Community Guidelines

Effective 2026-05-01

Adorable is built on respect, consent, and local warmth. To keep it that way, every account agrees to these rules. We enforce them. Severe or repeated violations result in permanent suspension under our Terms of Service.

1. Be kind

No harassment, hate speech, threats, or discriminatory language based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or any protected status.

2. Be real

Use your own photo and name. No impersonating other people, businesses, or brands. No fake check-ins. Phone verification is required to send messages — this is a safety gate, not an inconvenience.

3. Respect presence

Check-ins and "Live on map" presence are time-limited by design. Don't lurk, wait, or build a pattern around someone else's location. Don't share another user's location, photo, voice notes, or messages outside the app without their consent.

4. Meet safely

If you agree to meet someone in person, choose a public place, tell someone you trust, and trust your instincts. Adorable is an introduction, not an endorsement. We can't verify intent.

5. No illegal content or activity

No content depicting or promoting violence, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), trafficking, drug sales, weapons sales, or other illegal activity. CSAM is reported to the relevant authorities, full stop.

6. No spam, scams, or commercial solicitation

No mass messaging, phishing, romance scams, crypto pitches, "investment opportunities", or unsolicited advertising. Promote your own business outside the app.

7. Report, don't retaliate

Block and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. Don't retaliate, dox, or organize pile-ons. We review every report.

8. Photo standards

Profile photos must clearly show your face. No nudity, no group photos as your hero shot, no logos, no minors. Place photos you submit must be your own or properly licensed.

What happens if you violate these

Reports are reviewed by Adorable's moderation team. Depending on severity we will: warn, suspend, or permanently ban the account; remove offending content; and where required by law, report to authorities. Suspended accounts retain their data for 30 days during which they may appeal to hello@oriverse.com.
