The Light Board

Shared with care.

How an anonymous story becomes a public Light.

What belongs here

An honest account of kindness received, witnessed, or offered. Small moments and unresolved endings are welcome. These are community accounts, not independently verified reports.

Every story waits for a person

Sending a story places it in a private queue. Time passing never publishes it. A moderator reviews it for privacy, dignity, suitability, and faithful meaning, then may approve it, request clarification, or decline it. Publication is not guaranteed, and no fixed review time is promised.

Light edits may remove identifying details or improve spelling, length, and clarity. Substantial changes require clarification rather than a rewritten experience. Save your private code to check for a note from the reviewer.

What we do not publish

  • Names, contact details, exact locations, or details that identify another person.
  • Identifying information about children, private case records, or sensitive personal details.
  • Threats, hate, harassment, accusations against identifiable people, graphic or sexual material.
  • Advertising, fundraising requests, political arguments, links, spam, or invented experiences presented as real.

Your publication choices

Website permission is required to submit here. Permission for LOLO to feature an excerpt in its monthly note or social posts is separate and optional. Neither choice subscribes you to email. Private Contact messages are never automatically turned into board stories.

Stories published on the open website have shareable links. We cannot control copies or screenshots made by other people.

Anonymous publication, careful storage

No account, name, email, photograph, or location is required. Private originals are encrypted in storage. Public pages and feeds contain only approved wording, its kindness category, a public story link, and the publication date. Private codes, originals, review notes, and moderation flags are never included.

Hosting systems may process security logs. We do not promise untraceable internet use. Short-lived abuse-prevention identifiers are separated from story records.

Your private code and withdrawal

Your private code is shown once after sending. We store a hash rather than the code itself. Use it to check status or withdraw your submission. Withdrawal immediately removes the public story and prevents that submission from being republished. Keep the code safe: we cannot recover a lost anonymous code.

Retention

When the maintenance task is configured, pending and clarification entries are removed after 90 days without an update; declined and withdrawn entries are removed after 30 days. For published entries, private original wording and private review notes are removed after 30 days; approved public wording and permission records remain while the story is published. Security rate-limit records are removed after two days. Server access-log retention must be confirmed separately with hosting before launch.

A quiet place

No profiles, comments, likes, rankings, or competitive scores. Stories are offered as invitations to notice and care.
