Community Guidelines & Safety

Last updated: November 6, 2026 · These guidelines are part of our Terms of Service.

Prosh is built on one idea: real people, in the city they actually live in, talking and making plans. These rules keep that true. They apply to everything on Prosh — profiles, posts, comments, hangouts, communities and messages.

The spirit

• Be local and be honest. You’re here as yourself, from your city. No fake identities, no location tricks.
• Be decent. Disagree all you like; don’t be cruel. The people here are your actual neighbours.
• Make plans, not noise. Prosh is for conversation and meeting — not for broadcasting ads at your city.

Not allowed

• Harassment and hate: bullying, targeted abuse, threats, stalking, or content that demeans people based on who they are.
• Sexual content: pornographic or sexually explicit material, sexual solicitation, and — absolutely, without exception — any sexual content involving minors. The last of these is reported to law enforcement and the relevant child-safety authorities.
• Violence and danger: graphic violence, encouragement of self-harm, or organising harmful activity.
• Illegal activity: selling drugs, weapons or contraband; fraud, scams and phishing; impersonation of people, businesses or officials.
• Privacy violations: posting anyone’s phone number, address, documents, or real-time location without consent.
• Spam and manipulation: repetitive promotional posts, unsolicited commercial messaging, engagement bait, bots and fake accounts.
• Rights violations: content you don’t have the rights to post.

How enforcement works

• Report: tap the ••• menu on any post, comment, profile, hangout or message thread, or long-press where available. Reports are anonymous to the person reported.
• Block: blocking removes someone from your Prosh life — they can’t see your profile or content or contact you.
• Review: we review reports and aim to act on objectionable content within 24 hours, faster for safety-critical reports.
• Consequences scale with severity: content removal → a warning → feature limits → suspension → permanent ban. We may skip steps for serious violations, and banned users may not return under new accounts.
• Appeals: if you believe we made a mistake, email support@prosh.social with your account details and what happened. We re-check genuinely contestable decisions.

Meeting in person — stay safe

• Meet in public, busy places, especially the first time. Avoid sharing your home address.
• Tell a friend where you’re going and when you expect to be back; keep your phone charged and your own transport arranged.
• Trust your instincts — leave any situation that feels wrong, no explanation owed.
• Never send money, gift cards or financial details to someone you met on Prosh, however convincing the story. Romance, investment and “urgent help” scams all start this way.
• Prosh never asks for payments, codes or passwords by message. Anyone who does is not us.
• If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first, then report in the app.

Hangout organisers

• Describe the plan honestly — place, time, what to expect, any costs — and keep the listing updated.
• Run it safely and lawfully, and be present or clearly hand over hosting.
• Organisers who repeatedly no-show, mislead attendees or use hangouts to sell or solicit will lose hosting privileges.

Communities

• Admins set the tone: moderate consistently with these guidelines, and keep the community about what its name says.
• City communities stay city-scoped: they are for members verified in that city.
