Community guidelines.

The rules that keep SPOTR safe and real. They apply to everyone, everywhere in the app.

SPOTR is for genuine connection around fitness — dating, friends and training partners. These rules keep it safe and real. Breaking them can mean your content is removed, your account is suspended, or you are permanently banned. They form part of our Terms & Conditions.

Be real

  • You must be 18 or older. Underage accounts are removed and reported where the law requires it.
  • Use your own photos and accurate information. No impersonation and no fake profiles.

Be respectful

  • No harassment, bullying, threats or stalking.
  • No hate speech or discrimination of any kind.
  • No unsolicited sexual content, nudity or explicit material.

Be safe

  • Never send money to, or invest with, someone you meet here.
  • Keep conversations on SPOTR until you trust the person.
  • Report anything that feels off — reports are confidential.
  • Meet in a public place the first time, and tell someone where you are going.

Prohibited content and behaviour

The following will get an account removed immediately:

  • Sexual exploitation, or any content involving minors.
  • Non-consensual or violent content.
  • Promotion of self-harm.
  • Weapons, drugs or other illegal goods.
  • Spam, scams or fraud.
  • Solicitation or prostitution.
  • Doxxing, or sharing anyone else’s private information.

Child safety. SPOTR has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Any content or behaviour of this kind is removed immediately, the account is permanently banned, and the matter is reported to the South African Police Service and the relevant authorities. Report it to support@spotr.co.za and we will act the same day.

Reporting and enforcement

  • Report any profile or message using the ••• menu in the app. Categories include underage user, fake profile, harassment, spam, fraud or scam, inappropriate content, hate speech and sexual exploitation.
  • Block to instantly stop someone contacting you or seeing your profile.
  • Our moderation team reviews every report and acts on it. Serious breaches — especially anything involving minors — are escalated immediately and may be reported to the authorities.

Appeals

If you believe we acted in error, email support@spotr.co.za with your account email and what happened. We will review it and come back to you.
