Community guidelines

Be someone people are glad they met

• Be yourself: your real name, your real role and level, and a photo of you or none at all.
• Be kind and patient, especially with beginners and students. Everyone was new once.
• Keep it professional. meetadev isn't a dating app.

Respect a no

• If someone doesn't match with you, that's their answer. Don't look for them another way to ask again.
• Contact details are shared because both of you said yes. Use them to follow up, not to add people to lists, groups or campaigns.
• If a conversation stops, let it go.

Not allowed

• Harassment, threats, bullying, stalking or unwanted advances.
• Hate or discrimination based on who someone is, including their gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, age or background.
• Spam, scams, fake job offers, pyramid schemes, or asking people for money.
• Sharing someone's private details or messages without their permission.
• Sexual content, violence, or anything illegal.
• Pretending to be someone else, or to be an event organiser.

Hiring and job hunting

• Recruiters and hiring managers: be clear about the role, and never ask candidates to pay for anything.
• Job seekers: be honest about your experience. It's fine to say you're learning.

At the event

• Meet in the venue or another public place.
• Follow the event's own code of conduct as well as these guidelines.
• Only tap “We met” for people you actually met. The leaderboard is for fun, not for gaming.

If something's wrong

Block the person from their badge, so you stop seeing each other, and report them, which goes to the event's organisers. Tell an organiser at the venue if you feel unsafe. Organisers can remove and ban people from their event, and we can suspend or close accounts. Serious or repeated breaches can mean losing access to meetadev altogether.
