Community Guidelines

VIA MEET only works if members treat each other, organizers and attendees with respect — online and in person. These guidelines apply to everyone, everywhere on the platform.

The basics

Non-negotiable rules for everyone on VIA MEET.

18+ only

VIA MEET is restricted to adults. Misrepresenting your age is a violation.

Respect

Treat every member, organizer and attendee with basic courtesy, regardless of background or identity.

No harassment

Unwanted contact, persistent messaging after being declined, or targeting someone is not tolerated.

No hate

No hate speech, slurs or content that attacks people based on identity, origin, religion or orientation.

No threats

Threats of violence or intimidation, in messages or in person, result in immediate removal.

No impersonation

Do not pretend to be someone else, another organizer, or misrepresent your identity or affiliations.

No illegal activity

Do not use VIA MEET to organize, promote or facilitate anything illegal.

Real-world safety first

Meet in public settings when possible, tell someone your plans, and trust your judgment.

Attendance and organizer responsibility

Discovering an activity is easy; showing up responsibly matters.

Attendee responsibility

If you RSVP to an activity, show up or update your status. Respect the venue, other attendees, and any rules the organizer sets.

Organizer responsibility

Organizers are expected to describe activities accurately, communicate changes promptly, and create a welcoming, safe environment for attendees.

Independent activities

VIA MEET is a discovery platform. Organizers, not VIA MEET, are responsible for running the activities they list.

Reporting a problem

If you experience or witness a violation of these guidelines, report it through the in-app reporting tools once available, or contact us directly using the email below.

Reports are reviewed and may result in warnings, content removal, or account suspension depending on severity.

Emergencies

VIA MEET is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.
