دستورالعمل‌های جامعه Matesbridge

Matesbridge is a place for real people, real plans, and real connection.

We believe in:

• Respect
• Authenticity
• Safety
• Inclusion
• Consent
• Responsibility
• Trust

Matesbridge is not only an online social platform. It is also designed to help people meet in real life. Because of this, every user has a responsibility to act respectfully both inside the platform and during Meetups.

We do not tolerate abuse, harassment, threats, exploitation, hate, fraud, unsafe behavior, or conduct that harms the trust of the community.

Treat others with respect.

Do not bully, threaten, harass, shame, intimidate, stalk, pressure, or abuse another user.

This includes behavior in profiles, messages, Meetup discussions, comments, reviews, reports, and real-life Meetup interactions.

You must not:

• Insult or degrade others
• Make threats
• Repeatedly contact someone who does not want to communicate
• Pressure someone to meet, share personal information, send media, pay money, or continue a conversation
• Target someone because of their identity, background, appearance, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or personal beliefs
• Encourage others to attack, shame, or harass someone

Respect is not optional on Matesbridge.

Matesbridge depends on genuine people and honest interaction.

Users must represent themselves truthfully. Fake profiles, impersonation, misleading identities, deceptive behavior, and identity misuse are not allowed.

Users must provide a name and surname when using the platform. Nicknames or preferred names may be allowed, but they must not be misleading, offensive, impersonating, fraudulent, or harmful.

To receive a Matesbridge Verified Badge, also known as the MBV Badge, users must provide their real name and surname and complete the required verification process.

The MBV Badge is designed to increase trust and safety within the community. However, users should still use good judgment, respect platform rules, and follow safety practices when interacting with others.

Names, surnames, usernames, display names, and profile identifiers must not create safety, trust, legal, or community risks.

Users must not use names or usernames that include or suggest:

• Hate, harassment, threats, or targeted abuse
• Violence, abuse, exploitation, or self-harm encouragement
• Sexual, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, or adult-oriented content
• Child sexualization, child exploitation, grooming, or inappropriate references to minors
• Illegal goods or services
• Scams, fraud, fake documents, or deceptive schemes
• Sexual solicitation or adult-service promotion
• Unauthorized promotion, spam, or attempts to redirect users away from Matesbridge
• Impersonation of another person, public figure, company, brand, authority, or organization

Matesbridge may reject, remove, restrict, or require changes to any profile name, surname, username, display name, or profile identifier that violates these rules.

Your profile photo is one of the most important parts of your account. It helps other users recognize you and supports trust before digital or real-life interaction.

Your main profile photo must clearly show your face, and you must be the main person in the image.

Do not use a main profile photo that includes:

• Group photos
• A hidden, unclear, blurry, dark, or low-quality face image
• Heavy filters, masks, effects, or edits that distort your appearance
• Celebrity photos or impersonation-based images
• Hate symbols, violent content, illegal activity, or extremist content
• Nude, sexually explicit, obscene, or sexually suggestive content
• Images involving minors in an unclothed, sexualized, exploitative, or unsafe context
• Promotional, scam-related, misleading, or commercial misuse content

Users may upload other media to their profile gallery, as long as it follows Matesbridge rules and does not violate privacy, consent, safety, intellectual property, or content standards.

Matesbridge does not allow content that harms people, creates unsafe experiences, or damages the community.

You must not post, upload, share, send, promote, or create content that is:

• Hateful
• Harassing
• Threatening
• Violent
• Abusive
• Discriminatory
• Sexually explicit
• Obscene or vulgar
• Exploitative
• Fraudulent
• Misleading
• Illegal
• Unsafe
• Targeting or degrading individuals or groups

Any content involving child sexualization, child exploitation, grooming, or unsafe references to minors is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination and reporting to appropriate authorities where required by law.

Respect other people’s privacy.

Do not share another user’s personal information without permission. Do not pressure anyone to share personal information, private media, location, contact details, financial information, or sensitive personal details.

Personal information may include:

• Home address
• Phone number
• Email address
• Workplace
• School
• Government ID
• Financial information
• Private photos or videos
• Live location
• Private conversations

Consent must be clear and voluntary. If someone says no, stops responding, DeMates you, blocks you, cancels participation, or shows discomfort, respect their boundary.

Do not record, photograph, film, screenshot, or share another person’s image, voice, content, messages, location, or personal information without permission where permission is required.

Matesbridge welcomes people from different backgrounds, cultures, identities, interests, and communities.

Diversity makes the platform stronger.

Discrimination, hate speech, exclusionary behavior, harassment, or abuse based on someone’s identity or background is not allowed.

Respectful discussion is allowed. Hate, intimidation, coercion, threats, or targeted hostility are not.

Do not use Matesbridge to deceive, manipulate, exploit, or spam others.

