Bolas Community Guidelines

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Effective date: October 1, 2026

Bolas is where people find others to build with. Keep it the kind of place you'd want to show up to. These guidelines are part of our Terms, and we don't tolerate objectionable content or abusive behavior.

Be real

  • Use your own name and photo. One account per person.
  • Say what you're actually building, looking for, and good at.
  • You must be 18 or older.

Don't sell to strangers

  • No pitching products, courses, or services to people who didn't ask.
  • No "passive income," crypto signals, MLMs, or "DM me to learn how" posts.
  • Never ask someone for money, gift cards, or payment details.

Be respectful

  • No harassment, bullying, threats, or unwanted advances, in the app or in person.
  • No hate speech, slurs, or attacks on anyone's identity.
  • Take "no" for an answer. If someone doesn't reply, move on.

Keep it appropriate

  • No sexual content or nudity, and nothing involving minors, ever.
  • No violence, gore, or content that encourages self-harm.
  • No illegal activity.

Respect privacy

  • Don't share other people's personal information, photos, or messages without permission.
  • Don't share an event's exact location with people who aren't going.
  • Don't use Bolas to track or find anyone who doesn't want to be found.

Meet safely

  • Meet in public places, especially the first time.
  • Read our Safety Tips before meeting someone new.

Invest posts

  • Invest posts are introductions. Say what you're building, or what you like to back. Be honest about where things really are.
  • No amounts, valuations, equity percentages, or promises of returns. Never "guaranteed," "risk-free," or "double your money."
  • No emails, phone numbers, payment apps, or crypto wallets in posts. People reach you through Bolas.
  • Never ask for money up front, a "fee to join," gift cards, or crypto. Never pressure anyone to decide fast.
  • Before any deal: meet in person, check them out, and talk to a lawyer or accountant.

Hosting events

  • Host in public places, and describe your event honestly.
  • Don't use events to sell things or to collect people's information.

Report and block

  • If something feels off, report it. Tap ⋯ on a profile, long-press a message, or tap Report after meeting someone in person. Reports are private, and we review them within 24 hours.
  • Block anyone you don't want to hear from. They won't be told.

What happens if you break these rules

Depending on what happened, we may remove content, limit features, or suspend or delete accounts, sometimes without warning. We report illegal activity, including anything involving the exploitation of minors, to the authorities.
