Community guidelines

A community built on showing up.

Our standards for respectful, consensual, and responsible real-world connections.

The standards we expect

Respect others

No abuse, hate, humiliation, threats, bullying, or repeated unwanted contact.

Be genuine

Use truthful profile information. Do not impersonate someone or fabricate your identity.

Respect consent

A decline, cancellation, block, or decision to leave must be respected.

Meet responsibly

Choose public places, follow local laws, and do not pressure others into unsafe settings.

Protect privacy

Do not publish another person’s private information, images, messages, or location without consent.

Share appropriate content

No exploitative, sexually explicit, violent, non-consensual, or otherwise unlawful images or messages.

Prohibited conduct

  • Fraud, financial scams, impersonation, phishing, or deceptive requests for money.
  • Stalking, sexual harassment, coercion, threats, exploitation, or hate-based abuse.
  • Sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate material, or content encouraging violence or self-harm.
  • Arranging illegal activity, sharing dangerous instructions, or using Stood Up to facilitate exploitation.
  • Automated spam, unauthorized advertising, scraping users, or attempts to bypass safeguards.
  • Creating new accounts to evade a suspension, ban, or other moderation action.

Meetups and personal boundaries

Meetups are voluntary. You may decline or cancel a request, leave an uncomfortable situation, or block further contact. No user has a right to demand another person’s time, contact details, or attendance. No-shows may be disappointing, but a report alone does not establish a policy violation.

Reporting, review, and enforcement

Use the in-app report tools to report conduct or content. To investigate reports, we may preserve relevant message or image evidence, review the context, restrict content or features, suspend or ban accounts, or refer matters to appropriate authorities when required or justified by law. We evaluate available evidence; not every report leads to enforcement.

Disputing a moderation decision

If your account is restricted, use the Contact Support option on the restricted-account screen or email support@stoodup.co to request a review. Explain the decision and why you believe it should be reconsidered. A review request does not guarantee reversal.
