Community Safety Guidelines
Effective date · May 27, 2026
huntique connects people who share a physical space — a festival, a campus, a neighborhood, a venue. That makes safety different from a typical chat app: a harasser can know roughly where you are. We take that seriously. These guidelines describe what we prohibit, how we enforce, and the tools you have to protect yourself.
1. Zero tolerance
The following lead to immediate account termination on first verified report:
- Sexual content involving minors. Reported to law enforcement.
- Non-consensual intimate imagery (revenge porn, hidden-camera footage, upskirt or down-blouse images).
- Credible threats of violence, including threats to a user's physical safety, their family, or their workplace.
- Doxxing — publishing another user's real name, home address, workplace, phone number, or other identifying data without consent.
- Coordinated harassment targeting a single user.
2. Not allowed
Harassment, stalking, and unwanted contact
- No sexual harassment, slurs, or hostile messages about a person's identity (gender, sexuality, race, religion, disability).
- No following, tracking, or trying to physically locate another user without their consent. huntique exists to enable shared-space chat, not to enable stalking.
- No creating new accounts to evade a block or ban.
- If someone has told you to stop contacting them, stop.
Illicit recording
- No taking, sharing, or distributing photos or video of another person without their consent in places where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy (bathrooms, changing rooms, hotel rooms, anywhere intimate).
- No upskirt or hidden-camera content of any kind.
Illegal goods, services, and conduct
- No buying, selling, or coordinating the exchange of drugs, weapons, stolen goods, or counterfeit items.
- No sex work transactions, including soliciting, advertising, or arranging.
- No violence or planning of violence, including hooliganism, brawls, or organized fights.
- No promotion of self-harm or suicide. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out to a local crisis hotline immediately.
Personal data and impersonation
- Do not ask other users for their real name, home address, workplace, phone number, or financial information.
- Do not impersonate huntique staff, public figures, or other users.
- Do not post another user's personal data, screenshots of private DMs, or photos of them taken without consent.
Spam and abuse
- No spam, flooding, mass-DMing, or repetitive advertising.
- No bots, automation, or scraping.
- No location spoofing, GPS faking, or any other attempt to enter rooms you are not physically inside.
3. Reporting and blocking
How to report
- Tap the ··· icon on a message, user, room, or post.
- Choose Report and select the reason that best matches what happened.
- Optionally add context. Reports are anonymous to the reported user; we only see the reporter's account for follow-up.
For severe issues that need urgent attention — threats, doxxing, CSAM — email safety@huntique.club with the room id and the user's avatar/timestamp. We monitor this address closely.
How to block
Tap a user's avatar → Block. A blocked user can no longer DM you and their messages in shared rooms are hidden from your view. Blocks are private to you.
What happens after a report
- Reports are reviewed by huntique staff, typically within 24 hours.
- If a violation is confirmed, we apply the appropriate enforcement step (see section 4) and notify the reported user of the action taken and the reason.
- For zero-tolerance categories (section 1), the account is terminated immediately on the first verified report.
4. Enforcement ladder
- Warning + content removal — first-time, lower-severity violation.
- Temporary mute — cannot post in a specific room for a set period.
- Room ban — permanently removed from a specific room.
- Account suspension — cannot sign in for a set period.
- Account termination — permanent removal, and IP/device-level blocking against re-registration.
Severity, repeat offenses, and the impact on other users determine the starting step. Repeated reports on the same account within 30 days accelerate enforcement. Three substantiated reports inside the same week typically result in suspension.
5. Hosts
The person who creates a room is its host. Hosts can delete messages, mute users, ban users, and set an entry code. Hosts are expected to enforce these Safety Guidelines in their room and to escalate to huntique staff anything they cannot handle locally. Hosts who repeatedly fail to act on serious safety issues may lose host privileges or have their rooms removed.
6. Nightlife and adult rooms (18+)
Some rooms — for example, those associated with bars, clubs, or 18+ events — are flagged as nightlife or adult-oriented. To enter:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must self-attest your age at the entry gate.
- Hosts may add additional checks at their discretion.
The following remain prohibited even inside adult rooms:
- Any sexual content involving minors. (See section 1.)
- Non-consensual intimate imagery.
- Sex-work transactions.
- Drug sales, drink-spiking discussions, or coordinating any other illegal activity.
- Stalking or photographing other patrons without consent.
7. If you're in immediate danger
Please contact local emergency services first. huntique is not an emergency service and we cannot dispatch help. After you are safe, report the incident to us at safety@huntique.club so we can take action on the account and preserve evidence for any law-enforcement request.
8. Law-enforcement requests
We respond to valid legal requests from competent authorities. We require a properly issued legal process for non-public data and we publish a transparency note about aggregate request volumes. Where allowed by law, we notify the affected user.
