Short, because there are only a few, and because a rule nobody can remember is not a rule.
One account, one person, and the age you give must be your own. The registration form will not take an age under 18 — but it is refusing a declaration, not checking a birthday, and you should read that sentence exactly as strictly as it is written. Members brought over from the old site have no age recorded at all, because that site never asked.
Pretending to be somebody else, or using photographs that are not of you, will cost an account here — but only once a person notices. Nothing checks a photograph against anything, and there is no way to report somebody you have not spoken to.
Chat refuses digits in any form, an address containing an @ and a dotted domain, an @handle, and eight named apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Instagram, Messenger, Skype, Viber and WeChat. It does not catch every route off this site: another app’s name, an address written out in words, or a handle with no @ will go through. That is not us being difficult: a conversation on this site can be reported, blocked and read by the house, and one that has moved elsewhere cannot.
When you do move it somewhere else, you have decided to give up those three things. That is your decision to make — just make it deliberately, and not because somebody pushed you into it in the first ten minutes.
Not a reply, not a photograph, not a meeting, not a reason. Repeatedly messaging somebody who has not answered is harassment, and it is treated as harassment here.
If somebody stops replying, that is the answer.
Do not ask anybody here for money, and do not send any. Nobody on this site has any business asking you for a payment, a gift card, a loan, or help with an emergency — and the site itself will never ask you for a card, because it cannot take one.
Threats, blackmail, or pressuring somebody with photographs or private information will end an account immediately and are matters for the police as well as for us.
Photographs on this site are opened for members, one account at a time. Saving them, sharing them, or putting them anywhere else is a serious breach, and it is the one this house takes least kindly.
The same goes for anything else somebody tells you in confidence.
There are three steps and a person decides each one. Chat can be taken away from an account without touching anything else — the usual first answer, and reversible; where a paid membership is running we cancel that alongside it, because a membership grants chat on its own. An account can be suspended, which stops it sending, seeing photographs, opening the Collection or unlocking a number — it does not sign the person out, and they can still read what was already said. A listing can be taken down, and on safety grounds every number bought from it is withdrawn and the credits returned.
None of it is automatic — nothing here scores you, and nothing suspends anybody because of a keyword. One thing is automatic and you should know it: if your own messages over a couple of hours add up to something that reads like a number, that message still arrives and is marked for the house, and you are not told.
