Whappz Community Guidelines

Last Updated: October 31, 2026

Welcome to the Community

Whappz was created with a simple mission in mind: to facilitate connections between men for spanking hookups as well as more broadly to reduce the isolation and loneliness that many of us within the spanking community experience. Our priority is to create a safe space where you can be yourself, explore your interests without judgment, form meaningful connections, and find your community. With that in mind, we wrote these general community standards and safety practices (“Community Guidelines”) to keep Whappz safe, welcoming, and respectful.

These Community Guidelines explain what we expect from all users on Whappz and what kinds of content and behavior belong and don’t belong. The Guidelines should be read alongside our Terms of Service (“Terms”), which govern your use of the platform and all Services of Whappz. In using Whappz, you agree to respect and comply with the Terms and these Guidelines.

Report Prohibited Content and Activity: Help keep the community safe. If you see or experience anything that violates these Community Guidelines, let us know by making an in-app report. You can also email us at [email protected].

While we aim to be fair and consistent, Whappz remains the ultimate authority in determining how these Community Guidelines are interpreted or applied to any situation. We retain ultimate discretion in enforcing the Guidelines to protect Whappz and the community at large. We will update these Guidelines as Whappz and the community evolve, so be sure to review what’s new when we make updates.

1. Minors Are Strictly Prohibited

Whappz is strictly for individuals 18 years of age or older, and Whappz requires all users to report any suspected minor activity or misrepresentation of age. Minors are not permitted to create accounts, access the platform, or use Whappz in any way, shape, or form. Any attempt to create a profile as a minor, misrepresent age, or facilitate a minor’s access to or use of the Services will result in immediate account termination and may be reported to the authorities.

2. Zero Tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

Pictures of minors are strictly prohibited on Whappz, and we have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Whappz prohibits all images or visual depictions of any actual minor, descriptions relating to real or intended non-consensual corporal punishment of actual persons including minors, as well as any realistic or photorealistic representations of minors. This includes, but is not limited to, any photograph of an actual minor including any picture of yourself as a minor; any realistic synthetic images of minors created by AI or otherwise digitally generated; and any synthetic, altered, or photorealistic sexual imagery of minors, including sexual depictions of any minor in a cartoon, drawing, or illustration.

Report CSAM: Report potential violations of these Community Guidelines through the in-app reporting mechanism or by email to [email protected]. Any violation may result in immediate suspension or permanent account termination. We will report apparent child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by law, and may report suspected child endangerment or other unlawful activity involving minors to appropriate authorities.

3. Zero Tolerance for Human Trafficking and Exploitation

Whappz may not be used to engage in, facilitate, or support human trafficking, sexual exploitation, sextortion, or nonconsensual sexual activity. In order to prevent human trafficking and exploitation, accounts MUST ONLY BE USED by the person who registered them. Any use of Whappz to communicate for, control, exploit, or traffic another person, and any attempt to use or threaten to use another person’s images, information, or content to coerce or exploit them, may result in immediate suspension or a PERMANENT BAN. Providing false registration information or using someone else’s identity is strictly prohibited.

4. Member Profiles; Requirements and Limits

Whappz is for real people who want to create and use profiles for themselves. Bots and automated accounts are not permitted. Whappz does not encourage anyone to have more than one profile, but we allow users to maintain, at most, two (2) profiles for the specific purpose of maintaining separate accounts for separate “Dom/Sub” roles or different geographic locations. Creating a new or secondary profile for the purpose of misrepresenting yourself, bypassing a “block” from another user, or attempting to circumvent a suspension or ban is strictly prohibited. Furthermore, users may not repeatedly create, delete, and recreate profiles in any way that abuses or unnecessarily burdens the platform or our Services.

5. Profile Photos, Private Albums, and AI-Generated Content

Main Profile Photos; In General

Having photos on the community interface helps our community feel authentic and vibrant. That’s why we require each new user to upload at least one approved profile photo to use Whappz. At the same time, profile photos need to follow certain standards so that Whappz stays eligible for the major app stores. A user needs at least one approved profile photo to join Whappz and use the Services. All users may upload up to four (4) profile photos, while users with a Premium Subscription may have up to eight (8).

