Frequently asked questions

Confessions are never published with your identity attached. We store IP addresses temporarily for security and delete them after 30 days. Complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed in cases involving illegal activity or a legal investigation.

Approved confessions are visible to everyone who visits the site, and may also be shared on our social media pages. A moderator reviews every confession before it appears.

Open the confession page you want to post to, write your confession in the text area (up to 1,000 characters), optionally add an image, then submit. It goes straight into that page's moderation queue.

Most confessions are reviewed within 2 to 6 hours. At peak times, or when something needs a careful read, it can take up to 24 hours. We choose care over speed.

The usual reasons are personal information, inappropriate content, harassment, spam, or being too close to a recent post. We don't give per-submission reasons, so that moderation stays consistent.

Yes, within reason. Similar or repetitive confessions may be rejected, so wait for earlier submissions to be processed before sending new ones.

Personal experiences, academic struggles, relationship stories, mental health reflections, campus observations, career worries and social experiences. Keep it respectful and free of harm to others.

Harassment, hate speech, personal information (names, contact details), explicit sexual content, threats, illegal activity and spam. The full list is in our terms of service.

Yes — JPG, PNG or GIF up to 2 MB. Images follow the same rules as text: no personal information, no inappropriate content, no identifiable people. They are reviewed alongside the words.

No. Confessions are final once submitted, which is what keeps the anonymous system consistent. If you made a mistake, submit a new confession or contact us about removing the old one.

Because submissions are anonymous, we cannot verify who wrote one. Contact us with the confession URL and details only the author would know, and we will review the request case by case.

Use the report page or email [email protected]. Include the confession URL and what the problem is. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
