How enforcement works
Rules only matter if enforcement is real and legible. Here is ours.
Detection
Reports from members are the primary signal — every report is reviewed by a human. Automated signals (verification failures, spam and velocity patterns, ban-evasion device signals) surface candidates for human review; automated signals alone do not ban accounts, with one exception: confirmed child-safety material is removed immediately.
The action ladder
- Warning — for first, low-severity violations.
- Content removal — the violating profile content or message is removed.
- Feature restriction — e.g., messaging restricted while a report is reviewed.
- Suspension — time-boxed removal from discovery and messaging.
- Permanent ban — for severe or repeated violations; device-level signals are used to resist return.
Severity can skip steps: scams, non-consensual intimate imagery, impersonation of a real person, and anything involving minors start at suspension or ban.
Appeals
Every enforcement action can be appealed by replying to the notice or emailing [email protected] with "Appeal" in the subject. A person re-reviews the decision; appeals do not go to the original reviewer alone.
