4. Can I report someone who is breaking the VAVEE rules?

Absolutely. We want to promote open dialog and conversation in a respectful manner. If you feel that someone is violating the rules you can click the small squares beneath the user's main photo and click "Report Abuse." Check the appropriate box and add a description.

5. Can I report someone who is harrassing me?

The first course of action would be to address the issue directly with the person to see if you can resolve the issue. The second step is to block them. In extreme cases or if people continue to harrass you, report them to us and incluse any supporting documentation. Please understand that we will allow the other person to present their side before a final determination is made.

6. Do people get permanently banned from VAVEE?

It can happen however it's our intention to treat people like adults, address issues and hopefully resolve them to everyone's satisfaction. Some people just don't care, others don't get it and still others will claim to be victims. It's our intent to try to treat people equally while taking the specific circumstances of each case into account.

8. What's the VAVEE logo all about?

What’s in a logo?

There's a lot of symbolism in the VAVEE logo.

On the left we have blue. On the right we have red.

In the center we have magenta-which on the RGB and CYM color scales, falls exactly in the middle. Magenta is an “extra special “ color but is also known as an “impossible” color which seems quite fitting these days.

The large “V” in the middle? It’s all about communication.

The large swoosh represents flexibility and a willingness to being open to different ideas. The two smaller swooshes represent Open Speech and the often forgotten but critical art of Actively Listening.

VAVEE, Open Speech for Open Minds. Let’s strive toward the impossible.
