Safety & Reporting

Last updated: 2025

Realmatch.Social is designed for adults who want real, low-drama connections in virtual worlds. This page explains how to stay safer, how reporting works, and what you can expect from us when something goes wrong.

1. Who this page is for

These safety guidelines apply to everyone using Realmatch.Social in virtual worlds such as Second Life and OpenSim-based grids (including, for example, Alternate Metaverse), as well as through our website and HUD/MOAP tools.

They do not replace our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, but are meant to explain things in clearer, more practical language.

2. General safety tips

Some reminders that apply to any virtual-world dating or social service:

• Take your time getting to know people. You do not owe anyone personal details, photos, or time.
• Be cautious about sharing real-life information such as your full name, address, phone number, or workplace.
• Be careful with links, teleports, and objects sent by people you do not know well.
• Trust your instincts. If someone makes you uncomfortable, you can block, unmatch, or walk away.

3. Staying safe in Second Life & OpenSim

Realmatch.Social does not control Second Life, OpenSim grids, or any third-party viewers. When you meet someone in-world:

• Prefer public venues, especially for early meetups or first dates.
• Avoid accepting objects, scripted attachments, or private teleports from people you do not know well.
• Be careful with voice or video if you are not ready; you never have to use voice if you do not want to.
• Use built-in tools (block, mute, derender, teleport away) if someone is bothering you.

4. Protecting your information

• Only share what you are comfortable sharing. You can keep most conversation inside the virtual world if you prefer.
• Do not send passwords, account details, or payment information to anyone claiming to be “staff” unless you have verified them through official channels.
• Be skeptical of anyone asking for money, gift cards, or “emergency help” soon after meeting.

5. Recognizing scams and fake profiles

Common red flags include:

• Pressure to send L$, money, or items “to prove you are real” or “to help in an emergency.”
• Promises of jobs, modeling opportunities, or quick income if you pay them first.
• Profiles that seem too perfect, reuse obvious stock images, or refuse to talk normally in-world.
• People who immediately ask you to leave the platform and move to a random external site or messenger.

If something feels off, stop the conversation, block the user if needed, and consider sending us a report.

6. Harassment, threats, and non-consensual behavior

Realmatch.Social is a “no drama” environment. You should not be subjected to harassment, threats, or pressure to do anything you do not want to do.

Examples of behavior that is not acceptable include:

• Insults, aggressive language, or targeted harassment.
• Stalking or repeatedly showing up in-world after being asked to stop.
• Sexual pressure, non-consensual RP, or ignoring clear “no,” “stop,” or “I’m not comfortable.”
• Threats of harm in-world or in real life, blackmail, or attempts to expose/doxx someone.

If this happens, you can block the user, leave the area, and submit a report. In serious situations you may also want to report the behavior to the platform operator (for example, Linden Lab for Second Life or the relevant OpenSim grid owner).

7. How reporting works

Realmatch.Social includes or may include tools to block and report users or content that violate our rules. When you submit a report:

• We encourage you to give a short description of what happened and, if you are comfortable, include screenshots or evidence.
• Our team will review the report, along with any history or patterns that may be relevant.
• We do not automatically punish someone based on a single unverified complaint; we look for clear evidence or patterns.
• If we find serious or repeated violations, we may warn, limit, suspend, or remove the offending account from Realmatch.Social.

We are not able to resolve every personal disagreement, but we do aim to act on harassment, scams, serious safety concerns, and clear violations of our Terms.

8. False reports and misuse of safety tools

Safety tools are there to protect you, not to be used as a weapon in personal disputes, breakups, or drama.

• Knowingly making a false report, or using reports to retaliate against someone, is itself a violation of our rules.
• Patterns of clearly false or abusive reporting may result in warnings, limits, or removal from the Service.

If you believe a report made about you was unfair, you may contact us and, where appropriate, we may review the situation again.

9. Privacy and what we do not do

We understand that privacy is especially important in virtual worlds and dating communities. In line with our Privacy Policy:

• We do not access or read your private instant messages inside Second Life, OpenSim, or other grids.
• If our own tools offer messaging features, we may store those messages to deliver them to recipients, but we do not analyze private one-to-one chats for advertising.
• We may use automated tools to check images you upload for things like nudity or explicit content, but this is to enforce our content rules and keep public areas PG-13.
• We only review screenshots or message excerpts if you choose to submit them as part of a safety report.

10. Meeting people in real life

Realmatch.Social is primarily focused on virtual-world connections, but some users may choose to meet in real life. If you decide to do this, please:

• Meet in a public place and let a friend or family member know where you are going.
• Arrange your own transportation and do not rely on someone you just met to drive you.
• Keep your personal belongings and devices secure.
• Leave immediately if something feels wrong or unsafe.

Realmatch.Social cannot monitor or control real-life meetings and is not responsible for what happens offline, but we encourage you to prioritize your safety at all times.

11. Emergencies and serious threats

Realmatch.Social is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger in real life, contact your local emergency services right away.

For serious threats, stalking, or ongoing harassment, you may also want to:

• Use the platform’s own abuse-reporting tools (for example, reporting to Linden Lab or the relevant OpenSim grid operator).
• Save logs or screenshots that may be useful if authorities or platform owners need more information.
