Community rules
Everyone on Bind agrees to these when they join. They are short on purpose: they cover what keeps members safe and nothing else.
Who can join
You must be 18 or older.
No exceptions. Accounts that belong to anyone younger are closed.
Bind is for women, including trans women, and non-binary people.
Men are not allowed. A man posing as a woman is banned the first time it is confirmed.
One person, one profile.
No couple profiles, and no couples looking for a third.
How we treat each other
Never out anyone.
Do not share screenshots, names or anything that could identify a member outside Bind, and never threaten to.
No explicit photos unless someone has asked for them.
Sending them unasked is reported and acted on like harassment.
No harassment or hate.
That includes slurs, threats, and going after someone for their body, caste, religion, gender or how they present.
Respect people who are still working it out.
Nobody has to prove they are queer enough to be here.
Keep it real
Be yourself.
No fake profiles, no stolen photos, and no pretending to be someone else.
Bind is not for selling.
No ads, promotions, sex work solicitation or links to other services.
What happens when a rule is broken
- 1
A person reviews every report
The person reported is never told who reported them. A report that someone is a man posing as a woman pauses their verified badge straight away, until they pass the check again.
- 2
Upheld reports lower your standing
Every member has a community standing out of 100, shown on their profile. An upheld report lowers it, by more for more serious things like outing threats.
- 3
Some things end your account
Standing that reaches zero closes the account. A man posing as a woman is banned on the first upheld report, and our team can ban anyone straight away for serious harm.
- 4
False reports count too
Reporting someone you know has done nothing wrong lowers your own standing.
Reporting and appeals
To report someone, open their profile and tap the three dots. The safety page walks through it, including what to do if someone threatens to out you.
If your account is suspended and you think we got it wrong, you can appeal from the screen you see when you sign in, and a person will read it. You can also write to support@bind.app.
