Community guidelines
What we expect, what we will not accept, and what happens either way.
The short version
Be a real person, be honest about who you are, and treat the person on the other side as somebody with their own evening, their own reasons, and their own right to stop replying.
Be yourself
Use photos of yourself that are recent enough to be recognisable. Do not use somebody else's photos, a public figure's photos, or images generated to look like a person who does not exist.
Your age must be your real age. This is not a preference; a false date of birth on an age-gated service is a serious matter and is treated as one.
One account per person. Running several accounts is almost always a prelude to something else.
Nobody under eighteen
DuskMeet is for adults. If you believe an account belongs to a minor, report it immediately and choose the underage category. We treat those reports ahead of everything else.
Accounts found to belong to a minor are removed, and we do not restore them on appeal.
No harassment
Sexual content sent to somebody who did not ask for it is harassment. Continuing to contact somebody who has stopped replying is harassment. Threats are harassment, and a threat framed as a joke is still a threat.
Nothing degrading somebody for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. That includes the version phrased as a preference.
Do not share private messages, photos, or anything about another member elsewhere. Intimate images shared without consent result in immediate removal and are the one category where we act before we finish reviewing.
No selling, scamming, or recruiting
Not a channel for promoting a business, a service, a cause, a token, a trading scheme or another platform.
Nobody you meet here should be asking you for money, however the request is framed, an emergency, a customs fee, an investment that has to be made today. Report it rather than replying. It costs the person nothing if they were genuine, and it protects the next person if they were not.
Photos
No nudity or sexual content. No images of violence, weapons presented threateningly, or self harm. No photos of children, including your own.
At least one photo should show your face clearly and without a group around it, so somebody can tell which person is you.
What happens when a rule is broken
Reports go to a person. Depending on what is found, the outcome is a warning, the removal of a photo or a message, a restriction on part of the product, a temporary suspension, or removal from DuskMeet.
Severity decides which. A misjudged photo is not the same as a threat, and treating them the same makes the serious cases slower.
Deleting your account does not remove reports made about you. Otherwise the delete button would be a way to clear a record.
If you were reported
You will be told what happened and, where it is safe to do so, which guideline it concerned. You will never be told who reported you.
If you think a decision was wrong, say so through contact. A different person reviews an appeal where one is available.
If you are in danger
If you are at immediate risk, contact your local emergency services first. DuskMeet cannot reach you and they can.
The safety page covers blocking, reporting, and meeting somebody for the first time.
