Community
The standards every Outkin member is held to: profiles, photos and conduct.
Outkin is a real-world community, and what makes it work is that everyone is who they say they are and behaves like someone you would want to spend an afternoon with. These guidelines explain what that means in practice. They form part of our terms, and serious or repeated breaches can result in removal from Outkin.
Your profile is how another member decides whether to make a plan with you. It should look like you, on a normal day.
At least one photo must show your face clearly, unobstructed and in focus. It should be a recent likeness. Sunglasses, masks, heavy filters, extreme distance and heavy shadow all fail this, not because they look bad but because they defeat the point.
We do not accept explicit or sexual imagery, nudity or partial nudity, photos taken in bed or in a state of undress, or images whose evident purpose is sexual rather than social.
We do not accept photos where you are not the obvious subject: group shots where we cannot tell which person you are, pictures of someone else, pictures of a pet or a car with no person in them, or images taken from another person's account.
If a religious, medical or safety reason means you cannot show your face in the way described above, email hello@outkin.app. We will find a reasonable alternative.
Use your real name and your real age. Tell the truth about what you do and what you are looking for. Do not use Outkin to sell things, raise money, recruit for a business, or promote another platform.
Be courteous, in the app and in person. Harassment, abuse, threats, discrimination and unwanted sexual messages have no place here and are the fastest way to lose your account.
Respect a no. Respect silence, which is also a no. A Pass is never shown to the other person.
What another member tells you in confidence stays with you. Do not share screenshots, contact details or photos of other members. Do not photograph or film anyone without asking first.
Turn up if you say you will, and say so if you cannot. Meet somewhere public. Follow the venue's rules and any instruction from a host. Venue, food and drink charges are your own unless a plan says otherwise.
Report it. Use the reporting tools in the app or email hello@outkin.app. We read every report.
We use a mix of automated checks and human reviewers. Depending on what has happened, the outcome ranges from a warning to permanent removal. Serious harms, meaning anything involving children, violence or illegal content, mean an immediate and permanent ban.
If you think we have got a decision wrong, email hello@outkin.app within 30 days and we will look at it again, wherever practicable with someone who was not involved the first time.
If you feel unsafe at any point, tell us. Our safety page explains what we do and how to reach us quickly.
