass anyone.
Protect privacy
- Do not post full names, phone numbers, addresses, workplaces, or social media handles.
- Do not include identifying details about another person without their consent.
- Keep descriptions general enough to be romantic, but not specific enough to be stalking.
What belongs here
- A brief, respectful description of the encounter.
- The general location or neighborhood.
- A rough time or date.
- A warm, open-ended invitation to reconnect.
What does not belong here
- Harassment, threats, hate speech, or explicit content.
- Advertisements, spam, or promotional posts.
- Posts about minors or anyone under 18.
- Content that could be used to locate or track someone against their will.
Moderation
Every note is reviewed before it appears publicly. A moderator may edit, reject, or remove posts that violate these guidelines or that feel unsafe. Repeat violations may result in a ban.
If you see something concerning
If a post makes you uncomfortable or seems to put someone at risk, please reach out to the moderation team at hello@almosthello.com.
The short version
Be human. Be kind. Don’t share identifying details about others. If you’re unsure whether something crosses a line, it probably does.
