Community rules
Weejo is for going out with people. To keep that simple and safe, there are a few rules. They are part of the terms of use and apply everywhere in the app: your profile, your outings, the discussions, the badges, matchmaking and the feedback you send us. This is a translation of the French text, which prevails in case of discrepancy.
Be yourself
- You are 16 or over, and your date of birth is the real one.
- Your photo is you. Not another person, not a character, not a brand.
- One account per person. No account to get around a suspension.
- You do not pass yourself off as someone else: not a person, not an organisation, not a member of the Weejo team.
- An organisation (association, bar, venue, public body) presents itself as such, from a verified professional account.
Respect others
- No harassment, insults, threats, or mockery about appearance, origin, religion, gender, orientation, disability or age.
- You sign up for an activity, not for a conversation: no unsolicited advances, no insisting after a no.
- No sexual content, whether in a photo, in text or as a disguised outing.
- What belongs to others stays theirs: no photo of someone without their consent, no number, address or surname shared on their behalf, no screenshot of a discussion posted elsewhere.
- A deleted message is deleted for everyone, but a report may keep a copy. Write what you would stand by face to face.
- If someone bothers you, block them: you will no longer see each other in the app, and they will not know.
Propose real outings
- An outing says what it is, where and when. No misleading description, no fake outing to draw a crowd.
- An outing you can no longer hold, you cancel or move: participants are told automatically.
- No dangerous or illegal activity, no outing whose real purpose is to sell something, to recruit, to proselytise or to meet minors.
- You comply with the law, in particular on alcohol and minors. An outing can set a minimum age; use it when needed.
- Nothing is bought and nothing is paid through Weejo. A seat is not for sale, and neither is an invite code.
No hidden advertising, no scams
- An organisation talking about its activity does so from an identified professional account. From an individual's account, that is hidden advertising, and it is prohibited.
- No cold approaches, no fraudulent links, no harvesting of addresses or numbers, no pyramid schemes, no fake ticketing.
- Badges are given; they are not negotiated and not traded for a favour.
Minors
Members aged 16 and 17 are present. Their age is visible on their profile. Any behaviour by an adult aimed at isolating, seducing or luring a minor is reported to the authorities. Matchmaking is closed to them.
Stay careful in real life
Weejo does not organise outings and cannot intervene on the spot.
- Choose a public place for a first outing, and get there by your own means.
- Tell someone you trust where you are going.
- Keep a way to get home by yourself, and do not give out your address.
- Sharing your position during an outing is meant for someone close to you, not for a whole discussion.
- In an emergency, call the emergency services: 112 anywhere in Europe, 17 for the police in France, 3114 if you need someone to talk to.
Report, we read
You can report a profile, an outing or a message from the app, in three taps. Your report is anonymous towards the person concerned, it is read by a person on our team, and you are told when it has been reviewed. A word list helps us spot what to read first; it decides nothing.
Reporting to harm someone, or mass-reporting for no reason, is also a breach of these rules.
What happens if a rule is broken
Depending on seriousness and repetition:
- The content is removed, or the outing cancelled.
- You receive a reminder of the rules, which says what it is about. The next reminder suspends the account.
- The account is suspended, for a set period or not.
- The account is deleted.
A serious breach (threats, endangerment, sexual content involving a minor, fraud) skips the steps and may be passed on to the authorities. Every measure reaches you with its reason, and you can contest it by writing to contact@weejo.app.
