Safety and Enforcement Standards

Principles

• Every report is read by a person. Nothing is enforced automatically.
• Prevention comes first: careful matching, public venues, blocking and reporting.
• We look for patterns across Circles, not just isolated incidents.
• Serious or unclear cases get human judgement, never a rule of thumb.

How we prioritise

Every report and case is given a priority. Priority sets how quickly a person looks at it and what we are willing to do before the review is complete.

• Critical: Immediate danger, a credible severe threat, violence, stalking, serious sexual misconduct or an urgent high severity safety incident. Immediate temporary restriction may be appropriate. Preserve evidence, escalate for human review, and consider legal or law enforcement escalation.
• High: Serious misconduct or a safety concern that needs prompt review but is not an immediate emergency: repeated unwanted attention, meaningful harassment, discriminatory conduct, persistent boundary pushing. Possible responses run from a warning to temporary restriction, suspension or removal depending on facts and pattern.
• Standard: An ordinary policy or reliability issue suitable for normal review: lower level disruptive conduct, repeated etiquette problems, non threatening boundary friction. Possible responses: coaching, a warning, or a matching adjustment.

Priority can change as we learn more. A report that looks ordinary can become critical once we see the same behaviour in another Circle.

What we can do

• Speak with the people involved and record what we find.
• Separate members so they are never matched or placed together again.
• Remove someone from a Circle while a review continues.
• Restrict an account temporarily, so it cannot join or be matched.
• Suspend or permanently close an account.
• Preserve records and, where it is appropriate, contact the authorities.

What we weigh

Severity of the behaviour, the risk to other members, whether it was repeated, whether it continued after a warning, whether there was retaliation, and the account's history. We do not weigh how long someone has been a member against another member's safety.

Blocking

You can block another member at any time. Blocking is quiet: the other person is not told. A block stops you from being matched together in future, and hides you from each other in shared spaces. Blocking is not the same as reporting, so please report anything that breaks the Community Guidelines.

Future Circle sessions

Every Thursday Circle is reviewed before it is confirmed. Blocks and safety separations prevent future co-seating. New introductions are considered only for a future session, so nobody new is added after a live meetup has started.

Private connection choices

After an eligible meetup, you can privately tell Againli who you would like to see again. A one-sided choice is never revealed, hinted at or shown in member analytics. Only a mutual choice can become a visible connection and a positive input for future Circle continuity. Connection choices never replace safety, eligibility, blocking or separation rules.

Privacy of safety records

Reports, cases, internal notes and reliability records are not visible to members. A report made about you, and the identity of the person who made it, are not ordinarily disclosed to you, and a report you make is not shown to the person you reported. Where applicable law or your data rights require us to release information, we still protect the identity and safety of other people to the extent the law allows, and we tell you when we have to withhold something for that reason. Againli does not publish member ratings or scores.

Contact

Safety questions go through the reporting flow in your Againli account, or the contact form at againli.com/contact. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911 or the appropriate local emergency service first, then tell us. Againli is not an emergency response service.
