Community guidelines

WOOCOURT.COM community guidelines

WOOCOURT.COM is a service intended for individuals who are looking for genuine people to socialize with or/and to build friend, partner or relationship.

We want you to have a great time and get the best friends making experience. To make that happen, we ask all our users to take responsibility for their behaviour here and the ways they interact with other members.

The golden rule

The most important thing to remember when you’re on our site is this:

If you would not say, do or show something to a date in real life, do not say, do or show it here.

So before you send a message, ask a question or upload a photo, always ask yourself if you would do the same if you were meeting in real life. If you would not, it is defiantly not a good idea to do it online.

The six pillars of online behaviour

There are four key principles we want you to follow while you’re part of our community.

Be honest

Be understanding

Be kind

Be respectful

Be safe

Be genuine

Being honest

ALWAYS be honest and straight forward when you are filling out your profile details. There is no need for you to withdraw information or bend the truth about yourself, just to try to impress someone. The right person for you is out there, it is just a matter of time till you will be matched with them. If you lie for instance about you marital status, the truth will come out soon or later and you will hurt and lose the other person and if they report you with WOOCOURT.COM we will remove you from the site. So there is absolutely no need for you to pretend to be someone you are not. Be yourself; be proud who you are, always! Everybody will find somebody suitable for them; it is just really a matter of time. And if you are honest you will be matched with the person you long for.

Tips

  • Long-term in all walk in life, honest will be appreciated and ultimately win!
  • You might gain some benefits by being dishonest, but imagine it as a stove fire. Huge heat but in is powerless in no time.
  • On a lie you will never be able to build something special or forever lasing!

Consequences

Our members are encouraged to report any profile which seems doggy or dishonest. So if there feel irritated by a profile or by the conversation you are having with you match, please immediately end the conversation and report to us.

We also encourage our users to report any incident which might occur after they met the person in real life. For instance, he or she lied about their marital status or denied having children and later on down the road the truth comes out. Please immediately report this person and we will handle the situation accordingly!

Being understanding

ALWAYS give your matched partner the benefit of the doubt. Do not get aggressive if they do not write back to you immediately. Maybe there are on holiday in a remote area where there is no internet connection. They could be hospitalised or just not in the mood to go online. Maybe they already met someone and forgot to deactivate their profile. There can me hundreds of reason why a person do not write back immediately or at all.

Tips

  • Approach them with an ice breaker phrase or sentence.
  • If there is no response, approach them in a few days, maybe by asking them, if they are alright.
  • If they do not get back to you just deleted/block the chat and move one.
  • After blocking this person the will never be able to get match with you on either of the services.
  • It is they lose and not yours. You can hold your head high, because you did the right thing.

Consequences

People, who are not responding to messages, will be flagged by our system and if this happens frequently, there will be removed for the website. So if someone does not wish to be matched at any moment in time, they ought to deactivate, subsequently delete their profile.

Being kind

ALWAYS treat people you interact with on WOOCOURT.COM the way you would like to be treated yourself.

Do not be rude. Do not be mean. Do not bully, intimidate, defame, harass or stalk other members. If someone says they are not interested, leave them alone. If someone blocks you, do not try to get back in touch: Even if you do not think you did anything wrong, the best plan is to forget it and move on.

Tips

  • Be careful what you say, especially at first. Something you might think is just a joke may be taken very personally by someone else.
  • If you need tips on how to get to know someone, just ask our coach (where available).
  • Nobody finds threats, hate speech, racism or bigotry attractive, they are illegal and we take reports of such things very seriously. Depending on the severity, they may lead to your account being warned or banned.

Consequences

Members who are not willing to apply or follow the community guidelines will be excluded from the platform!

Being respectful

Every strong relationship is built on mutual respect, and it pays to show that respect right from the start.

Think of your profile picture and username as your first message to someone. So choose a name that makes a positive first impression, and a photo that makes the right person want to find out more. If your name, picture or message contains hate speech, obscenity or trolling it won’t just mean you’re unlikely to get any dates: we’ll ban you from the site.

We’re all adults, and singles may send flirty and even sexy messages to each other. But only when it’s consensual. Don’t send messages containing unwelcome sexual propositions or sexually explicit content, particularly at the start of a relationship.

We also do not accept messages or content depicting illegal activity or promoting commercial sexual services, human trafficking or non-consensual sexual acts. Breaking this rule will result in your account being removed.

