Salgamos user guidelines

Salgamos is a safe space designed to help you find fun, friends, love, and any other kind of rewarding and respectful relationship you and your potential papis and/or papitos so desire.

However, just like in real life, your attitude, behavior, and actions will color the responses and results you get. In other words, like the old saying goes, you reap what you sow. In short, be kind, be yourself, be chill, and be rewarded.

Remember, you are matching and chatting and swapping and sharing with other humans just like yourself. Everyone has boundaries and feelings that need to be kept in mind, even when the conversations turn sexy (and they will).

Follow the Golden Rule and treat others how you want to be treated.

Besides this, users have responsibilities unto themselves to keep our community inclusive and caring so that everyone can enjoy their time on the app without experiencing fear or apprehension.

Listed below are a series of expectations that are to be followed by our users along with the various consequences (permanent bans/suspensions etc.) that could ensue should these guidelines not be taken to heart.

These guidelines apply to all of your content and activity on Salgamos, as well as to any interactions you may have with other Salgamos users off the platform. We reserve the right to revise and update these guidelines as we see fit.


Image Guidelines:

Your profile photo should accurately represent you (because you’re worth it)! Just as your face and appearance help to make a first impression in real life, so should your profile photo.

Do not upload images that do not accurately represent yourself: no photos of celebrities, your pets, or random memes, for example. Users want to match with you, not your dog Sparky.

The idea is to give any potential matches an accurate representation of who you are. Besides this, be your best self. Do not upload NSFW images as your main photo(s). Keep it simple and save the spicy ones for later, there will be plenty of opportunities for this once you make a connection.

The below are guidelines to follow to avoid being reported and/or banned:


  • Don‘t include other people in your photos.
  • Don‘t advertise, post spam, or other promotional content. Make your money elsewhere, please.
  • Don‘t show guns, acts of violence, drug use and/or other activities widely understood to be illegal.
  • Post only pictures that you own, no other copyrighted images/material should be uploaded.
  • Don’t post pornographic images or other sexually explicit content. The public search feeds are not meant for this.
  • Your face should be clearly visible in each photo.
  • Don’t include direct contact information (phone numbers, email addresses etc.) in your photos.

Profile Guidelines:

Once your profile becomes visible to other search feeds, your image and user name will be what prompts a response (or lack thereof) from other users. You will be able to swipe down to view another profile in full, pre-match and post-match, to give you all the details you need to make a quality connection.

Don‘t skip a chance to introduce yourself with a snappy opener. Be clear, concise, and approachable and make the most of the creative prompts provided to maximize your experience. That’s what they’re there for.

Your approach, like your profile, is up to you and your preferences. Keep it simple or go all out, be fun and festive, or keep it stark and serious; the choice is yours. However, please follow these guidelines when interacting with other users:


  • Your name doesn‘t have to come directly from your birth certificate, but it should be the name you use everyday IRL. We also ask all users to share accurate profile details about themselves, especially when it comes to age, location, gender etc. These elements are not only crucial to fruitful matches, but legally required in all areas (especially as it pertains to a user’s age).
  • Keep your profile name and intro appropriate and SFW. Further, trolling, the use of hate speech, and/or offensive and extremist phrases will not be tolerated on the platform under any circumstances. Salgamos is not a space for bullies or others without empathy.
  • Every user is validated via mobile phone number. No fake/spoof accounts and no joint/couples’ accounts are allowed. One user, one account.
  • Don‘t post any direct contact information (phone numbers, email addresses) or any sensitive/potentially compromising material such as your (or others’) social security number, passport details or pictures, passwords, financial/banking information or any other unlisted contact information.
  • Don‘t use your profile to share marketing content, spam messages, or links to external websites. This is a dating and social media platform, it is not meant to be used to advertise any other commercial endeavors. Best of luck to you in your businesses, but Salgamos is not the place for it.

Nudity and Sexual Content:

Sexually explicit nudity is not allowed in public profiles. Our user experience is subject to the guidelines provided by the various app stores (if we can deal with it, so can you).

A general rule of thumb to follow is you cannot post to your profile on Salgamos what you cannot post to your profile on Instagram.

Photos can absolutely be sent privately, but always make sure you are given consent first by any parties meant to receive your material. Some types of photos may result in a ban if the recipient feels unsafe.

For images posted publicly to your profile:


  • No images considered to be pornographic in nature, including images depicting sex acts of any variety, are allowed (no matter how fun you think they are).
  • No exposed genitals of any variety.
  • No bodily fluids: including semen, urine, blood, or bodily discharge (if it comes out of you, don’t post a picture of it).

Private Information:

  • Salgamos will never directly ask you for personal details like your password or your credit card information. Communications of this nature will come via our official partners like the Apple App Store, Google Play App Store, etc. Any other users you encounter do not need to be given this information even if they ask. Keep these details to yourself.
  • Unwelcome solicitation of such information or other spam tactics will result in punitive measures (such as the banning or suspension of your account, even indefinitely).

Inappropriate and/or Illegal Behavior:

Salgamos is not a space exempt from the rule of law. Activity or behavior that is illegal offline is illegal online, as well. Don‘t share, advertise, or otherwise publicize: sexual acts, drug dealing or taking/using, fraud, threats, acts of violence, or other illegal activities on your profile or in your chats.

  • Harassment:
  • Again, follow the Golden Rule. Treat others how you would like to be treated.
  • If someone indicates that they want to be left alone, respect their wishes and leave them alone. No exceptions. Misuse of the reporting system to settle any (perceived) vendettas or to “get back” at another user will result in a permanent ban.
  • Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Toxic or offensive messages based on the following are not allowed or condoned:

    • Race
    • Age
    • Disability
    • Ethnicity
    • Religious Beliefs
    • Gender
    • Sexual Orientation
    • Gender Identity
    • Physical Appearance
    • Nationality

Location Services:

Salgamos may collect your precise location ("Location") to determine your distance from other users (“Distance Information”). Some users may use Distance Information to discover your exact location; be aware of this when maintaining your preferences. As always, you can hide this information via Settings while the app continues to sort and display your profile based on your relative distance from other users.

There remains the possibility that despite these measures, some other users may still be able to determine your Location. You can always revoke permission and disable Location Services on your device if you so choose.

Age Restriction:

Salgamos is a dating app for legal adults only. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to open and use an account. Users who violate this guideline will be banned and run the risk of Salgamos involving the appropriate authorities.

A total ban on minor activity means a TOTAL ban: do not communicate with anyone you believe to be under 18 years of age. Immediately report underage profiles, you are helping to keep yourself and other users safe.

Reporting:

We have deliberately made it quick, easy, and convenient to report members who actively disregard these guidelines. Salgamos is meant to be a safe, respectable space and the safety of our users online is our chief concern.

Users who violate these stated guidelines and/or otherwise promote rude, disrespectful, inappropriate material and/or behavior are subject to reporting.

If you notice someone acting against these guidelines and creating an unsafe environment for yourself and others, please don‘t merely block them. Reporting helps us investigate inappropriate behavior and ban toxic users, keeping Salgamos as the safe, welcoming, and inclusive community that it is meant to be.

Stay Sweet And Sugary!:

We at Salgamos hope you agree that the above guidelines are common sense and have been posted in the spirit of maintaining a community that we are all proud to be a part of.

We are here to keep our users safe while encouraging meaningful connections that result in love, sex, and caring relationships of all kinds and characteristics.

Be respectful and be kind, for yourself and for others, and you’ll likely be fine!
