๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Safety First. Always.

CosDates is built on a simple principle: every person on this platform deserves to feel safe, respected, and welcome. These are not suggestions. They are the foundation of everything we do.

Let's Be Clear About What CosDates Is NOT:
โŒ Not a hookup app
โŒ Not an adult content platform
โŒ Not a furry-specific platform
โŒ Not a place for solicitation
โŒ Not open to minors (18+ only)
โŒ Not a place for harassment

Our Three-Layer Moderation System

Layer 1 โ€” AI Scanning (Instant)

Every photo uploaded to CosDates is immediately scanned by AI image recognition tools. Content flagged as explicit, nude, or sexually suggestive is automatically removed before it ever appears on the platform. Bios and messages are scanned for prohibited solicitation keywords.

Layer 2 โ€” Human Review (Within 24 Hours)

All AI-flagged content is reviewed by a real human moderator within 24 hours. Our team reviews context, not just pixels. Appeals are handled with care. No one gets permanently banned without a human making that call.

Layer 3 โ€” Community Reporting (Always Available)

Every profile, photo, and message thread has a visible Report button. Reports are routed directly to our moderation queue with priority scoring. Reporters receive a follow-up within 48 hours.

Strike System

Violations of our community standards result in a progressive strike system. We believe in second chances โ€” but not third strikes for serious violations.

Strike 1
Formal warning + content removal
Strike 2
Temporary account suspension (7 days)
Strike 3
Permanent ban, no appeal

Note: Some violations (CSAM, credible threats, doxxing) result in immediate permanent ban and referral to law enforcement with no warning.

Zero-Tolerance Prohibited Content

The following content results in immediate account termination:

โœ— Sexual or sexually suggestive photos or language
โœ— Any content involving or directed at minors
โœ— Solicitation of any kind (paid services, explicit meetups)
โœ— Hate speech, slurs, or content targeting protected groups
โœ— Doxxing or sharing personal information without consent
โœ— Harassment, threats, or intimidation
โœ— Impersonating another person or cosplayer
โœ— Spam, scam links, or promotional content

Messaging Safety

CosDates uses match-gated messaging โ€” you can only send a message to someone after you have both liked each other's profiles. No cold DMs. No unsolicited contact. External links shared in messages are scanned and flagged until both parties have established an ongoing conversation. You can block or report any user directly from the message thread at any time, and that user will not be notified that you blocked them.
