What's welcome
- Skill trades between adults — photography for branding, coaching for design, hair for headshots, etc.
- Honest profiles with clear examples of your work and what you're looking for.
- Thoughtful messages — say hi, share context, propose a fair trade.
- Honest vouches after a real, completed trade.
What's not allowed
- Harassment, hate, or threats of any kind, including based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, ability, or background.
- Sexual content, nudity, or solicitation. VouchU is not a dating app.
- Scams or misrepresentation — fake skills, stolen portfolios, AI-generated photos passed off as real.
- Selling instead of trading. Asking for money beyond the agreed trade is not allowed.
- Illegal activity, regulated services without a license (medical, legal, financial), or anything that could harm someone.
- Spam, mass-messaging, scraping, or bot activity.
- Fake or coerced vouches. Vouches must reflect a real trade.
- Sharing private info (someone's address, phone, photos) without consent.
Meeting in person
- Meet in a public place the first time when possible.
- Tell a friend where you'll be.
- Trust your gut — leave if something feels off.