Your Certification

By uploading a profile photo, you confirm that any photo of you is actually of YOU, that you have the right to use the photo, and that any other person shown has given you permission to use it.

Approval Criteria

To be approved, profile photos:

• MUST clearly show you or a substantial view of you or otherwise clearly reflect your interest in spanking;
• MUST comply with these Community Guidelines and Terms, including the below standards on Authenticity and AI-Generated Content & AI Use;
• MUST NOT depict any minor, including in any illustration;
• MUST NOT contain nudity or close-ups showing clothed or partly clothed outlines of the groin, gluteal cleft, genitals, or other intimate areas;
• MUST NOT contain text overlays or any sexually suggestive content, including active kink or fetish play, sexual gestures or positions, or sexual objects; HOWEVER, main profile photos MAY show you wearing kink gear or holding an object like a spanking implement as long as you are not engaged in active play; and
• MUST NOT include drugs, drug paraphernalia, or weapons of any kind.

All Photos; Private Albums

All photos, whether profile photos, private album photos, or photos sent directly to another user, must comply with these Community Guidelines, including the prohibitions on content involving minors, CSAM, non-consensual imagery, or other illegal or otherwise prohibited content.

Authenticity; No Fake Profiles or Catfishing

Whappz is built around authentic human connections. Your photos should be an accurate representation of YOU. You may NOT create a false or misleading profile, impersonate another person, use another person’s photos or likeness without their permission, engage in “catfishing,” or otherwise materially misrepresent who you are or what you look like.

AI-Generated Content & AI Use

AI tools MAY be used to enhance your own profile photos, including creating stylized avatars, applying creative filters, or editing out imperfections. However, you may NOT use AI to materially misrepresent your age, physical appearance, or identity; create deepfakes or other synthetic or altered images using the likeness of an identifiable real person without their consent; or automate interactions, including using AI or bots to send messages or chat on your behalf. We want our members to know that when they receive a message, there is a real person behind the words. AI-generated or -altered content must otherwise comply with these Community Guidelines, including the prohibitions in Section 2.

Photo Standards; Enforcement

Whappz reserves the right at all times to remove any photo that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be extreme, unsafe, or harmful to the community or otherwise inappropriate for our platform. Profile photo standards may change over time. We reserve the right to “grandfather in” older photos that were permitted under prior standards at our discretion, but all new content uploaded to the platform must meet current requirements. If a photo is not approved for your main profile but is otherwise permitted under these Guidelines, we may move it to a private album if you have the space; otherwise, it will be deleted.

6. No Spam, Scams, or Commercial Use

It is strictly prohibited to use Whappz for unauthorized commercial or promotional purposes, including advertising or soliciting commercial services; arranging or soliciting paid sexual or escort services; sending spam, junk, repetitive, or unwanted bulk messages, including messages sent or generated by bots or automated systems; phishing, fraud, or scams; requesting money or financial assistance; redirecting users to other websites, apps, or services for prohibited purposes; or artificially increasing profile views or other interactions through automated, repetitive, misleading, or otherwise inauthentic activity.

7. No Abusive Conduct; Other Prohibited Red Line Content

You may not use Whappz to bully, abuse, threaten, intimidate, or otherwise engage in illegal conduct. Whappz prohibits any content that promotes violence or other illegal or non-consensual activity; involves illegal drugs, weapons, or restricted goods; or depicts blood, scat, bestiality, or other extreme material. We will remove any text or images that constitute red line content, including content involving minors, CSAM, non-consensual imagery, or other illegal content, and may take other appropriate actions including as required by applicable law.

8. Consent Always Required

Every interaction on Whappz MUST be CONSENSUAL. Always seek clear and enthusiastic consent for every activity, whether online or in person. Respect boundaries at all times. No means no. Consent may be withdrawn at any point. Never pressure, intimidate, or coerce anyone into participating or continuing to participate in any activity.

