Community Guidelines

Last updated: 11 November 2026. These guidelines are part of the Terms of Use and apply everywhere in the app: in profiles, pictures and videos, requests, introductions, groups, chats, calls, rooms and communities. This is a translation; the German version is authoritative.

Nodbase is meant for real connections between people. That only works if everyone feels safe. That is why there is zero tolerance for harassment, abuse and objectionable content.

1. Be respectful

• No insults, no bullying, no humiliation.
• Respect a no. Someone who declines a request, does not reply or blocks you does not want contact. Do not try again through other channels, new accounts or groups.
• No unwanted sexual messages, pictures or innuendo. That is harassment.

2. No threats, no hate

• No threats, no extortion and no stalking, not even as a “joke”.
• No hate and no incitement against people because of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age or other characteristics.
• No glorification of violence, terrorism or extremism and no calls for it.

3. Protecting children and young people

• Any sexual depiction of minors is prohibited, as is any approach to minors with sexual intent.
• We report such content to the authorities immediately and suspend the account permanently.
• Nodbase is for people aged 16 and over. We delete accounts of younger people.
• 18+ communities only have an age limit. The rules stay the same: pornography and sexual content are prohibited there too, and everything in these Guidelines applies just the same.

4. Intimate images only with consent

• Never share intimate or sexual pictures or videos of a person without their explicit consent. This also applies to fake, edited or AI-generated images.
• Do not threaten to share such images.
• Pornography is prohibited everywhere in the app. Profiles, profile pictures, group titles, requests and introductions must not contain nudity or sexual content.

5. No spam, no scams

• No mass requests, chain messages or unwanted advertising.
• No fraud, no phishing, no malware, no pyramid schemes and no “get rich quick” offers.
• No links that deceive people or lead to dangerous sites.
• No automated accounts or bots.
• No invented meetings and no tricks to get network strength or a phase card you have not earned yourself.

6. Be yourself

• Do not pretend to be another person, company or organisation.
• One account per person. Do not create an account to get around a suspension.
• Your profile should show you. Only upload pictures you hold the rights to, and pictures of others only with their consent.

7. Respect other people’s privacy

• Only share other people’s contact details, such as phone number, address or email, with their consent. This also applies when you forward a contact in a chat.
• Do not publish other people’s private information, chat screenshots or locations to expose or pressure them.
• Your network is for you. Do not use its details for advertising, mass outreach or trading contact details.
• Introductions are a sign of trust. Only introduce people when you are sure both are happy with it.

8. Nothing illegal

No trading in drugs, weapons or other illegal goods or services, no gambling without a licence and nothing else that breaks the law, for example copyright.

9. Calls and rooms

• Harassment by call is prohibited: no repeated ringing, no calls after a no, no threats, no sexual content. Someone who has blocked you or muted your calls does not want contact.
• Only record a call or room if everyone involved explicitly agrees. Secret recording is prohibited and may be a criminal offence (in Germany Section 201 of the Criminal Code). This also applies to screen recordings and filming with another device.
• Nodbase itself does not record calls.
• Only share your screen in a call if you know what is on it. Notifications from other apps may become visible.
• You can block and report at any time, also during a call.

10. When someone is struggling

Do not encourage anyone to harm themselves and do not glorify self-harm. If you are worried about someone or need help yourself: in acute danger, call the emergency number (112 in the EU). In Germany, the TelefonSeelsorge crisis line is free and available around the clock at 0800 111 0 111.

11. How to report

• In the app: report a profile, a request, an introduction, a group, a group member, a message, a call, a community, a post or a member of a community right where you see it. In a chat, tap the name at the top and choose “Report …” (with the person’s name). In a call you find “Report” and “Block” in the call itself. You can also block the person there.
• Including messages: chats are end-to-end encrypted. So that we can check what happened, you can include up to five of the latest messages. Only these are then visible to us.
• By email: to support@nodbase.app. Tell us what you are reporting, where to find it and why it breaks these guidelines or the law.
• In acute danger: first contact the police or emergency services (112 in the EU).

12. What happens next

• We review every report ourselves, as soon as we can.
• The reported person does not learn who reported them.
• In communities, their moderators also see reports from the community. They can hide posts, give time-outs and remove or ban members. Only we see reports for urgent reasons (child safety, intimate images, violence). A community’s moderation does not replace our review.
• Depending on the severity we remove content, warn, restrict features, suspend accounts temporarily or permanently, or delete them. For child sexual abuse material, threats, extortion and intimate images without consent we suspend immediately and permanently and involve the authorities where necessary.
• Anyone affected by a decision is told by email with the reasons and can object within six months.
• Blocking helps right away: someone you block can no longer send you requests, message you or call you, and no longer sees your profile. A call in progress ends.

Thank you for helping make Nodbase a good place.
