Harvest Community Guidelines

Last updated: December 29, 2025

Harvest is built for intentional connection. These guidelines exist to keep the community safe, respectful, and real. By using Harvest, you agree to follow these rules in your profile, messages, photos, and behavior on and off the app when it connects to your Harvest activity.

If you see something that violates these guidelines, report it. If you feel unsafe, prioritize your safety first and contact local emergency services.

The Core Rules

  1. Be respectful

Treat people like people. Harassment, bullying, humiliation, or cruelty is not allowed, even “as a joke.”

Not allowed:

  • Insults, name-calling, shaming, or degrading comments

  • Threats or intimidation

  • Repeated unwanted contact after someone says “no” or sets a boundary

  • Sexual harassment, crude sexual comments, or pressuring language

2. Be honest and authentic

Harvest is for real humans connecting with real humans.

Not allowed:

  • Impersonation (using someone else’s photos or pretending to be someone you’re not)

  • Misrepresenting key details to manipulate someone (identity, relationship status, intentions)

  • Fake profiles, bot activity, or coordinated spam

3. Consent and boundaries are non-negotiable

Consent must be clear. Pressure is not consent.

Not allowed:

  • Sexual coercion, guilt-tripping, or repeated boundary pushing

  • “Send pics” pressure, especially after refusal

  • Any attempt to obtain sexual content through manipulation or threats

4. Keep it safe

We don’t allow behavior that puts people at risk.

Not allowed:

  • Encouraging self-harm, violence, or dangerous behavior

  • Instructions or encouragement to commit wrongdoing

  • Threats of doxxing, blackmail, or revenge

Prohibited content and behavior

Harassment, hate, and discrimination

Not allowed:

  • Hate speech, slurs, or dehumanizing language

  • Discrimination or hostility based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected characteristics

  • Content supporting extremist or violent ideologies

Sexual content and nudity

Harvest is not a porn platform.

Not allowed:

  • Nudity or explicit sexual content in photos, bio, or messages

  • Sex-for-money arrangements, escorting, “sugar” solicitation, or transactional sex requests

  • Graphic sexual language directed at someone who hasn’t consented to that tone

Allowed (with respect):

  • Non-explicit, consensual flirting

  • Relationship intention discussions

  • Mature topics handled appropriately

Minors and exploitation

Not allowed:

  • Any sexual content involving minors (including “barely legal” framing)

  • Any attempt to contact, groom, or exploit minors

  • Content that sexualizes young people in any way

If we suspect someone is under 18, we may restrict or remove the account.

Scams, fraud, and financial exploitation

Not allowed:

  • Asking for money, gifts, crypto, “help with rent,” or “emergency funds”

  • Requests to move to another platform quickly to avoid moderation

  • Links or messages designed to steal personal info (phishing)

  • Investment pitches, “business opportunities,” or recruiting schemes

If you want to share your social media, do it slowly and safely, and never under pressure.

Privacy violations and doxxing

Not allowed:

  • Sharing someone’s private info without consent (phone number, address, workplace, full name, identifying screenshots)

  • Posting private conversations publicly (including in your profile) to shame or retaliate

  • Threatening to expose someone

Violence, threats, and intimidation

Not allowed:

  • Threats of harm, sexual violence, or coercion

  • Content celebrating violence or encouraging harm

  • Weapon/violence content used to intimidate others

Spam and platform misuse

Not allowed:

  • Mass messaging, copy-paste solicitation, or repetitive promotional content

  • Selling products/services through Harvest

  • Affiliate links, traffic farming, or marketing funnels

  • Creating multiple accounts to evade bans or reports

Illegal activity

Not allowed:

  • Selling or facilitating illegal goods or services

  • Encouraging criminal behavior

  • Content that violates applicable laws

Profile and photo standards

What we want

  • Clear, recent photos that represent you

  • A profile that reflects genuine intentions and basic respect

  • Honesty about what you’re looking for (dating, relationship, marriage, etc.)

Not allowed in photos or profile content

  • Nudity or explicit sexual content

  • Hate symbols or extremist imagery

  • Violence intended to intimidate

  • Contact info in your bio or photos if you’re using it to solicit off-platform quickly

We may remove content or request edits to keep profiles safe and consistent

Moving off-platform

You can choose to move off-platform, but it must be mutual and pressure-free.

Not allowed:

  • Pressuring someone to share contact info

  • Refusing to talk unless they leave the app

  • Manipulating someone into leaving the app quickly

We strongly recommend:

  • Keep early conversations on Harvest

  • Meet in public places

  • Tell a friend where you’re going

  • Trust your instincts and leave if something feels off

Reporting and enforcement

How we handle reports

When you report a user or message, our team reviews the information available. We may:

  • Remove content

  • Issue a warning

  • Restrict features (messaging, discovery, etc.)

  • Temporarily suspend an account

  • Permanently remove an account

For serious safety issues, we may preserve relevant information and cooperate with lawful requests.

Appeals

If you believe your account or content was removed incorrectly, you can contact support and request a review.

AI and conversation tools

If Harvest offers tools like Mindful Messaging or an AI Coach, those features are meant to support healthier communication, not shame users.

Not allowed:

  • Using AI tools to harass, threaten, or generate abusive content

  • Trying to bypass safety features to send harmful messages

You control your choices. If you don’t want certain conversation supports, you can adjust settings (where available).

Quick “if you’re unsure” checklist

Report it if someone:

  • Threatens you, insults you, or won’t respect “no”

  • Pressures you for sexual content or contact info

  • Asks for money or tries to move you off-platform immediately

  • Seems fake, inconsistent, or evasive about identity

  • Makes you feel unsafe
