Community Guidelines

Last updated October 3, 2026

E-Motion Chat exists so people going through something hard can find someone who gets it. Everyone here is a peer. These rules keep it safe and kind.

Be kind and listen first

Listen before giving advice, and only give advice if it's wanted.
No judging, mocking, or minimizing someone's feelings.
Respect "pause" and "end chat." If someone steps away, let them.

Not allowed

Harassment or hate: bullying, threats, slurs, or attacks based on identity.
Sexual content: no sexual messages or images, and no using E-Motion Chat for dating or hookups.
Anyone under 18: E-Motion Chat is for adults only.
Encouraging self-harm: never encourage someone to hurt themselves. If someone is in danger, point them to a crisis line.
Spam, scams, or selling: no ads, links for money, fundraising, or recruiting.
Pretending to be a professional: don't claim to be a therapist or doctor, and don't diagnose people.
Sharing private info: don't share anyone's real name, address, photos, or screenshots of chats without consent.
Illegal activity of any kind.

Meetups (E-Motion Plus)

Meet only in busy public places, tell a friend where you'll be, never share your home address, and leave any time you feel uncomfortable.

Enforcement

Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Objectionable words are filtered automatically, and anyone can report a Motion, profile or message, hide a Motion, or block a user. We review every report within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these rules and remove the account that posted it. We may also end chats or permanently ban accounts. Serious threats may be reported to authorities. If you think we made a mistake, email emotionchatsupport@forwardonlyllc.com.

If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself: E-Motion Chat is peer support, not an emergency service. In the US, call or text 988. Elsewhere, find a free, confidential line at findahelpline.com. If you're in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.
