Community Guidelines

ZimboConnect is a home away from home — a place to find love, community, and good vibes, rooted in our culture. These guidelines keep it warm, safe, and respectful for everyone. Breaking them can lead to content removal, hidden profiles, or account suspension.

Be real

• Use your own photos and honest information.
• Complete verification — it protects the whole community.
• No fake profiles, catfishing, or impersonation.

Be honest about why you're here

Members tell us what brings them to ZimboConnect — love, friendship, events, or community — and plenty of people here are married or partnered and are not looking for romance. Respect that.

• Keep your mode and relationship status accurate and up to date.
• Don't use Community mode as a way into someone's DMs romantically.
• Misrepresenting your relationship status, or using Community mode to pursue romantic connections after receiving a report, is grounds for immediate and permanent removal from the platform.

Be respectful

• Treat others with kunzwira / ubuntu — kindness and respect.
• No harassment, hate speech, bullying, or discrimination.
• “No” means no. Respect people's boundaries and consent.

Be safe

• Never send money to, or accept money from, other members.
• Be cautious sharing personal or financial details.
• Meet in public places and tell a friend when meeting someone new.
• Use Block and Report if something feels off.

Keep it clean

• No nudity, sexually explicit content, or violent imagery.
• No spam, scams, advertising, or off-platform solicitation.
• No illegal content or activity.

Reporting & enforcement

You can report a profile, a photo, or a message. Profiles that receive multiple reports are automatically hidden pending review by our team. We review reports and take action, which may include warnings, removals, or bans. Serious matters may be referred to the relevant authorities. These guidelines are the friendly version — the full rules and enforcement terms are set out in our Acceptable Use Policy.