You must not:

• Create fake profiles
• Impersonate another person or organization
• Use fake stories to get money, attention, gifts, or personal information
• Promote scams, fake documents, illegal goods, restricted services, or financial schemes
• Send spam, mass promotions, or unwanted commercial messages
• Use bots, scripts, fake engagement, fake reviews, or platform manipulation
• Redirect users to external platforms for scams, prohibited services, or unauthorized promotions
• Misuse referrals, promotions, visibility tools, ratings, reviews, reports, or other platform systems

Matesbridge is a community space, not a place for scams, manipulation, or unwanted promotion.

Matesbridge is designed to help people meet in real life, but safety must always come first.

Users must behave responsibly before, during, and after Meetups.

You must not:

• Create unsafe or misleading Meetups
• Threaten or intimidate others
• Pressure someone to attend a Meetup
• Pressure someone to move to another location
• Change the agreed Meetup location in a misleading or unsafe way
• Touch anyone without consent
• Harass, follow, stalk, or pressure another user
• Bring illegal items or restricted goods
• Encourage illegal, dangerous, or harmful activity
• Violate venue rules, local laws, or platform rules

A Meetup should take place at the location determined from the beginning. After the first Participant is accepted, the Meetup location cannot be changed.

If you ever feel unsafe, leave the situation if possible, contact local emergency services when necessary, and report the issue to Matesbridge.

For added personal safety, users may use Matesbridge’s safety tool, Safe Mate, to share their live location during Meetups or to alert their selected trusted Mates and share their location coordinates when they need help.

Meetup Planners must create accurate, lawful, safe, and appropriate Meetup announcements.

A Planner is responsible for providing clear and truthful information, including the Meetup title, description, location, date, time, participation conditions, age limit, rules, cancellation policy, and any applicable financial details.

Planners must make sure that their Meetup complies with local laws, venue rules, safety requirements, and Matesbridge platform rules.

Meetups must not be misleading, illegal, unsafe, exploitative, discriminatory, sexually inappropriate, fraudulent, spam-related, or harmful to the community.

Matesbridge does not organize, supervise, or guarantee the legality, safety, quality, suitability, or outcome of user-created Meetups, except where expressly stated under platform rules.

Participants are responsible for reviewing Meetup details before joining.

Before joining a Meetup, users should review the location, time, rules, age limit, participation conditions, cancellation policy, group details, and any applicable financial terms.

Participants are expected to:

• Attend Meetups they have committed to
• Arrive on time
• Follow the Meetup rules
• Respect the Planner and other Participants
• Complete the check-in process where required
• Respect venue rules and local laws
• Avoid behavior that harms safety, trust, or the Meetup experience

If a user no longer wants to attend a Meetup, they should withdraw according to the applicable cancellation policy and platform rules.

Users must be at least 16 years old to create an account on Matesbridge.

Some Meetups may have higher age requirements depending on the activity, venue, local law, safety conditions, alcohol involvement, or other restrictions.

Meetups involving age-restricted activities must be marked as 18+ or must follow any higher legal age requirement required by local law.

Nightlife, party, music, entertainment, and social Meetups are not automatically prohibited for users under 18. However, if the activity, venue, alcohol involvement, local law, or platform rule requires an age restriction, the Meetup must be properly restricted.

Users must not attempt to join Meetups for which they do not meet the age requirement.

Some Meetups may involve payment or reward arrangements, either in person or through Matesbridge.

Users are responsible for reviewing the applicable payment method, cancellation policy, and participation conditions before planning, joining, cancelling, or withdrawing from a Meetup.

Matesbridge may support cancellation policies such as Open, Flexible, Moderate, and Strict. These policies may affect refunds, warnings, penalties, and participation restrictions.

Detailed payment, cancellation, refund, warning, and penalty rules may be provided in separate Matesbridge policies.

Users must not use payment features, Meetup fees, rewards, or financial arrangements for fraud, scams, illegal activity, deception, money laundering, or prohibited services.

Reviews and ratings help build trust on Matesbridge.

Users may share honest feedback about their Meetup experience, including reliability, communication, behavior, safety concerns, and whether the Meetup matched its description.

Reviews must not be used to harass, threaten, shame, blackmail, discriminate, lie, manipulate, or retaliate against another user.

If something violates these Guidelines, report it.

Reports help protect the community. Matesbridge may review reports, remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, cancel Meetups, or take other action according to platform rules.

False, abusive, malicious, or retaliatory reports are not allowed.

Some behavior connected to Matesbridge may happen outside the app, such as at a Meetup, after a Meetup, or through another communication channel.

Matesbridge may review off-platform conduct when it is meaningfully connected to Matesbridge activity and affects user safety, trust, or platform integrity.

This may include serious threats, scams, harassment connected to platform use, safety risks, or misconduct related to a Meetup.

Matesbridge may not be able to investigate or take action on every off-platform situation. Users may also use ratings and reviews to describe their real Meetup experience where appropriate.

If there is immediate danger, criminal behavior, physical harm, or a serious threat, users should contact local authorities or emergency services.