9. Respect Others; Protect Privacy

Whappz aims to foster a safe, inclusive, and positive community. Treat other users with kindness and respect, including their preferences and boundaries. Harassment, discrimination, hate, slurs, or language intended to demean or intimidate others are not tolerated. Respect the privacy of others. Do not share their personal information, private communications, or images without permission, or attempt to use location, distance, or other information from the platform to stalk, track, monitor, or locate other users.

10. Safety Practices

Safety is a priority for us here at Whappz, but being safe requires your active participation:

• Be Mindful of Your Use: Whappz does not have an “anonymous” mode for its users. To put it simply, if you are logged into the app, other users will be able to see your profile and that you are browsing online. Anyone who shares your device or views any notifications sent to your device may also be able to determine that you are a user of the Services.
• Be Mindful of What You Post: We cannot prevent other users from taking screenshots or saving photos of content uploaded to the platform.
• Protect Your Own Privacy: Use your discretion before you share your personal details, including your name, contact information, or any social media handles. Don’t let anyone pressure you into revealing any information that you’re not comfortable sharing.
• Before You Meet in Person: Take reasonable steps to corroborate the age of anyone you suspect may be misusing the platform. If you decide to meet someone, consider meeting in a public or familiar place. Tell a trusted friend about the plan: let them know where you are going, tell them once you are done, and consider sharing your location with them prior to an in-person meetup.
• When You Meet in Person: Determine whether you still want to play. Consent can be withdrawn. You do not have to play with anyone you don’t want to.
• “Block” Feature: If someone is making you uncomfortable, you can block them. This prevents them from contacting you further.
• “Community Verification” Feature: If you’ve met someone in person, consider verifying them with our “Verification” tool. Verifications are community driven. However, remember that the number of verifications or who verified someone is NOT a formal background check or a guarantee of safety or identity by Whappz.
• Community Events: While we are happy to partner with and list community events on our Services, we do not necessarily own or operate those events and cannot guarantee their quality, safety, or the accuracy of information provided by event organizers.

Have Fun! Be yourself, use good judgment, respect others, and enjoy connecting with the community.

11. Reporting and Content Removal

You may report suspected violations of these Community Guidelines or the Terms of Service by using the in-app report tool or emailing us at [email protected].

Content Removal Requests: If you believe a photo or image depicting you is posted or shared on Whappz without your permission, please email us at [email protected] with enough information for us to locate it, such as the profile, description of the specific photo, and the private album or location where it appears, and briefly explain why you are requesting removal.

Non-Consensual Intimate Content (TAKE IT DOWN Act): If an intimate image or video depicting you, or someone you are authorized to represent, has been published on Whappz without consent, you may request its removal by emailing us at [email protected]. This includes authentic, AI-generated, or digitally altered images or videos. A removal request must include: (1) your contact information; (2) enough information to identify and locate the content; (3) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the depiction is nonconsensual, including relevant information to allow us to determine that it was published without consent; and (4) your physical or electronic signature. Upon receiving a complete and valid request, Whappz will, as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours, remove the identified depiction and make reasonable efforts to identify and remove any known identical copies from the Services.

Copyright Requests: For copyright removal requests, please refer to the process provided in our Terms of Service .

12. Enforcement and Appeals

Our goal is never to “police” our members, but to protect the space that we all share. When someone ignores or violates these Community Guidelines, it affects everyone’s experience. Depending on the circumstances, Whappz may remove or restrict content, issue a warning, require correction or verification, restrict features, temporarily suspend an account, permanently terminate an account, and/or take other appropriate action. Serious safety concerns may require immediate protective action while we review what happened, while serious or repeated violations may result in permanent account termination. Users may not create replacement accounts to evade or circumvent enforcement. Whappz may prevent or restrict the creation or use of additional accounts following a suspension, termination, or other enforcement action.

Appeals: Mistakes can happen. If you think we got something wrong, contact us at [email protected] and ask us to take another look. A request for review does not guarantee that a decision will be changed. We always aim to be fair and consistent in applying these Community Guidelines and the Terms of Service .
