Trust & safety

Safety has to feel built in, not added later

Verified student accounts

Student email verification makes the platform feel more legitimate and reduces random fake profiles. For something as social as event dating, this matters a lot.

Safe Date mode

Clear expectations before the first message even starts.

Report system

Simple reporting for inappropriate behavior or bad actors.

Positive-only badges

Green flags avoid public negativity while still rewarding good behavior.

Moderation ready
