Real identity
Mandatory verification, current photos, and truthful bios keep the community authentic.
See verification rules →Human-first rules that keep Dahlia trustworthy.
Every match relies on real identities, respectful conversations, and proactive safety tools. These guidelines apply to all users, on every device, at all times.
Respectful messaging
Zero tolerance for harassment, hate, spam, or coercion in chats or video calls.
Review conduct guide →Swift enforcement
BTS drops, shadow limits, suspensions, and removals protect members in real time.
Explore enforcement →1. Purpose & Scope
These Community Guidelines explain how we interpret “respectful behavior” on Dahlia and how the Behavioral Trust Score (BTS) responds to conduct. They apply to all profiles, messages, video calls, uploads, names, and off-platform conduct that impacts user safety.
2. Authentic Profiles & Verification
- Complete the live selfie verification whenever prompted and keep profile photos accurate and recent.
- One account per person. Selling, sharing, or “catfishing” with borrowed identities is grounds for removal.
- Disclose honest information in bios, match preferences, and onboarding questionnaires.
3. Messaging Conduct
Conversations should feel as safe and respectful as a first meeting in public. The following behavior is prohibited:
- Harassment, hate speech, threats, coercion, or glamorizing self-harm.
- Unsolicited explicit content, fetishization, or pressuring others for photos.
- Spam, pyramid schemes, crypto solicitations, or requests for money.
- Sharing someone else’s personal information without consent (“doxxing”).
4. Content & Conduct We Remove
- Impersonation, AI-generated faces presented as real people, or manipulated verification attempts.
- Illegal activity, including trafficking, drug sales, or weapon advertising.
- Sexually explicit or exploitative content involving minors (automatic law-enforcement referral).
- Automated account creation, scraping, or reverse engineering the App.
5. Reporting & Safety Tools
Use the in-app report, block, and SOS buttons located within every profile and conversation. Our moderation team reviews urgent safety reports 24/7, and you can email safety@dahlia.app for follow-up.
6. Enforcement Ladder & BTS Impact
- Soft interventions: Education prompts, BTS nudges, or temporary discovery limits.
- Feature limits: Chat restrictions, read-only mode, or hidden profile placement.
- Suspensions & removals: Immediate account shutdown for severe or repeat violations.
You will receive an in-app notice when enforcement occurs. Each notice includes a “Request Human Review” option.
7. Off-Platform Conduct
Serious incidents that begin on Dahlia but continue elsewhere (harassment, stalking, violence, scams) may still affect your BTS and account status. Share police reports or screenshots with safety@dahlia.app so we can act quickly.
8. Updates & Contact
We revise these Guidelines as new safety risks emerge. We will post the revision date at the top of this page and highlight major changes via in-app notices. Questions? Email safety@dahlia.app.
