Report Unsafe or Inappropriate Behaviour

You Can Leave First

Leaving comes first, reporting second. The moment a chat turns threatening — or just feels wrong — end it. You never owe anyone extra seconds while you think about what to do next.

Once you are out, breathe. The Report option lives in the chat interface, and whatever just happened is exactly what it is built for. Report from a safe distance, not from inside the conversation.

One thing up front: Randomegle is not a police, medical or emergency-response service. If you are in immediate danger, contact the appropriate authority in your location first — a platform report can wait, your safety cannot.

When You Should Report Another User

Submit a report when someone crosses a line — when their behaviour breaks the Community Guidelines or puts a real person at risk. Common reasons include:

• harassment, threats or intimidation;
• hate speech or discriminatory abuse;
• fraud, scams or deceptive requests for payment;
• impersonation of another person or organisation;
• sharing someone else’s private information;
• any attempt to involve or contact a minor;
• repeated pressure after you have clearly refused;
• seriously harmful or illegal content.

Not every bad vibe is a violation. A boring match, an awkward silence, someone who simply is not your type — that is what Next is for. Save reports for conduct, not chemistry.

Still unsure whether it counts? Ask yourself one question: would this behaviour be a problem no matter who it happened to? If yes, report it.

Scams and Financial Requests

Money talk from a stranger is always a red flag. Gift cards, cryptocurrency, a "verification code", remote access to your device — the story changes, the goal never does.

A common script: a few warm minutes of small talk, then a sudden emergency only your money can fix. The urgency is the trick. Slow down, and the whole thing falls apart.

If money has come up, take these steps in order:

• do not send any money;
• end the interaction;
• block the user;
• submit a report with relevant, non-sensitive details;
• contact your payment provider if you have already sent funds.

Never send banking information, passwords or authentication codes through a random chat, no matter how convincing the story sounds. Real friends do not invoice you. Scammers do.

How to Report During a Chat

Reporting mid-chat takes seconds — you can be done before the other person even realises you have gone. The steps:

• end or Next the conversation when staying connected creates risk;
• choose the Report option in the chat interface;
• select the reason that most accurately matches what happened;
• add a short, factual description for context;
• submit the report, then block the user where a block option is available.

Do not stay in a threatening conversation just to gather more of it. Whatever you have already seen is enough. Report, leave, done.

Information That Helps a Report

The best reports read like a snapshot — what happened, when, and how often. When you can, note:

• what the user said or displayed;
• roughly when it happened;
• which chat mode you were using;
• whether the behaviour was repeated;
• whether money, threats or private information were involved.

Stick to what you actually saw and heard. Guesses and exaggeration slow a review down; plain facts speed it up.

Keep it honest, too — knowingly false or retaliatory reports can themselves break the Terms of Service. Report behaviour you witnessed, not a match you simply disliked.

What Happens After You Report

Your report goes to a real review, not a black hole. The team weighs your description alongside relevant session details, prior report history and the applicable policy.

From there, the outcome scales with what the review finds: a warning, feature limits, a temporary suspension, a longer restriction — or, where required, referral to an authority.

A report does not guarantee a specific action, and you may not hear the full outcome. Detailed enforcement information cannot always be shared, because it can involve another person’s privacy or an ongoing review.

Wondering how your own details are handled when you file a report? The Privacy Policy lays it out in plain terms.
