Community guidelines

The house rules

• Be yourself

  Use your own recent photos and true details. One account per person, for you only.

• Be kind

  No harassment, insults or hate, including about religion, sect, background or looks. If someone says no, or stops replying, let it go.

• Keep it respectful

  No sexual or explicit messages, and don't ask anyone for them, except in an accepted conversation in the 18+ area where it's available. Never sexual photos.

• Adults only

  You must be 18 or over. Anything involving a person under 18, role-play included, is removed at once and, where the law requires, reported to the authorities.

• Only with consent

  No pressure, threats or blackmail, ever. If someone hesitates, that's a no.

• No money talk

  Never ask anyone for money, gifts or financial details, don't sell or advertise anything, and never buy or sell sex.

• Protect privacy

  Don't share anyone's private details, photos or conversations without their permission.

In public chat rooms

Public chat rooms are for adults (18+), about anything, and any adult can read them, even without an account (visitors confirm they're 18 or older first). Anything legal is allowed there: strong opinions and strong language, jokes, links, pictures and your contact details. What protects people still applies:

• Nothing illegal, ever: nothing sexual involving anyone under 18, no threats or extortion, no scams or spam, no selling sex, and no hate speech. We remove it, close accounts, and report it where the law requires.
• Don't harass anyone, and don't share someone's private details, photos or conversations without their permission.
• Explicit talk and pictures only in 18+ rooms, which are only for people who pass the age check. Elsewhere they wait for a moderator.
• Pictures are checked before anyone else sees them.
• Room owners can set stricter rules for their room, turn links and pictures off, and mute, remove or ban people.
• What you write there is public: don't share anything you want to keep private.

In member rooms

• Use your room name

  In a room you're known by the name you choose for it. Don't try to find out who someone is elsewhere.

• Ask before going private

  No phone numbers, links or social handles in member rooms. To talk one to one, send a message request.

• Owners set the tone

  Room owners and admins can set rules, mute, remove and ban. They must use those tools fairly.

In the 18+ area (where available)

In some countries, adults who pass a one-time age check can enter a separate, anonymous 18+ area. The rules above still apply there, with these:

• Your first message is a request and follows the normal rules. Explicit messages are allowed only after the other person accepts.
• Nothing involving anyone under 18, ever, role-play included. We remove it and report it where the law requires.
• No phone numbers, links, @handles or other apps: they're refused there, so nobody can move you somewhere unsafe.
• Don't share or ask for photos, names or places.
• Our AI checks every message there too, and moderators read what it holds back or what's reported.

When rules are broken

• Messages that may break the rules are held until a moderator decides.
• Depending on what happened, we may remove content, limit features, suspend or remove an account, or close a room.
• Reports are confidential: the person reported isn't told who reported them.
• If you think we got it wrong, ask for a person to look again through Help & support.

The full rules are in the Terms of Use.
