Reporting is private. Always.
If you report a member, a piece of content, a group, or a Founder, we never tell that person it was you. They may eventually see that a report was made — that's part of the action we take — but the identity of the reporter is private. This isn't a policy we soften under pressure.
How to report
Every surface where one member can affect another has a Report button. That includes:
- A member's profile.
- A DM or DM photo.
- A group, a group post, or a comment on a post.
- An event.
- A Founder blast.
- A piece of content in the Library.
You'll pick a category (Spam, Harassment, Inappropriate content, Safety concern, Off-brand for In Eden, Other) and optionally add a short note. The whole report takes about ten seconds.
After you submit, we ask one follow-up question: "Want to block this person too?" That's optional and one tap — most reporters do.
What we actually do with reports
Reports land in our admin queue. Founder content reports go to a separate, higher-priority queue because their visibility is larger. Reviewers are real people — Amaya is one of them through launch.
Depending on what we find, we take one of these actions:
- Warning. A direct message to the reported member explaining what was flagged.
- Content removed. The post, comment, or piece of content is taken down.
- Founder paused. A Founder whose content has been reported twice in 30 days is automatically paused; an admin reviews before they're reinstated.
- Suspension. Temporary loss of posting + DM ability.
- Ban. Account permanently closed. Reserved for serious safety violations.
The reported person is only notified if action is taken against them. If a report doesn't lead to action, no one hears anything — including you.
Blocking is separate from reporting
You can block anyone, anytime, with no report and no reason. Blocking does three things at once:
- They can't see your profile, even by direct link.
- They can't DM you or send you a connection request.
- You disappear from each other's Friend Match pools, in both directions.
Blocking is silent. They get no notification. If they were trying to reach you, your name simply stops appearing.
Muting — different from blocking
Muting hides someone's content from your feeds without breaking the connection. If you don't want to see a person's posts but don't want to fully sever, mute is the lighter tool. They still see you; you don't see them.
In-person safety check-in
For Paid members who set up an in-person meeting with a connection, In Eden has a safety check-in tool in your DM thread: it asks for a meeting time and location, and at the time of the meeting, automatically sends a pre-written message to a trusted contact you've added in Settings. It's opt-in, and we never send a check-in without your explicit setup. This is one of the things we built specifically for women's safety, and we'd rather it exist for the rare time it's needed than be missing the day it is.
If something is happening right now
For active danger, call your local emergency services — In Eden support is not equipped to be a first responder, and we'd be lying if we pretended otherwise. After you're safe, email us at support@ineden.app so we can take account-level action immediately.
