Community Guidelines

Effective Date: May 22, 2025

Welcome to Up4adate — a platform for spontaneous, real-world connections built on authenticity, respect, and emotional honesty. Whether you’re planning a first coffee, dinner date, or casual meetup, we’re here to create a space where trust leads to connection.

These Community Guidelines set the standard for behavior on and off the platform when engaging with others through Up4adate. Violating these guidelines may result in warnings, restrictions, or permanent removal from the platform.

1. Consent First, Always

  • Respect boundaries. Every person’s level of comfort is different.

  • No nudity, explicit content, or solicitation for sex is allowed on profiles.

  • In private chats, conversations around intimacy are only permitted with mutual, ongoing consent.

  • Unwanted advances, sexual pressure, or inappropriate content is a violation.

2. Protect Personal Privacy

  • Do not share private contact information in your public profile (e.g., phone number, email, Instagram handle).

  • Never request others' sensitive personal data or financial details.

  • Scamming, phishing, or sending payment requests will result in immediate ban.

3. No Violence or Threats

  • Content that depicts or promotes violence, death, injury, weapons, cruelty to animals, or threats of harm is strictly prohibited.

  • We may intervene or report to authorities if there is any indication of real-world danger or self-harm.

4. Up4adate is for People, Not Promotions

  • This is not a place to advertise businesses, promote social handles, or recruit for services.

  • No solicitation of paid relationships, “sugar dating,” escort services, or compensated meetups.

  • Influencer and promotional behavior will result in removal.

5. Be Yourself — Honestly

  • Use your real identity, photo, and age.

  • Do not impersonate others, use fake names or images, or create parody/fake profiles.

  • Misrepresentation — even “for fun” — undermines trust and is not allowed.

6. Communicate Respectfully

  • Harassment, bullying, discrimination, hate speech, or manipulation will not be tolerated.

  • This includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, body-shaming, and ageism.

  • Doxing, sextortion, threats, and blackmail are grounds for immediate removal and possible legal action.

7. No Harm — Digital or Physical

  • Any behavior (online or offline) that suggests intent to harm, stalk, intimidate, exploit, or abuse will result in permanent banning.

  • If a user reports harm, we will take it seriously and may intervene with safety tools, account review, or external support.

8. Adults Only

  • You must be 18 years or older to use Up4adate.

  • Do not upload images of minors or unaccompanied children, including childhood photos of yourself.

9. Follow the Law

  • Do not use Up4adate for illegal activity, including drug sales, counterfeit goods, identity theft, or criminal solicitation.

  • We have zero tolerance for child exploitation, human trafficking, or abuse of any kind.

10. One Account, One Person

  • Your account is for your use only.

  • Do not share access, create joint profiles, or operate multiple fake accounts.

11. Respect Others' Content & Privacy

  • Do not post or share someone else’s private messages without consent.

  • Do not post content that is copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise not yours to share.

12. Be a Trustworthy Community Member

  • Do not spread misinformation, scam, manipulate, or impersonate support staff.

  • Do not artificially boost visibility or abuse features via bots, mass reporting, or third-party tools.

  • Submit honest reports — false flagging or revenge reporting undermines safety.

13. Stay Active or We’ll Say Goodbye

  • If you don’t log in for 2 years, we may delete your account for inactivity.

  • Come back anytime — you’re always welcome here.

Reporting and Accountability

We rely on our community to uphold these guidelines. You can report any inappropriate behavior, safety risk, or suspicious content directly in-app or via support@up4adate.com. Reports are confidential and reviewed by trained moderators.

Enforcement and Impact

Violations of these guidelines may result in:

  • Profile warnings

  • Temporary suspensions

  • Permanent bans

  • Escalation to law enforcement in severe cases

We also reserve the right to take action for off-app behavior that harms members of the Up4adate community.

Final Word

We built Up4adate to make real, respectful, emotionally meaningful connections easier. These guidelines aren’t just rules — they’re the heart of our community.

Let’s keep this space safe, kind, and real.
