COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

• •Treat every user with kindness and respect, regardless of their background, skill level, gender, race, or identity.
• •Harassment, bullying, threats, and intimidation are never tolerated — online or in person.
• •Discrimination and hate speech of any kind will result in immediate account action.
• •Disagreements happen. Handle them maturely. If a conversation turns hostile, disengage and report.
• •Remember there's a real person behind every profile. Communicate the way you'd want to be treated.

• •Use a real, recent photo of yourself. Profiles with authentic photos build trust in the community.
• •Write an accurate bio that reflects who you are and what activities you enjoy.
• •Describe your meetups truthfully — location, activity, skill level, and what attendees should expect.
• •Don't misrepresent your experience level. It's fine to be a beginner. It's not fine to pretend you're not.
• •If you're a host charging for a meetup, be transparent about what the fee covers.

• •Follow the safety tips on our Safety page. Meet in public places, tell someone where you're going, and trust your instincts.
• •Report any behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe — we investigate every report.
• •Don't share personal information (home address, financial details) with people you've just met on the platform.
• •If you see something that doesn't look right — a suspicious profile, a scammy gig, or concerning messages — report it.

• •If you RSVP to a meetup, show up. Hosts and other attendees are counting on you.
• •If you can't make it, cancel as early as possible so someone on the waitlist can take your spot.
• •Chronic no-shows hurt the community. Repeated no-shows without cancellation may result in reduced visibility in search results.
• •As a host, start on time. Respect your attendees' schedules the same way you want yours respected.

• •No spam, self-promotion, or unsolicited advertising in meetup descriptions, chats, or profiles.
• •No illegal content, activity, or solicitation of any kind.
• •No sexually explicit or graphic violent content in photos, videos, or messages.
• •Keep language in public-facing content (meetup titles, descriptions, profiles) appropriate for all ages.
• •Work gig postings must be for legitimate tasks. No multi-level marketing, scams, or anything that sounds too good to be true.

• •Write accurate meetup descriptions. Attendees should know exactly what to expect before they join.
• •Show up on time — or early. As the host, you set the standard.
• •Manage your group. Make newcomers feel welcome and address any issues during the meetup.
• •If you need to cancel, do it as early as possible and notify attendees through the meetup chat.
• •Respond to questions in the meetup chat. A responsive host gets better ratings and more attendees.

• •First offense (minor): You'll receive a warning with an explanation of the violation.
• •Repeated or moderate offenses: A red flag is added to your profile, visible to hosts reviewing join requests.
• •Serious or continued violations: Temporary suspension ranging from 7 to 30 days depending on severity.
• •Severe violations (threats, fraud, illegal activity): Permanent ban with no appeal.
• •We review every case individually. Context matters, and we aim to be fair while keeping the community safe.

• •To report a user, tap the three-dot menu on their profile and select Report. Choose the category and add details.
• •To report a meetup, open the meetup details and tap Report. Explain what's wrong.
• •All reports are reviewed by our trust and safety team within 24 hours.
• •You can report anonymously. The reported user will not know who filed the report.
• •After reviewing, we'll take action ranging from a warning to a permanent ban, and we'll notify you of the outcome.

These guidelines may be updated as the community grows. We'll notify you of significant changes. Questions? Contact us at support@sum2do.com.
