Community Guidelines

Whim works when everyone shows up with good intentions. These guidelines keep things running smoothly so we can all have a good time.

Don't be a jerk

Pretty straightforward. Treat people how you'd want to be treated.

• Be kind in all interactions
• Respect different perspectives and backgrounds
• Use language that makes everyone feel welcome
• Give people the benefit of the doubt
• Disagree without being disagreeable

Be real

Use your actual name and photo. Nobody likes catfishing.

• Use your real name and photo
• Give accurate info about events you create
• Be honest about what you're looking for
• Don't pretend to be someone else
• If you need to cancel, say so

Stay safe

Meeting internet strangers is fun. Just be smart about it.

• Meet in public places first
• Tell someone where you're going
• Trust your gut—if it feels weird, bail
• Don't share sensitive info publicly
• Report anything sketchy immediately
• Follow local laws and venue rules

Make good events

Clear details = more people show up.
