Weave Community Guidelines

Weave is a platform designed to cultivate meaningful relationships through both digital and real-world interactions. In order to foster a safe, inclusive, and respectful community, we hold our members accountable for their behavior—both online and in-person. Our guidelines ensure that Weave remains a supportive environment for creating real, genuine connections.

The following guidelines outline what is and isn't acceptable conduct on Weave. Violations may result in actions against your account.

Profile Guidelines

  • Age: You must be at least 18 years old to join Weave. Falsely representing your age will result in account removal. We reserve the right to request identification to verify your age.
  • Profile Photos: Weave only allows authentic and clear profile pictures that represent who you are. Photo verification is a must. At least one photo must show your full face. We do not allow:
    • Blurred, heavily filtered, or distorted photos that make it hard to identify you
    • Profile photos with overlaid text, stickers, or third-party symbols
    • Photos of children without an accompanying adult
    • Photos showing nudity or sexually explicit content
  • Username: Your username should be a representation of your real name, nickname, or preferred identifier. We do not allow usernames with offensive language, impersonations, or symbols.

Content and Conduct Guidelines

Digital and Physical Interactions

  • Respect in Real Life: Weave is about translating digital connections into real-world experiences. Respectful, kind, and considerate behavior is expected both online and in-person. Any form of harassment, intimidation, or inappropriate behavior during meetups organized through Weave is strictly prohibited.
  • Shared Experiences: Our platform encourages creating shared experiences in physical spaces. We expect all users to behave responsibly when attending events or group activities facilitated through Weave. This includes respecting the personal space, beliefs, and boundaries of others.

Bullying, Harassment, and Abusive Conduct

  • Kind Connections Only: We do not tolerate bullying, harassment, or any kind of abusive behavior. This includes both digital harassment (such as through messaging) and real-life intimidation. Unwanted or repeated contact is also not allowed.

Inappropriate Content and Nudity

  • No Explicit Content: Weave is about building meaningful, respectful connections. Nudity, sexually explicit content, or any form of vulgarity in your profile or during interactions is strictly forbidden.

Scamming and Fraud

  • Genuine Intentions: Any attempt to defraud, deceive, or scam members, whether online or in-person, will result in immediate removal from the platform. Misrepresentation of intentions, financial manipulation, or fake events is prohibited.

Inappropriate Use of Events and Groups

  • Event and Group Integrity: Weave allows users to create or participate in group activities. These experiences are meant to foster positive and respectful interactions. Misusing events for unrelated purposes or creating fake events to deceive or exploit others will not be tolerated.

Community Standards for Interaction

Consent and Boundaries

  • Respecting Boundaries: Consent is key to meaningful connections. You must respect other members' personal and emotional boundaries, whether in a conversation or during a real-life meetup. This includes not pressuring anyone into unwanted activities or discussions.

Inappropriate Behavior in Public Spaces

  • Conduct at Events: If you attend events or meetups facilitated through Weave, you are expected to act with courtesy and integrity. This includes following all venue rules, avoiding disruptive behavior, and being respectful toward fellow attendees.

Hate Speech and Discrimination

  • Inclusive Community: Weave is a platform where everyone should feel safe and welcome. We do not tolerate hate speech, discrimination, or bigotry based on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or nationality—whether online or in person. We encourage diversity and mutual respect in all interactions.

Real-World Safety and Conduct

Physical and Emotional Safety

  • Safety First: If you arrange in-person meetups or group activities, always prioritize safety. We encourage meeting in public places and informing a trusted contact about your plans. Any behavior that threatens someone's physical or emotional safety will lead to severe consequences.
  • Zero Tolerance for Violence: Weave has a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of physical violence, including stalking, threats, or abuse. Whether the incident occurs online or offline, members involved in such behavior will be permanently banned from Weave.

Responsible Event Hosting

  • Host Accountability: Members who create or host events through Weave must take responsibility for the experience they offer. This includes providing accurate information about the event, managing group dynamics, and ensuring that all participants feel safe and included.

Platform Integrity

Authentic Profiles

  • Be Yourself: Weave celebrates authenticity. Any form of impersonation, catfishing, or misrepresentation of who you are will result in removal from the platform. Be honest about your identity, intentions, and experiences.

Platform Manipulation

  • Genuine Interactions: Weave aims to create real, meaningful connections. Any attempts to manipulate or game the platform's algorithms, such as creating fake profiles or using scripts to automate interactions, are strictly prohibited.

Safety Reporting

At Weave, we take safety seriously. We employ a combination of human moderation and automated tools to keep our platform safe. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe due to a member's behavior, please use our in-app tools to report or block them. We also encourage you to report incidents of inappropriate or unsafe behavior during real-world interactions.

Enforcement and Accountability

If you violate these guidelines, we may take the following actions:

  • Issue warnings
  • Temporarily suspend or permanently ban your account
  • Remove content or events you've posted
  • Cooperate with law enforcement in case of criminal behavior

Weave's goal is to foster real connections, and we expect all members to contribute positively to this community. Let's work together to build a respectful, safe, and enjoyable environment both online and in the real world.

If you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

This version of the guidelines is more tailored to Weave's unique goal of facilitating real-world interactions based on digital connections, placing special emphasis on behavior both in virtual and physical spaces.
