Report & block guide: completely private

If a member's behaviour feels uncomfortable, suspicious or against the rules, report or block them. Both are private — the other person is never told.

1.The difference between reporting and blocking

ReportBlock
What happensThe safety team reviews it and takes actionContact between you stops immediately
WhenRule-breaking, fraud, harassment, fake profilesYou simply don't want contact any more
Will the other person know?NoNo
Can it be undone?A report can be withdrawnYou can unblock from Settings

2.When to report

  • Asking for money, gifts, or bank or mobile banking details
  • Indecent, threatening or insulting messages, or repeated unwanted contact (harassment)
  • Fake photos, someone else's photos, indecent photos, a false age, or hiding an existing marriage
  • Attempted scams or fraud, or any suspicious behaviour
  • Posing as ShadiMaker staff or a matchmaker and asking for a fee
  • Commercial promotion or spam
  • A profile of someone under age

3.How to report

1
Open the profile or messages

You'll find “Report” at the bottom of the profile; from the menu at the top of a chat you can go to that person's profile. If you can't find the profile, use the “Report a member” button on the support ticket page and enter their profile ID (e.g. SG-10021).

2
Choose a reason

Choose the closest reason, and add details if needed.

3
Add details (optional)

Briefly write what happened and when. If needed, the safety team will look at the relevant messages.

4
Submit

You can block at the same time if you like. You'll be notified about the report's status.

4.What happens after a report

Our safety team usually reviews a report within 24 hours. If needed, the flagged part of the conversation is looked at — not the whole conversation.

OutcomeWhen
WarningA minor or first-time breach of the rules
Temporary suspensionRepeated breaches, or while an investigation is under way
Permanent removalFraud, threats, a fake identity or serious misuse
No actionIf no evidence of a breach is found

5.What happens when you block

  • They can no longer see your profile or send you interest or messages
  • You won't see their profile in search either
  • Earlier messages are hidden on your side
  • No notification is sent to them

6.False reports

Deliberately making false or harassing reports breaks the community guidelines, and action may be taken against the account.
