Blend Community Guidelines
Last updated: 25 August 2026
Blend exists to help adults build meaningful connections in a community based on dignity, inclusion, equality and respect.
These guidelines apply to everything you share on Blend — profiles, messages, photographs, video clips, comments and any other user-generated content. By using Blend you agree to follow them, alongside our Terms of Use.
Respect other members
Treat everyone with respect, regardless of:
- Disability or ability
- Race, ethnicity or nationality
- Gender or gender identity
- Language, culture or religion
- Background or appearance
- Relationship status
Blend was founded on inclusion. Discrimination of any kind has no place here.
Be genuine
The following are not allowed:
- Impersonating another person
- Fake or fraudulent profiles
- Identity deception or deliberate misrepresentation
- Accounts created to mislead, scam or manipulate others
Respect consent and boundaries
No user owes another user a reply, a conversation, a date, a friendship or a relationship. If someone does not respond or asks you to stop, respect that. Repeated unwanted contact is prohibited.
No harassment
We do not allow:
- Bullying, stalking or intimidation
- Threats of any kind
- Abusive messages
- Repeated unwanted communication
No hate or discrimination
Hateful or discriminatory content or behaviour — directed at an individual or a group — is prohibited and may lead to immediate removal from Blend.
No scams or exploitation
Prohibited without exception:
- Romance scams and financial exploitation
- Requests for money under false pretences
- Blackmail or extortion
- Manipulation, phishing or identity theft
Never send money or share financial details with someone you have only met online.
Sexual safety
The following are strictly prohibited:
- Non-consensual sexual content of any kind
- Sexual harassment or coercion
- Sexual exploitation
- Revenge pornography (sharing intimate images without consent)
- Unsolicited explicit material
No child exploitation
Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) are strictly prohibited on Blend.
Any account associated with child exploitation may be immediately suspended and reported to the appropriate authorities where required. Read our Child Safety Standards.
Protect privacy
You must not publish another person's:
- Address or telephone number
- Financial details
- Identification documents
- Private photographs
- Confidential information
without their appropriate consent.
Reporting
You can report profiles and members directly from the member gallery using the Report button on any member card. Use it to flag:
- Suspicious behaviour or fake profiles
- Harassment or abusive messages
- Scams or requests for money
- Inappropriate content
- Any child-safety concern
Every report is reviewed by our team. You can also email info@blendforyou.com.
Blocking
You can block any member from the member gallery using the Block button on their card. Blocked members disappear from your gallery and you from theirs, and you can unblock them at any time from the blocked-members list at the top of the gallery.
Enforcement
When these guidelines are broken, Blend may:
- Issue warnings
- Remove content
- Restrict functionality
- Suspend accounts
- Permanently ban users
