Reporting Someone

If you encounter unsafe or disrespectful behavior, reporting helps keep our community safe for everyone.

How reporting works

When you report someone, our moderation team reviews the issue and takes action if our community guidelines have been violated. Reports are confidential, and the person won't know you reported them.

Offensive messages, threats, or persistent unwanted contact

Fake Profile

Stolen photos, false identity, or catfishing

Scams

Requests for money, suspicious links, or financial schemes

Inappropriate Content

Explicit photos, sexual messages, or nudity

Underage User

Someone who appears to be under 18 years old

Spam or Bot

Automated messages or promotional content
