Community Guidelines
A video chat here is two people having a conversation. Be the person you would want on the other side of the screen.
Who these apply to
Everyone on Yapping Chat — you and the girl you are talking to alike. Everyone must be at least 18 years old.
What a good chat looks like
- Show up on camera. A live picture, not a black screen or a still image.
- Start light. Easy questions work better than personal ones — the conversation starters are there for that.
- Take no for an answer. If she would rather not talk about something, move on. A no does not need a reason.
- Leave when it is over. Either of you can end a chat at any time; paying for a chat does not change that.
Removed straight away
- Anything involving a person under 18, in any form. The account is removed at once and the matter is passed to the authorities.
- Explicit material on camera, from either side. Chats stay non-explicit.
- Recording the other person, or passing on any part of a chat.
- Threats or pressure — including pushing someone for money, photos, or contact details somewhere else.
Removed if it continues
- Harassment: insults, intimidation, or carrying on after a no.
- Hate aimed at who someone is.
- Impersonation, including using someone else's face or photos.
- Selling, advertising or recruiting. A chat whose purpose is to send someone elsewhere does not belong here.
How reports are handled
A person reviews every report, along with the reason, details and any screenshots (up to three) sent with it. You can report someone during the call, or from their profile, your chat or the live room. Messages are not read as a matter of routine. An account removed under these guidelines cannot sign up again with a new account (removals can be appealed — see below). Blocks take effect immediately and can be lifted any time from your block list.
Appeals
If you believe your account was removed by mistake, write to us through Contact and a person will look again. The formal rules are in the Terms of Service.
