User Guidelines
Be honest without being harmful
Follow Tattletate guidelines for respectful anonymous messages, safe inbox management, privacy, reporting, and responsible sharing.
For people sending messages
- Be candid, constructive, and relevant to the recipient.
- Respect boundaries and stop contacting someone who does not welcome messages.
- Avoid sharing private information about yourself or another person.
- Never send threats, targeted harassment, hateful material, sexual exploitation, scams, or instructions for harm.
- Do not impersonate another person or misrepresent your relationship with the recipient.
For inbox owners
- Treat private submissions with care, even when you choose to share generated media.
- Avoid exposing a sender or people mentioned in a message.
- Delete harmful content and preserve only what is needed for a legitimate safety report.
- Pause your public link if messages become overwhelming or attract coordinated abuse.
- Remember that anonymous claims may be incomplete, mistaken, or intentionally misleading.
Reporting and urgent situations
Use the Contact Us page to report content or conduct that may violate these guidelines. Include relevant references and a clear explanation. If there is an immediate threat to someone’s safety, contact local emergency services before contacting Tattletate.
Enforcement
Depending on severity and context, Tattletate may remove content, disable links, restrict accounts, retain evidence needed for an investigation, or cooperate with valid legal requests. Repeated or severe violations may result in permanent loss of access.
A simple standard
Before sending or sharing, ask whether the action respects consent, privacy, safety, and the recipient’s dignity. Anonymity should make difficult honesty possible—not make cruelty easier.
