Online Safety

💬 Chatting Safely

• Keep conversations on Amapianos until you genuinely trust someone.
• Never share financial information — bank details, card numbers, or send money to anyone.
• Be wary of anyone who quickly asks for money, gifts, or favours.
• Don't share your home address or precise location with people you've just met.
• Watch for inconsistencies in someone's story — not everyone is who they claim to be online.

🚫 Drug-Free Parties

Amapianos promotes drug-free parties. Amapiano is about the music, the dance and the community — not substance abuse.

• Illegal drugs must never be supplied, sold, used, or promoted at any party listed on Amapianos.
• Hosts: make your event explicitly drug-free and arrange responsible security.
• Drink responsibly, know your limits, and never leave your drink unattended.
• Look out for one another — if a friend seems unwell or unsafe, get help immediately.
• Listings or messages that promote drug use will be removed and the accounts may be suspended.

🎉 Attending & Hosting Parties

Parties on Amapianos are created and run by members, not by Amapianos. Stay safe whether you're going or hosting:

• Before you go: read the party's minimum age, pricing, security, dress code, guest and drinks policies and house rules. Unclear about something? Use Ask a Question on the party page first.
• Paid parties: check the refund policy before paying. Payments and refunds are between you and the host — Amapianos does not process party payments.
• Meeting in person: tell a friend where you're going, arrange your own transport, arrive sober and aware, and trust your instincts — leave if you feel uncomfortable.
• Hosts: you are responsible for your guests' safety, age checks, security and venue compliance. Consider appointing a trusted member as your safety / concern contact.
• Off-platform invites: if you invite people via Instagram or Facebook, apply the same caution — don't share sensitive details with people you don't know.

🚩 Red Flags to Watch For

• Requests for money or financial help, however compelling the story.
• Pressure to move to another platform or to meet privately straight away.
• A party or host that won't answer reasonable questions about safety, security or age limits.
• Events that hint at or promote drugs, or pressure you to use them.
• Profiles with very few details that seem too good to be true.

🛟 Reporting & Support

• Concerns about a party: use Report a Concern on the party page. It goes to the organiser and their appointed safety contact, and is kept on record.
• Concerns about a user: use the report tools on profiles and conversations, and block anyone who makes you uncomfortable — they won't be notified.
• For anything else, reach the team via the Contact page.
• In an emergency, always contact your local authorities first.
