Community Guidelines

Core Philosophy: Respect & Transparency

Sugare operates on foundational pillars of honesty, discretion, and mutual respect. Whether joining as a Sugar Baby, Sugar Daddy, or Sugar Mommy, members must treat one another with dignity. Membership is a privilege, not an entitlement, and requires adherence to these standards.

1. Strict 18+ Age Restriction

Minors are strictly prohibited: Sugare is exclusively an adult platform. Anyone attempting to create an account who is under eighteen (18) years old will be permanently banned. Any attempt to solicit or distribute media involving minors will be reported immediately to law enforcement authorities.

2. Genuine Profiles & No Impersonation

Use Your Real Photos: All profile pictures must represent you. Uploading stock photos, photos of celebrities, or pictures of other private individuals without consent is prohibited.
No Impersonation: Falsely representing yourself as an administrator, public figure, or another member will result in immediate profile removal.
Photo Verification: We encourage members to apply for photo verification to foster trust. Submitted verification selfies are reviewed confidentially by human moderators and never displayed on profiles.

3. Respectful Communication & Consent

Enforce & Respect Boundaries: Rejection is a normal part of dating. If another member declines to interact or stops communicating, respect their decision. Repeated unwanted messages constitute harassment.
No Bullying or Threats: Insults, derogatory remarks regarding body, age, gender, race, or religion, and any form of intimidation or blackmail are strictly forbidden.
Explicit Photos Require Consent: Sending unsolicited explicit, sexual, or nude photographs to members who have not explicitly welcomed them is unacceptable.

4. Zero Tolerance for Illegal & Harmful Content

The following categories of content are strictly prohibited across profiles, photos, and messages:

Commercial ProstitutionSolicitation of commercial sex, escort work, or paid sexual transactions is illegal and strictly forbidden.

Coercion & ExtortionAny attempt at blackmail, financial extortion, or "sextortion" will be permanently referred to authorities.

Substance SolicitationPromoting, selling, or soliciting narcotics, illegal drugs, or controlled pharmaceuticals.

Hate & ExtremismPromoting hate speech, acts of violence, discrimination, or terrorism.

5. Scams, Fraud & Commercial Solicitation

Advance-Fee & Fake Sugar Scams: Members who request advance payment fees, "clearance fees", cryptocurrency deposits, or gift cards to "unlock an allowance" are fraudulent scammers.
No Commercial Advertising: Using Sugare to promote external services, webcam sites, commercial businesses, or social media follower schemes is prohibited.
Never Send Money Online: Real sugar relationships are built on mutual personal connections. Never send money to anyone you have only communicated with online.

6. Privacy Protection & No Doxxing

Discretion is sacred to our community. You must never:

Publish, share, or broadcast another user's personal contact information, home address, workplace, or private photos without their explicit permission.
Capture screenshots of conversations or profiles to publicly mock, humiliate, or expose individuals on external platforms.
Attempt to track, de-anonymize, or locate another user outside the agreed boundaries of the app.

7. Reporting & Blocking Violators

We give every member simple in-app tools to protect their experience:

To Block a User: Navigate to the user's profile or chat screen, tap the three dots (•••), and tap Block User. They will no longer be able to message you or see your profile.

To Report a Violation: On the user's profile, tap Report User, choose the appropriate category (inappropriate_photo, scam, harassment, underage, or impersonation), and submit.

All user reports are routed directly to our moderation queue for administrative inspection. Reports are completely confidential; the reported party is not notified of who filed the report.

8. Moderation Actions & Penalties

Our operations team reviews flagged accounts and takes graded enforcement actions depending on severity:

Formal Warning: Issued for minor infractions or policy misunderstandings.
Photo Purge: Deletion of violating media from our Cloudinary CDN and user profiles.
Shadowban (isVisible: false): Restriction of profile visibility in discovery feeds for suspicious behavior undergoing safety review.
Permanent Ban (isBlocked: true): Permanent termination of account access for scams, underage accounts, extortion, or repeated violations. Banned users forfeit all active entitlements.
