Community Guidelines

Belavo is a small room full of real people. These rules keep it that way. Breaking them can mean a warning, a suspension, or a permanent ban without refund.

Effective October 31, 2026Last updated October 31, 2026Dopin LLC d/b/a Belavo

These Community Guidelines are part of the Terms of Service. They apply to everything you do on Belavo, and to your conduct off Belavo when it involves another member.

Be yourself, and only yourself

• One account, your real face, a name people call you, your true age. Belavo is for adults, 18 and over. Anyone who appears to be under 18 is removed at once.
• Evidence is your own real moment: no stock photos, no AI-generated or AI-altered images, no screenshots, no one else's photos, no photos of other people presented as you.
• Your face must be clear in your main photo and appear in at least one piece of evidence. No filters or sunglasses in the main photo.
• Be honest about what you are hoping for. "Friends", "relationship" or "either way" should mean what it says.
• Impersonating another person, a celebrity or a brand, or using a fake name, is not allowed.

Be kind in notes, chats and groups

• No harassment, threats, insults, bullying, hate speech or slurs. No comments about someone's body, race, religion, disability, gender identity or sexual orientation that they did not invite.
• No sexual or explicit content, requests or pressure. No nudity in evidence, photos or messages. No unsolicited sexual messages.
• No pressure to move off Belavo, share a phone number, address or workplace, or meet before someone is ready. Take no for an answer.
• Don't contact someone who passed on you or blocked you through another account, a group, a friend or another channel.
• A group chat is only for people who are already connected with the member who created it. Don't add anyone to a group to pressure, expose, mock or exclude them. Anyone may leave a group at any time.
• Voice messages follow the same rules as text.

Keep money out of it

• No asking for, offering or sending money, gift cards, crypto, investments or financial details, for any reason. No "emergencies", no "I'll pay you back".
• No selling, promoting, recruiting, fundraising, influencer, affiliate or business use of any kind. No links to paid content, subscriptions or other apps.
• No escort services, sex work solicitation or anything that trades intimacy for money.
• Gifts in Belavo are a kindness, not a transaction. A gift used to pressure, follow up or reach someone who passed is misuse.

Respect privacy and safety

• Don't screenshot, record, share or post other members' photos, evidence, names, messages, places or whereabouts outside Belavo, with or without their name.
• Don't stalk, track, follow or show up uninvited. Don't try to find out where someone lives or works.
• Any act, attempt or threat of violence, sexual misconduct, non-consensual contact, drugging, theft, coercion or intimidation, online or in person, is a permanent ban and may be reported to law enforcement.
• No weapons, violence, self-harm, illegal drugs or illegal activity in evidence, photos or messages. No content that promotes or glorifies any of these.
• No content involving minors in any way, and no content that sexualizes or endangers them. We report child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
• Don't collect or scrape information about members, and don't use bots or automation.

Reporting

Report anyone from their profile, a note, a chat, a group or a gift. Choose the reason that fits: rude, sexual or harassing messages; fake profile or stolen photos; evidence that isn't really theirs; scam or asking for money; made me feel unsafe in person; may be under 18; unwanted gifts; or something else. Reports are anonymous; the person is never told who reported them. You can block without reporting, and the person is never told you blocked them either.

Consequences

A real person on our team reviews every report. Depending on severity and history, we may:

• send a warning or a reminder of these Guidelines;
• remove content or require it to be replaced;
• require a new face check;
• limit features, such as notes or gifts, for a period;
• suspend the account; or
• ban the account permanently, without refund, and prevent the person from creating a new one.

Violence, sexual misconduct, exploitation of minors, scams and stalking result in a permanent ban on the first confirmed report. We also act on behavior that happens off Belavo when it involves another member. We may not share the outcome or the reason with you when doing so could affect someone's safety or privacy. If you think a decision about your own account was wrong, email [email protected] within 30 days and a different reviewer will look at it.
