Community rules

Six of them. They exist so that this stays a place people are willing to be honest in.

  1. 01

    No means no, the first time

    If someone stops replying, unmatches or blocks you, that is the answer. Making another account to get around it is a ban.

  2. 02

    Nothing sexual without a clear yes

    Unsolicited explicit messages or images are the fastest way off this platform. There is no warning for this one.

  3. 03

    No threats, ever

    Threatening someone — their safety, their reputation, their family — is where the anonymity stops protecting you. This is what the identity escrow exists for.

  4. 04

    Do not out people

    Who someone is attracted to is theirs to share. Screenshotting a profile or a conversation and passing it around is a ban, and depending on what you do with it, it is also a crime.

  5. 05

    Be who you say you are

    You do not have to use your real name — you should not. But do not pretend to be a specific other person.

  6. 06

    This is for HIT students

    Accounts are tied to an @hit.ac.zw address. Sharing your login with someone outside the institute defeats the point and puts everyone you talk to at risk.

What happens when a report comes in

A moderator reads it, along with any messages captured when it was filed. Depending on what happened, the outcome is nothing, a suspension, or a permanent ban. For threats or anything illegal, the sealed identity behind the account can be opened — see what we store for exactly how that works and what is recorded.

The person you report is never told who reported them.
