Consent rules

Consent must be informed, specific, ongoing and reversible.

  • Stop when consent changes.

Privacy expectations

People control what they share and how they are identified.

  • No photos without permission.
  • Do not disclose attendance.
  • Do not tag or identify others without consent.

Adults only

BarkMore is for adults only; events may have additional age rules.

  • Follow venue-specific age notes.
  • Do not involve minors in spaces or account features.
  • Use public-safe language on the website.

Inclusion & anti-harassment

Discrimination, intimidation and harassment are not welcome.

  • Respect names and pronouns.

  • Use reporting paths when harm occurs.

Something feels wrong? Use the reporting path.
