These rules keep Nearli safe and authentic for everyone — in groups, messages, listings, and check-ins. Sections 2–6 apply specifically to check-in photos. By uploading a check-in photo you confirm it’s authentic, was taken at the event, and complies with these community guidelines.
1. Community conduct (everywhere in Nearli)
• Be respectful in groups, messages, profiles, and listings.
• No harassment, bullying, hate speech, or threats toward anyone.
• No impersonating other people, businesses, or Nearli staff.
• No spam, scams, pyramid schemes, or unsolicited advertising.
• No sexually explicit content anywhere in the app.
• No promoting illegal activity, and no content that endangers minors.
• Meet-up safety: meet in public places, tell someone where you’re going, and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable with the in-app Report and Block tools.
2. Event verification
• Photos must be taken at the event location during the event.
• The venue, signage, event vehicles, displays, or recognizable features must be visible.
• Photos must be original and taken by you.
• Screenshots, downloaded images, AI-generated images, stock photos, or reused photos are not allowed.
• Photos that can’t reasonably be linked to the specific event or venue may be rejected.
3. Location authenticity
• Check-in photos should clearly show something unique to the event or venue.
• You may be asked to retake a photo if the location can’t be verified.
• Checking in from a different location with old or misleading photos may cost you XP, remove the check-in, or lead to account penalties.
4. Check-in photo content
• No nudity or sexually explicit content.
• No graphic violence or gore.
• No illegal activities, drug use, or paraphernalia.
• No hate speech, harassment, or discrimination.
• No threats, dangerous behavior, or weapons shown threateningly.
• No spam, ads, or content unrelated to the event.
• No offensive gestures or inappropriate behavior.
5. Privacy & safety
• Don’t post photos exposing private info — driver’s licenses, credit cards, home addresses, phone numbers, or financial info.
• Respect the privacy of others attending the event.
6. Enforcement
• Nearli may reject any check-in photo.
• We may remove check-ins that violate these guidelines.
• We may remove XP or rewards earned through fraudulent check-ins.
• Repeated violations may lead to account suspension or a permanent ban.
