Badge & Verification Policy

Effective date: February 2, 2026 Last updated: February 2, 2026

Purpose

Badges build trust and compatibility without turning people into public scores.

Badge rules

• Only positive, opt-in badges are allowed.
• No negative badges, downvotes, or public scoring.
• Badges can be set to public or match-only visibility.

Verification

Some badges require proof:

• Education: school email or document review.
• Profession: LinkedIn-style verification.
• Fitness consistency: activity confirmation or optional integrations.

Anti-abuse

• Daily limits on giving badges.
• Anomaly detection for brigading or coordinated actions.
• Fraudulent badge claims result in revocation or suspension.
