Community rules should stay clear as the community grows.

These guidelines explain the behavior Likert expects, the conduct it does not allow, and how reporting, blocking, enforcement, and appeals generally work.

Expected behavior

Be honest about who you are, your age, and your dating intent.

Respect boundaries, rejection, blocks, and requests to stop.

Use reports and support requests in good faith.

Protect other people's private information.

Prohibited conduct

Harassment and bullying

Targeted abuse, intimidation, humiliation, or repeated unwanted contact are not allowed.

Hate and discrimination

Attacks or demeaning conduct based on protected characteristics or identity are not allowed.

Threats, violence, and serious safety concerns

Threats of harm, stalking, doxxing, self-harm manipulation, and credible offline safety risks may be escalated quickly.

Sexual misconduct and intimate content safety

Unwanted sexual messages, coercion, sexual services, explicit content where not allowed, and non-consensual intimate imagery are prohibited.

Scams, spam, and financial abuse

Scams, phishing, deceptive links, bulk messages, financial manipulation, and payment abuse are prohibited.

Impersonation, catfishing, and fake accounts

Do not pretend to be someone else, use stolen or misleading photos, or materially misrepresent your identity.

Illegal activity and illicit goods or services

Do not use Likert to offer, request, promote, or arrange illegal activity or illicit goods or services.

Underage and child safety

Likert is 18+. Suspected underage accounts or child-safety risks are treated as urgent.

Privacy violations

Do not share, threaten to share, or misuse another person's private information, messages, photos, contact details, or sensitive identity details.

Off-platform manipulation

Do not pressure users to leave Likert to avoid reporting, moderation, safety tools, payment protections, or accountability.

Reporting, blocking, and review

Reports help moderators review context, patterns, and severity. A report does not guarantee a specific outcome. Blocking is available without proving a rule violation, and the blocked user is not told who blocked them.

Enforcement and appeals

Likert may take no action, send an educational notice, issue a warning, remove content, limit features, temporarily restrict an account, ban an account, or escalate serious matters for senior, legal, or security review. Appeals may be available depending on the action and safety context.
