Welcome to the Wellonge community. If you’re honest, kind and respectful to others, you’ll always be welcome here. If you choose not to be, you may not last. Our goal is to allow users to express themselves freely as long as it doesn’t offend others. Everyone is held to the same standard on Wellonge. We’re asking you to be considerate, think before you act, and abide by our community guidelines both on and offline. You heard that right: your offline behavior can lead to termination of your Wellonge account.
Below is a list of our community policies. If you violate any of these policies, you might be banned from Wellonge. Seriously, don’t make us Swipe Left on you—because there will be no do-overs once we do. We encourage you to report any behavior that violates our policies, and read up on our Safety Tips.
Wellonge is not for:
Nudity/Sexual Content
We’re not asking you to comb your hair to one side or even speak in full sentences; but please keep it classy and appropriate for public consumption. No nudity, no sexually explicit content, and don’t chronicle all of your sexual desires in your bio. Keep it clean.
Harassment
Do not engage, or encourage others to engage, in any targeted abuse or harassment against any other user. This includes sending any unsolicited sexual content to your matches. Reports of stalking, threats, bullying, or intimidation, are taken very seriously.
Violence and Physical Harm
We do not tolerate violent, graphic, or gory content on Wellonge, or any actions or content that advocate for or threaten violence of any sort, including threatening or promoting terrorism. Physical assault, coercion, and any acts of violence are strictly prohibited.
Content that advocates for or glorifies suicide or self-harm is also not allowed. In these situations, we may take a number of steps to assist the user, including reaching out with crisis resources.
Hate Speech
Any content that promotes, advocates for, or condones racism, bigotry, hatred, or violence against individuals or groups based on factors like (but not limited to) race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, gender, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity is not allowed.
Private Information
Don’t publicly broadcast any private information, yours or anyone else’s. This includes social security numbers, passports, passwords, financial information or unlisted contact information, such as phone numbers, email addresses, home/work address.
Spam
Don’t be fake. Be real instead. Don’t use Wellonge to drive people to external websites via a link or otherwise.
Promotion or Solicitation
Soliciting other users is prohibited on Wellonge. It’s fine to invite your matches to something that you’re doing, but if the purpose of your profile is to advertise your event or business, non-profit, political campaign, contest, or to conduct research, we may delete your account. While we are excited that you are doing a comedy show next week, please do not use Wellonge to promote it.
Prostitution and Trafficking
Promoting or advocating for commercial sexual services, human trafficking or other non-consensual sexual acts is strictly prohibited and will result in your account being banned from Wellonge.
Scamming
Wellonge has a zero-tolerance policy on predatory behavior of any kind. Anyone attempting to get other users’ private information for fraudulent or illegal activity may be banned. Any user caught sharing their own financial account information (PayPal, etc.) for the purpose of receiving money from other users may also be banned from Wellonge.
Impersonation
Be yourself! Don’t pretend to be someone else.
Do not impersonate, or otherwise misrepresent affiliation, connection or association with, any person or entity. This includes parody accounts. While we think your Mike Pence profile is hilarious, you aren’t Mike Pence. And if you are, what are you doing on Wellonge?
Minors
You must be 18 years of age or older to use Wellonge. As such, we do not allow images of unaccompanied minors. If you want to post photos of your children, please make sure that you are in the photo as well. If you see a profile that includes an unaccompanied minor, encourages harm to a minor, or depicts a minor in a sexual or suggestive way, please report it immediately.
Copyright and Trademark Infringement
If it’s not yours, don’t post it. If your Wellonge profile includes any work that is copyrighted or trademarked by others, don’t display it, unless you are allowed to do so.
Illegal Usage
Don’t use Wellonge to do anything illegal. If it is illegal IRL, it is illegal on Wellonge.
One Person, One Account
Wellonge accounts cannot have multiple owners, so don’t create an account with your friend or significant other. Additionally, please don’t maintain multiple Wellonge accounts.
Third Party Apps
The use of any apps created by anyone other than Wellonge that claim to offer our service or unlock special Wellonge features (like auto-swipers) is not allowed.
Account Dormancy
Wellonge is fun to use... all the time! Use Wellonge at the lake, use Wellonge while eating cake. Use Wellonge when you are out, use Wellonge when in doubt! But, if you don’t log in to your Wellonge account in 2 years, we may delete your account for inactivity.

What should I do if someone is asking me to share a nude or sexual photo or video of myself on Wellonge?
We worked with ConnectSafely.org on the following answer. For more information and advice.
Sharing nude or sexual photos/videos is a violation of Wellonge’s Community Guidelines, so the simplest answer you can give someone is, “No. It’s not allowed on Wellonge.”
But beyond Wellonge, it’s important to think about how it would impact you if nude or sexual photos or videos of yourself got out of your control. This can happen the instant someone shares a photo or video. Sometimes people make mistakes, play stupid jokes or act in anger and share things they shouldn’t.
If you’re under the age of 18, it’s especially important for you to know that sharing nude or sexually explicit images of minors, whether on the web, mobile phones, by mail or any other way, is illegal in most countries and could have serious legal and life-changing consequences for both the creator of the images and anyone who requests them.
The safest thing you can do is never share nude photos/videos—or anything else you wouldn’t want other people seeing—to anyone, even if you feel very close to the person asking for them.
If someone you care about asks you to share a nude photo/video or leave Wellonge for a private web chat and you don’t want to, tell the person that it makes you feel uncomfortable. If this person really cares about you, they will understand.
If anyone tries to threaten or intimidate you into sharing photos/video, just refuse. If it continues, tell someone you trust or contact the police. You may also want to block the person on Wellonge and report them.
Also, remember that when you allow someone to follow you, they may see personal information you have shared on Wellonge (like your personal website URL, pictures, videos or who follows you). The best way to stay safe is to only accept followers that you know well outside of Wellonge.

The safest thing you can do is never share something you wouldn’t want other people seeing, even if you feel like you trust the person asking you to share.
