Safety Guidelines
Last updated: October 2026
Just Another Chance works because people trust each other with small, hopeful stories. These guidelines keep it that way.
Write with kindness
- Describe the moment, not a verdict. No shaming, mocking, or outing anyone.
- Only post about encounters that actually happened to you.
- Never post about someone who said no, left, or asked to be left alone.
- No sexual explicitness, slurs, threats, or harassment of any kind.
Protect everyone's privacy
- Don't include phone numbers, email addresses, social handles, last names, or workplace details in a public post — the other person didn't choose to be found.
- New posts are scanned for identifying details; moderators can redact flagged items before they stay up.
- Never share someone else's contact details, even in a reply.
Messaging and meeting up
- Private messages stay between participants — keep them respectful.
- Move at the other person's pace; a no or no reply is an answer.
- If you decide to meet, do it in a public place and tell a friend where you're going.
Report and block
Every post, reply, and conversation has a report option. Moderators review reports privately and remove content or accounts that break the rules. You can also block any member — blocking stops them from messaging you and hides the conversation from both inboxes.
What gets removed
- Harassment, threats, hate speech, and impersonation.
- Content targeting a person who asked to be left alone.
- Spam, advertising, and scam attempts.
- Anything illegal or that puts someone at risk.
