Community Guidelines

Last updated: 2025

Realmatch.Social is built for real people, low drama, and respectful connections in virtual worlds. These Community Guidelines explain what we expect from everyone using our services in Second Life, OpenSim-based grids (including Alternate Metaverse), and on our website.

1. How these guidelines relate to our Terms

These Community Guidelines are a plain-language companion to our Terms of Service. They do not replace the Terms, but they explain how we apply our rules in practice.

Using Realmatch.Social means you agree to follow both the Community Guidelines and the Terms of Service.

2. Core principles

Everything on Realmatch.Social is built around a few simple ideas:

• Real people: Be honest about who you are in-world. No fake personas designed to deceive.
• Respect: Treat others the way you would expect to be treated.
• Consent: “No” and “Stop” always mean stop, in chat, RP, and relationships.
• No drama: This is not the place for harassment, revenge, or public feuds.
• Safety first: If something feels wrong, you can block, report, and step away.

3. Adults only

• Realmatch.Social is for adults aged 18+ only (or the legal age of majority in your region).
• Child avatars, child-like personas in sexual contexts, or any form of sexualized minor content are strictly prohibited.
• If we believe an account is being used by or on behalf of a minor, we may remove access for safety reasons.

4. Profile honesty and identity

To keep the experience genuine:

• Do not impersonate other users, staff, creators, or public figures.
• Do not steal or reuse someone else’s photos, avatars, or branding as if they were your own.
• Do not create multiple accounts for the purpose of tricking, harassing, or manipulating others.
• Light roleplay and creative avatars are welcome, but deliberate deception about key facts (for example, age or gender) is not.

5. Photos, profile images, and public content

Public-facing content on Realmatch.Social should be suitable for a PG-13-style environment, even though the Service is for adults:

• No full nudity or visible genitals in profile or gallery pictures that are publicly shown.
• No explicit sexual acts, pornographic poses, or content designed to be sexually graphic.
• No sexualized child or child-like avatars, under any circumstances.
• No glorification of extreme violence, gore, or hateful symbols.

We may use automated tools and third-party services to help detect and remove content that breaks these rules. We may blur, block, or delete images that violate our standards and may take action on the related account.

6. Respectful behavior toward others

To keep Realmatch.Social welcoming, we do not allow:

• Harassment, bullying, or targeted attacks against any user.
• Hate speech, slurs, or demeaning comments about someone’s identity or personal characteristics.
• Stalking, doxxing, or attempts to expose someone’s real-life identity without their consent.
• Threats of harm, blackmail, or intimidation, whether in-world or offline.
• Non-consensual RP or ignoring someone’s clear request to stop or leave them alone.

If you disagree with someone, you can choose to unmatch, mute, or block them instead of escalating conflict.

7. Boundaries, consent, and dating etiquette

• Respect personal boundaries. No one is required to share voice, cam, RL pictures, or private details.
• No means no. Do not pressure someone to continue a conversation, relationship, or scene they do not want.
• It is normal and acceptable for someone to decide they are not interested. That is not a reason to insult or report them.
• Ask before escalating topics, especially sexual or highly personal conversations.

8. Scams, money, and “too good to be true” offers

We do not allow the Service to be used for scams or financial abuse. Prohibited behavior includes:

• Asking for Linden Dollars, money, gift cards, or valuables under false pretenses.
• Fake “job offers” that require upfront payment or access to your accounts.
• Any attempt to trick users into visiting malicious websites, giving away passwords, or disabling their security.

If someone is repeatedly asking for money or making suspicious offers, disconnect and consider reporting them.

9. Bots, automation, and spam

• Do not use bots, scripts, or automated tools to mass-message, scrape, or manipulate Realmatch.Social.
• Do not send the same unsolicited message to large numbers of people.
• Using our tools primarily to advertise unrelated services, stores, or venues without permission is considered spam.

10. Using safety tools and reports responsibly

Realmatch.Social offers (or may offer) tools such as block, mute, and report to help keep you safe. Using them responsibly is part of being in this community.

• Use block or unmatch when you simply do not want further contact with someone.
• Use report when there is harassment, explicit content, scams, or clear violations of these Guidelines or our Terms.
• Do not file reports simply because someone rejected you, ended a conversation, or declined to share personal information.
• Knowingly filing false or malicious reports is itself a guideline violation and may lead to limits or removal.

11. Consequences for breaking these guidelines

When these Guidelines are broken, we may take one or more of the following actions, depending on the severity and pattern:

• Send a warning or reminder about the rules.
• Remove or restrict specific content (such as images or profile text).
• Limit certain features (messaging, matching, visibility) for a period of time.
• Suspend or permanently ban the account from Realmatch.Social.

We may also need to act quickly and without prior notice if we believe there is a serious risk to users or the community.

12. Changes to these guidelines

As Realmatch.Social grows and expands across Second Life and OpenSim-based worlds, we may update these Community Guidelines. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the Service after updates are posted means you accept the revised Guidelines.

13. Questions or feedback