Tips

  • Never ask for or share private information.
  • Sending sexy photos or talking about kinks or fantasies can be fun, but not right at the start of a relationship. Let things develop first.
  • It’s never OK to upload nudity, sexually explicit or pornographic content to WOOCOURT.COM.
  • Avoid out of context shirtless or bikini photos (it’s OK to wear a bikini in a photo taken on the beach, but in your bedroom it just looks weird).
  • NO images of violence, drug use or criminal activity: nobody’s impressed.
  • Please respect your children’s privacy and safety. Photos showing minors, even with an accompanying adult will be removed.
  • WOOCOURT.COM is not the place to advertise your business, your band, your artwork or that old fridge you’re selling. Spammers will be banned.

Consequences

Users, who are rude, aggressive etc, will be removed from the platform!

Being safe

The golden rule for being safe on WOOCOURT.COM is always to think about your safety first. Only interact with people through the WOOCOURT.COM app or site, don’t share too much too soon, and never give out your address, email or phone number to anyone you don’t fully trust. Watch out too for people you have never met who ask you for money. Remember scammers can often be very convincing. Don’t let yourself be fooled.

This is a dating site, not an e-commerce site. Never solicit another member for private information, like passwords, Social Security Number, financial information or their home or work address. You are not allowed to use any information regarding a member, public or private, for business/commercial use or any other unlawful or nefarious purpose.

We only accept adults as members, and we will remove and permanently ban any accounts operated by anyone who is not an adult. If you find someone underage, please report their account to us immediately for your safety and theirs.

If you do encounter anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable or who isn’t sticking to our rules, it’s easy to report them. Just click ‘report member’ on their profile. And if you don’t want to hear from them again, you can always block them.

Tips

  • In the early stages, keep all your interactions on the site. You’re both much safer that way.
  • Don’t pressure people into giving your personal information. Remember they don’t know you, and it might make them feel uncomfortable. Get to know them first: they’ll share when they’re ready.

Consequences

Please report any situation which made you feel unsafe at all times. It does not matter if it made you feel unsafe on our platform you during a meeting with an individual whit whom you met on our platform. Unfortunate cannot control neither can we be made responsible for anything happens outside out platform for be reporting it we can respond with the tools we have available and to make sure this member will be dealt with accordingly.

Being genuine

If you’re after a one night stand, an affair or a secret life, WOOCOURT.COM isn’t the place for you. Our community is about being yourself, finding someone special and, hopefully, starting something real. So be genuine from the start. It goes without saying that we will ban any scammers, impersonators, fraudsters or criminals and may report them to the police.

Don’t promote external links, sites, pages or any commercial messages in your profile or messaging. And don’t use copyrighted images that belong to someone else unless you have received their express permission. Please note that all responsibility for any use of copyright images without permission and for any other content you share lies wholly with you the user.

Tips

  • Make sure all the information on your profile is true, including your age and height. It’s disrespectful not to be honest from the start, and it breaks our terms and conditions.
  • Only include pictures of yourself, and show your face clearly. Don’t include group photos: people won’t know which face is yours.
  • Avoid using memes or heavy filters that distort or hide your face. People want to know what you look like!

Consequences

Dishonest individuals who are reported to calming to be someone there are not will be excluded from the platform!

Behave yourself, online and in real life

We want our singles to meet eventually, whether it’s on a date or at one of our WOOCOURT.COM events. And we want you to stay kind, safe, respectful and genuine right through your dates and relationships – it’s just the best way to be.

If someone you’ve met through WOOCOURT.COM acts badly towards you or makes you uncomfortable, we want to hear about it. Contact us and we’ll do our best to help.

Cyber-bullying leads nowhere. Least of all to love.

At WOOCOURT.COM, we say cyberbullying is when a person sends messages repeatedly to the same person despite not getting a response.

These messages can undermine people’s happiness, dignity and mental health through their repetitive nature and the use of insulting, discriminatory and defamatory content, or of a sexual nature without mutual consent.

In order to fight against this type of behaviour, here are the rules you should follow:

  • Rule 1. Wait for the other person to respond, or not if they choose.
  • Rule 2. Replying once is fine, twice is fine, 3 times is too much.
  • Rule 3. Respect the other person: don’t use insulting or denigrating words or send unsolicited inappropriate photos.

If you receive pushy messages which make you feel uncomfortable, here’s how to alert us so it stops immediately:

  • Report a profile direct from your mailbox to alert our moderation and safety team. Every report is dealt with as quickly as possible: from sending a warning to permanent deletion of the profile.
  • Block a profile so that person can no longer contact you.

Josephine, our coach, helps with the prevention and detection of cyberbullying. She will intervene if too many messages are sent to the same person without response. Josephine will help you to put an end to this situation.
