Code of Conduct

Be friendly

Please be friendly and tolerant of other members. Do not use Popcorn to threaten, harass, stalk, or abuse others. Do not express views which may be considered to be racist, bigoted or hateful towards another individual, group, culture, race, religion or sexuality. Abusers will have their profile blocked and/or result in having their profile deleted.

Be considerate

Please be considerate of others. Don't deliberately disrupt conversations or participate in offensive behaviour. Disruptive or offensive behaviour includes making derogatory remarks, USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS and filling up the screen with the same letter or gibberish. Abusers will have their profile blocked and/or result in having their profile deleted.

Respect each other's differences

We're a diverse bunch with a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, races, genders, cultures, sexual orientations, religions, ages and other preferences which form our identity and the way we live. You don't have to agree with someone else's views but it's important to respect that everyone has the right to express them without prejudice, discrimination or abuse. If you read something that you don't agree with, yet it is not specifically directed at you (i.e. a discussion within one of the groups) you are more then welcome to ignore the comments and seek out discussion where you can contribute and add value.

Safety

Your safety is very important to us. Please, at all times, take note of the Popcorn SSS Rule to take care of your own safety:

Be Smart

Don't give out personal information straightaway. Keep your phone number, email address, full name and address to yourself.

Be Sure

Get to know someone first. Exchange flirts, message them, arrange a chat so you can talk in 'real time', and swap photos when you feel comfortable. While you might like to talk on the phone, don't give out your number immediately. If you do call, it's best to use a mobile phone number rather than a home phone number.

Be Safe

If you decide to meet any Popcorn members, always first meet in a busy place with other people around, like a cafe, bar, restaurant or mall. Don't ever arrange to meet someone at your house the first time you meet, and don't take someone back to your house until you feel very sure about them. If you're concerned about another member, please report them.

Harassment and Disputes

You may not harass any member and agree to stop contacting any other member who has requested you to stop. Popcorn will not become involved in any disputes between members and does not provide any arbitration or settlement services should a dispute arise. You alone are responsible for ensuring that your interaction with other members is lawful. Popcorn advises you that there may be risks of dealing with members acting under false pretences or with criminal intent. Popcorn cannot control what happens between members once they decide to meet in person, however, if you encounter behaviour that may be deemed harmful to other members you are requested to contact Popcorn with full details and we may, if deemed appropriate at Popcorn's sole discretion, warn, suspend or delete the offending member's profile. Popcorn has no intent or interest in getting involved in domestic or private disputes between members. You alone are responsible for the message content you transmit to other members. You will ensure that it is appropriate and is not in breach of the Terms of Use. Popcorn does not in ordinary circumstances review or censor member message content but reserves the right to delete messages which contain advertising or which Popcorn regards as spam, or to review messages if there is a reported breach of conduct or if required by the relevant authorities.
