In-App Reporting Tool: Users may report inappropriate behaviour directly from a profile or chat using the reporting tool.
Dedicated Support Email: Reports can also be sent via email to [Insert Reporting Email].
All reports will be treated with confidentiality, and no details will be shared without the user’s permission. Users are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible to facilitate a thorough investigation.
Investigation and Action
Upon receiving a report, Gleemeet will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into the reported behaviour. The following steps outline our process:
- Initial Review: Our team will review the report and any relevant data, including chat history, user profiles, and previously submitted reports, if applicable.
- Follow-Up with Reporting User: If necessary, we may reach out to the reporting user for additional information to ensure we fully understand the situation.
- Determination of Action: Based on the investigation, we will determine the appropriate action, which may range from a temporary suspension to a permanent ban.
- Communication of Outcome: Gleemeet will inform the reporting user of the general outcome of the investigation to confirm that the report has been addressed.
Possible Actions
- Temporary Suspension: Minor violations may result in a temporary suspension, with the user receiving a warning and being required to review the policy.
- Permanent Ban: Severe violations, including those involving harassment, hate speech, or fraud, will result in an immediate and permanent ban.
- Other Actions: Depending on the nature of the violation, Gleemeet may implement additional restrictions or measures to protect the community.
Consequences of Violation
Violating the Zero Tolerance Policy may result in:
Immediate Account Suspension: Accounts involved in prohibited behaviour may be immediately suspended to protect the safety and integrity of our community.
Permanent Removal from Gleemeet: Accounts involved in severe or repeated violations will be permanently removed from Gleemeet without the possibility of reinstatement.
Further Legal Action: In extreme cases, such as fraudulent activities or threats of violence, Gleemeet reserves the right to pursue legal action against violators.
Appeals Process
Users who believe they have been penalized unfairly may appeal the decision by contacting our support team at [Insert Appeals Email]. Appeals should include:
A brief description of the situation
Any supporting information the user believes is relevant
A request for the appeal review
Our team will review the appeal within [Insert Number] business days and respond with a decision. Gleemeet’s primary commitment is to user safety, and appeals will only be accepted if there is strong evidence to support the user’s case.
