Community Guidelines
The rules everyone must follow so that people feel safe on PlanMEET, and the enforcement actions applied when they are broken.
Why these rules exist
PlanMEET is a platform where people share plans in order to meet in real life. That carries a higher responsibility than an online chat app: a connection made here ends up in an actual café, on a boat, or on a hiking trail.
These rules apply to everyone, without exception. The action taken when you break one depends on how serious the violation is.
Be real
- Use your own photos. Using someone else's photo is impersonation.
- Give your age, your name and your basic details accurately.
- Use a single account. Creating a second account to evade a block is prohibited.
- Do not pose as a celebrity, an institution or another person.
Be respectful
- Accept rejection. A declined join request does not require an explanation.
- Insults, humiliation and belittling are not acceptable.
- Hate speech based on race, ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics is strictly prohibited.
- Do not send persistent messages. If the other person is not replying, that is a reply.
Respect consent
Consent is required at every stage and can be withdrawn at any moment. Agreeing to join a plan does not mean agreeing to anything else.
- Sending unsolicited sexual messages or images is harassment and is grounds for an immediate permanent ban.
- Stop when the other person says they are uncomfortable.
- If the other person wants to leave during a meeting, that is not open to discussion.
Respect privacy
- Do not share another user's photos, messages or personal information without their permission.
- Do not take screenshots and spread them on other platforms.
- Do not try to find out someone's home or work address.
No fraud or commercial abuse
- Do not ask people you meet through PlanMEET for money, and do not send them money.
- Investment, cryptocurrency, betting or "guaranteed returns" offers are prohibited.
- Do not use PlanMEET to sell products, services or event tickets.
- Bulk messages directing people to other platforms count as spam.
No illegal or dangerous behaviour
- Plans involving illegal substances, weapons or contraband may not be created.
- Minors may not use PlanMEET. Report any account you believe belongs to someone under 18.
- Messages containing threats of violence result in an immediate permanent ban and, where necessary, a report to the competent authorities.
- Plans that put others at risk (driving without a licence, water sports without safety equipment, and so on) are removed.
Do not manipulate the platform
- Sending requests using bots, automation or scripts is prohibited.
- Bulk scraping of data is prohibited.
- Attempting to influence the rating system artificially is prohibited.
- Abusing the reporting system — organising mass reports against someone who does not deserve it — is itself a violation.
What happens after a violation
Enforcement is tiered; however, for serious violations the intermediate tiers are skipped and the most severe action is applied directly.
| Action | When it is applied |
|---|---|
| Warning | Minor first-time violations |
| Content removal | A photo, plan or message that breaks the rules |
| Feature restriction | Repeated spam or persistent messaging behaviour |
| Temporary suspension | Repeated violations or confirmed harassment reports |
| Permanent ban | Sexual harassment, threats, fraud, being under age, impersonation |
Right of appeal
If you believe an action taken against your account is wrong, you may appeal. Your appeal is reviewed by a moderator other than the one who made the decision.
The appeal route is described on the Support page.
