Reporting and blocking

Every match and every conversation has a Report or blockcontrol. Blocking takes effect the moment you tap it: the conversation closes, and the engine will never pair you again. The other person is not told — they see the match end the way any other match ends.

Reporting sends it to a person to read, and blocks at the same time by default, because you shouldn’t have to take a second action to make something stop. Reports of threats or of someone being under 18 are handled first.

What the design already does

• Nobody can message you unless you both accepted the match. There is no way to be contacted by a stranger.
• Nobody can browse you. There is no searchable directory, so you can’t be found, filtered for, or repeatedly viewed.
• Your email is never shown to another user, and your pass is never revealed.
• A pair is never proposed twice, so someone you passed on cannot come back around.

Meeting someone

• Meet somewhere public the first time, and get yourself there and back.
• Tell a friend where you’re going and when you expect to be done.
• Keep the conversation in the app until you’re comfortable moving it.
• Trust the feeling that something is off. You never owe anyone a second meeting.

If something goes wrong

Email hello@slinedating.com with what happened, and we’ll read it ourselves. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.

Reports are reviewed by a person, not automatically. We are a small team, so this is not instant — but blocking is, and it does not wait for us.
