Community Guidelines
Throwback Dating LLC
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Last Updated: July 31, 2026
Throwback Dating exists because dating apps stripped the humanity out of meeting someone. We're bringing that back... which only works if the people inside this community protect it. These Guidelines describe what we look for in every applicant, and what we expect of every Member, for as long as you're part of this community, regardless of Tier.
At the center of everything we do is one standard:
"People who foster unity, respect, and positive energy."
That's the filter we apply to every applicant, and it's the standard every Member agrees to hold themselves to. Below is what that looks like in practice.
1. Show Up With Respect
Treat every Member... on a date, at an event, in the community app or group, or in any message... the way you'd want to be treated.
Disagreements happen. Disrespect, harassment, and personal attacks are never acceptable, in person or online.
Honor other Members' boundaries, including when someone isn't interested in continuing a conversation or a connection.
2. Come As You Are, Honestly
Your application and profile information should reflect who you actually are: your age, your relationship status, your photos, and your intentions.
If your relationship status changes, whether you start a committed relationship, get engaged, or reconcile with an ex, let us know. Members are expected to notify the Company of this kind of change.
Represent yourself accurately in every interaction with another Member. Misrepresentation undermines the trust this whole community depends on.
3. Protect the Privacy of Others
Information you learn about another Member, whether from their profile, a conversation, or an event, stays between the two of you unless they've said otherwise.
Don't screenshot, forward, or share another Member's photos, messages, or personal details without their permission.
Respect that some Members share more than others. Curiosity is welcome. Pressure is not.
4. Bring Positive Energy to Events
Our events are built to feel warm, safe, and easy to walk into alone. Help us keep them that way.
Come with an open mind and genuine interest in the people around you, not just the ones you're personally interested in dating.
Respect the venue, the staff, and the other guests. Excessive drinking, inappropriate behavior, or conduct that makes others uncomfortable is grounds for being asked to leave, or for removal from the community.
5. No Solicitation, No Selling
This is a dating and social community, not a marketplace. Don't use it to sell products, services, business opportunities, or promote outside ventures to other Members.
6. Keep It Non-Sexual in Shared Spaces
Explicit, sexual, or inappropriate content has no place in the Community app, group threads, event spaces, or any Company-facilitated communication.
What happens between two consenting adults once a genuine connection has formed is between them. This Guideline is about what's shared with, or visible to, the broader community.
7. Give Real Feedback, Skip the Ghosting
If a match or introduction isn't a fit, a short, kind message goes a long way. You don't owe anyone an explanation, but a simple close is part of what makes this community feel different from the apps.
If you need space from the community or a temporary break, let us know. A Membership Freeze is available rather than simply going quiet.
What Happens If These Guidelines Aren't Followed
The Company retains sole discretion to address concerns as they arise, up to and including suspension or termination of membership without refund, consistent with the Membership Agreement. Most concerns are resolved with a direct, respectful conversation first. Our goal is always to protect the community, not to punish.
