Community Guidelines
Help us maintain a respectful, safe community for everyone.
Communicate Respectfully
Treat others as you'd want to be treated. Harassment, hate speech, bullying, and threatening language have no place on Connecta. Respect when someone isn't interested.
Keep Content Appropriate
Don't share sexually explicit photos or content. Public nudity, pornography, and graphic violence are not permitted. This includes in profiles, messages, and during video calls.
Follow the Law
Don't use Connecta for illegal activities. This includes prostitution, trafficking, drug dealing, or any other unlawful purposes. We cooperate with law enforcement when required.
No Scams or Spam
Don't ask users for money, promote businesses, or send spam messages. Romance scams are a serious crime. Never send money to someone you've only met online.
One Account Per Person
Everyone gets one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent bans or manipulate the system results in permanent removal from Connecta.
Respect Privacy
Don't share private conversations, photos, or personal information of other users outside of Connecta without their explicit consent. Revenge porn is illegal and will be reported to authorities.
Report Violations
Help keep our community safe by reporting profiles or messages that violate these guidelines. Your reports are anonymous and help us take action against bad actors.
See Something? Say Something.
If you encounter behavior that violates our guidelines or makes you feel unsafe, please report it immediately. All reports are confidential.
