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
  • Preserve relevant evidence
  • Report suspected illegal activity to the appropriate authorities where legally required
