Community Guidelines

1. Treat everyone with respect

No harassment. No slurs. No fetishizing. Disagreement is fine — disrespect is not. Coming into someone’s inbox to lecture them about their choices, their family, their faith, or their body is not okay, even once.

If you wouldn’t say it across a coffee table at your aunt’s house, don’t say it on Nilove.

2. Don’t share anyone’s photos or messages

What happens on Nilove stays on Nilove unless both people opt in. Group chats screenshotting profiles or “did you see this guy?” threads are how communities get hurt. We don’t do that here.

This includes:

• Posting someone’s Nilove photos to social media or other apps.
• Sharing private message screenshots, even with their face cropped out.
• Forwarding a person’s prompts or bio to mutual friends without their permission.

3. Be honest about who you are

Use your real first name. Use real, recent photos that clearly show you. Be upfront about what you’re looking for — marriage, long-term, or open. Don’t list yourself as single if you’re not.

If you’re using Nilove to gather material for content (TikToks, podcasts, articles, social posts about “the diaspora dating scene”), this is not the platform for that. Other users have not consented to being source material.

4. If something feels off, report it

Tap the three dots in any conversation or on any profile. Pick a category. Add detail. Our team reviews every report. If we find a violation, we remove the account — usually permanently, sometimes silently to protect the reporter.

You can also block any user at any time. They’ll never see your profile again, can’t message you, and can’t learn that you blocked them.

What gets you removed

The following are grounds for immediate, permanent removal:

• Harassment, threats, or hate speech directed at another user.
• Posting nude, sexually explicit, or violent imagery.
• Fake profiles — using someone else’s photos, lying about your identity, catfishing.
• Soliciting money, gifts, financial favors, or scamming other users.
• Promoting a business, brand, OnlyFans, escort service, or any commercial activity.
• Recruiting or proselytizing — Nilove is for relationships, not for converts or members.
• Sharing another user’s private content (photos, messages, profile) without consent.
• Sexual contact with, or solicitation of, anyone you have reason to believe is under 18.
• Any unlawful activity, including human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

What we do when we receive a report

1. We review the report — the reason, the description, and the conversation context if relevant.
2. We make a decision: no action, warning, suspension, or permanent removal.
3. If we remove an account, we keep records (the reports against it, the reason for removal) so the same person can’t quietly come back.
4. We protect the reporter’s identity. The reported user does not see who reported them.

Meeting offline

Nilove gets you to the first conversation. The first date is up to you. A few things we’d gently suggest:

• Meet in a public place the first few times.
• Tell a friend where you’re going and roughly when you’ll be back.
• Trust your instincts — leaving early is always okay.
• If a date asks for money, refuses to be photographed, or pressures you in a way that doesn’t feel right, end it.

Appealing a decision

If we’ve removed your account and you believe it was a mistake, email appeals@nilove.app with the phone number on the account and your side of the story. We’ll review and reply.
