ExpatFlirt Community Guidelines
A community of people meeting across languages, cultures and time zones only works if the basics are shared. These are the basics.
Four rules that cover almost everything
Be real
One account, your own photos, your actual age, and a profile that describes the person who will turn up.
Verification is free on every tier. Use it.
Be decent
Take a no the first time. Nobody owes you a reply, a photo, a phone number or an explanation.
Silence is an answer.
Respect privacy
What someone tells you stays between you. Don't screenshot, forward or repost another member's photos or messages.
This matters more in small expat communities than people realise.
Keep money out of it
Never ask another member for money, and never send it. This is the line where dating stops and fraud starts.
Asking is grounds for removal on its own.
Be real
Use your own recent photos, state your real age, and keep one account. Free ID verification is available on every tier, including the free one, and so is admin profile validation if you'd rather not send documents. Both produce a badge, and both make people far more likely to reply.
You must be 18 or over to use ExpatFlirt. Age assurance runs on the platform, but if you believe an account belongs to a minor, report it rather than assuming someone else already has.
Be honest about your situation too. Whether you're partnered, how long you're staying in the country, and whether you're actually looking for what your profile says you are — people are making real decisions about their evenings and their safety based on what you write.
Be decent
Talk to people the way you'd want a friend of yours to be talked to. Specifically:
- No harassment, threats, insults or sustained pressure after someone has said no.
- No unsolicited explicit photos. Ask first, every time, and accept the answer.
- No racism, no fetishising someone's nationality or accent, no comments about an immigration status. This is an international community and that behaviour ends membership.
- Don't create a new account to contact someone who blocked you.
People move at different speeds, and a lot of members here are deliberately unhurried. Someone taking three days to reply is not being rude; pushing them about it is.
Respect privacy
Your profile shows your nearest town or city, never your exact address, and your real name and email are never shown publicly. Extend the same protection to everyone else.
Don't share another member's photos, messages, full name, workplace, address or any other identifying detail — not with friends, not on social media, not in a group chat. In a small international community, one screenshot can identify someone to everyone they know. Don't post anyone's contact details, yours or theirs, in a public field.
Keep money out of it
Do not ask another member for money, bank details, gift cards or cryptocurrency, in any amount, for any reason. There is no emergency that makes this acceptable and no story that makes it look different. Asking is enough to have an account removed.
If someone asks you, don't send anything, block them and report the account. The reporting guide covers what to do next, including what to do if money has already changed hands.
This is a dating site, not a channel
Don't use ExpatFlirt to advertise, recruit, sell, promote another service, or drive people to an external site. Don't run automated accounts. Don't pressure people onto another messaging app in the first few messages — the platform detects that and warns the other person, because it's the standard opening move in a romance scam.
How the rules are enforced
Moderation is run by Hubpeople Limited, the company that operates the platform, not by the company that publishes this website. Enforcement uses several things at once: images, video and text are screened on upload by AI and human review; behaviour monitoring flags unusual activity patterns; every member carries a reputation score built from behaviour and feedback; and members can block instantly and report from any profile or conversation.
Accounts that breach the platform's rules are acted on by the moderation team. The specific action taken on any individual account is the operator's decision, and the binding rules are the ones in the Terms & Conditions you accepted at sign-up. This page describes the standard the community is held to; it does not replace those terms.
If someone breaks these rules
Block first — it is instant, needs nobody's approval, and stops the person contacting you or seeing you. Then report from the profile or the conversation, so the moderation team gets the account and the messages attached. You never owe anyone an explanation before doing either.
If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. Moderation reviews accounts; it cannot reach a person.
Most people here already do all this
Get verified, say what you're actually looking for, and you're most of the way there.
