Welcome to Dating Chat. To keep this room safe and enjoyable for everyone, please read the rules below. They sit alongside our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
This room is 18+ only. You must not be here if you are under 18. Accounts found to belong to under-18s are removed. This is an adult room, but it is not an explicit room — no sexual content is allowed here.
Absolutely no underage content of any kind — no images, no roleplay, no usernames, no requests. This is the one rule with no warning, no appeal, and a report attached.
1. Age and Language
- 18+ only. You must not be here if you are under 18.
- English only in the main chat. You are welcome to use other languages in private messages. This is so our moderators can actually read and act on what is happening in the room.
2. Chat Etiquette
- Be respectful. No hate speech, slurs, discrimination, or personal insults.
- No disruptive behaviour: no spamming, trolling, excessive capitals, or bullying.
- If someone is bothering you, use the built‑in Ignore feature. You do not owe anyone your attention.
- Do not start or continue arguments on behalf of other people. If there is a problem, report it and let the moderators handle it.
3. Safety and Privacy
- Think twice before sharing anything personal. Your full name, your address, your phone number, your other social media — once it is out, it is out, and it can end up in the wrong hands.
- No doxing or posting other people's private information. Even if they say it is fine, we do not allow it.
- No impersonating or exploiting minors — ever. There is no warning for this and no second chance.
- Never click links shared by other users. Sharing links to other websites is not allowed here, and a link you did not expect is almost always either a scam or worse.
- Use the tools we have given you. Block users who contact you when you do not want them to, set your private messages to friends only, and report anyone who breaks these rules using the in‑chat reporting tools.
- VPNs and proxies are generally not allowed and most are blocked by our systems. We only require limited information to take part and we keep it safe, so there is no need for one.
4. Content Guidelines
This is an adult room, but it is NOT an explicit room. No sexual content of any kind is permitted here. That means no explicit discussion, no sexual roleplay, no nudity, and no explicit images, media, or webcam — in the main chat and in private messages alike.
If explicit content is what you are looking for, we run rooms for that. Use Adult Chat instead. Bringing it in here will get you removed from this room.
- No photographs or images of anyone under 18 — at all, in any context. This is an adults-only room, so pictures of children have no place in it even when they are completely innocent: no family photos, no baby or school pictures, no "this is my kid", no images of minors in your profile, your uploads, your webcam, or the chat. Images posted here get copied by people you cannot see, and we will not have children exposed to that. Post one and it will be removed; do it deliberately and you will be.
- Keep content PG‑13. No explicit sexual discussion, drug talk, or sexual roleplaying.
- No nudity or sexually explicit imagery anywhere — not in your profile, your uploads, your webcam, or the chat.
- Absolutely no underage content — no images, roleplay, usernames, or requests involving anyone under 18 or presented as under 18.
- No incest, bestiality, or other illegal topics — even as a joke.
- No offensive GIFs, memes, images, drawings, or voice memos — nothing violent, hateful, or sexually explicit.
- No flashing or strobing media, hate symbols, or using media to attack other people.
- No banned slurs, and do not bring up sensitive subjects such as rape, self‑harm, terrorism, or suicide.
- No advertising or promoting social media accounts, other websites, products, or services of any kind.
- Screenshots are fine — just do not use them to troll, bully, or humiliate anyone.
5. Profiles and Usernames
- Keep usernames and profile content appropriate and readable.
- Do not change your username while you are muted.
- No images of anyone under 18 in your profile.
- No multiple accounts to evade a mute, kick, ban, or any other moderator action.
- This chat uses AI moderation to check profile and background picture uploads. It is not perfect and you may occasionally see a false positive or a false negative, so please keep reporting profile pictures that break the rules.
6. Discussion Topics
- Any topic is allowed as long as it does not break a rule on this page.
- Politics and religion are fine to discuss — respect the people you disagree with, and move the conversation to private messages if a moderator asks you to.
- Hateful content is not a discussion topic. It is a rule break.
7. Child Safety
This is an adult room, and child safety is still enforced here absolutely. Images uploaded across our domain are automatically scanned against hash lists of known child sexual abuse material.
We report illegal content, and the accounts behind it, to law enforcement and to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). We work with law enforcement agencies internationally and give investigators the support they need to do their work here.
Any account used for underage content, or to solicit it, is removed permanently and reported. There is no warning and no appeal — and you have no way of knowing who is reading.
You can read more about how child safety works across #1 Chat Avenue in our blog post on automated CSEA detection.
8. VIP and Gold
- VIP status does not exempt you from any rule on this page. Mutes, kicks, and bans apply exactly the same.
- VIP features — the drawing tool, webcams, voice calling, and the rest — are subject to every rule above.
- Illegal purchases of VIP or Gold, including paying with someone else's bank card without their permission, will be referred to law enforcement.
- Getting banned forfeits your entire Gold balance.
9. Reporting
We staff human moderators to monitor the room, but we cannot see everything. Reporting is the single most useful thing you can do, and it takes two seconds:
- Report a message: click the three dots beside the message.
- Report a profile: click the flag icon on that person's profile.
- Contact a moderator directly: moderators have a shield icon beside their name and appear at the top of the user list. Send them a private message.
Report it while it is happening. We do not keep logs of chat conversations, so a report made at the time is far more useful than one made a week later.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local police first. In the United States you can also report directly to the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1‑800‑843‑5678.
10. Enforcement
- Depending on how serious the violation is, you may receive a warning, a mute, a kick, or a ban.
- Repeat offenders will be banned, even for minor infractions.
- All moderator directions must be followed.
- Harassment of moderators will not be tolerated.
- Some things carry no warning at all: child sexual abuse material, any underage content or roleplay, soliciting sexual content of a minor, and advertising or trading such material. These result in an immediate permanent ban and, where appropriate, a report to law enforcement.
11. A Word From Us
Our moderators and our safety systems do a great deal, and we have improved them significantly over the past several years. But they are not a substitute for your own judgement. No filter can tell you whether the person you are talking to is being honest about who they are.
Be careful with strangers and keep your personal information to yourself. Use the block and report tools — they work, and they are the fastest way to get a problem in front of a human being.
