Our Rules

Community Standards

Simple rules that keep everyone safe. Every member agrees to follow them.

🤝

Safety Net is built on trust. We verify our members. We check backgrounds. But rules matter too.

These are the rules. They're simple. They protect everyone.

Six Simple Rules

1

Help Freely

Never charge money for help.
Never accept payment.
If someone insists, tell them to donate to Safety Net.

No photos or videos without permission.
Never post about people you help on social media.

Always call 911 for real emergencies.
