Community Guidelines

Last updated: 25 August 2026

Introduction

OpStap brings people together for a night out. To keep that safe and enjoyable for everyone, these guidelines apply to all users.

1. Respectful behaviour

  • Treat others the way you want to be treated.
  • Discrimination based on origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation or other characteristics is not tolerated.
  • Harassment, bullying or threatening other users is strictly forbidden.
  • Inappropriate profile photos and usernames are not allowed.

2. Keeping commitments

  • When you check in for an evening, you confirm that you seriously intend to go.
  • If you cannot make it, cancel as early as possible in the app.
  • No-shows without cancellation lower your trust score.
  • Repeated no-shows may result in a temporary or permanent account block.

3. Safety

  • Identity verification is required to check in.
  • The app is only available to people aged 18 and over.
  • You can report or block any user via their profile or (group) chat.
  • All reports are reviewed and followed up by the OpStap team.

If you feel unsafe or in danger, always call the police first. In an emergency: 112. Not urgent but still need police: 0800 8844. OpStap is not an emergency service. Afterwards you can report in the app or email opstap@pascal.services.

4. Prohibited behaviour

The following leads to immediate account removal without warning:

  • Providing false identity details during verification
  • Creating multiple accounts
  • Sharing other users' personal data outside the app
  • Sending sexual or violent messages in group chat
  • Using the app for commercial purposes or spam
  • Abusing the report or block button

5. Trust score

  • Every user has a trust score from 1 to 10.
  • The score rises when group members confirm you showed up.
  • The score drops for no-shows or last-minute cancellations.
  • A low score can affect your chances of being matched.

6. Enforcement

If you break the rules, OpStap may take these steps:

  • Warning: first offence for light misuse
  • Temporary block: repeated or more serious misuse
  • Permanent ban: serious violations or ongoing misconduct

Appeal via opstap@pascal.services. We respond within 5 business days.

7. Reporting someone

Report via:

All reports are confidential. Your identity is not shared with the reported user. Reporting to OpStap does not replace contacting the police — in danger call 112 or 0800 8844.
