knock works because both people choose to knock. These guidelines keep it a place where that feels safe. They apply to your profile, photos and messages.
Be real
- Use your own, recent photos where people can see your face.
- Use your real first name and your real birthday.
- One account per person. Don't pretend to be someone else.
Be respectful
- No harassment, bullying, threats or hate based on who someone is.
- If someone doesn't knock back, unmatches or stops replying, let it go.
- Don't pressure anyone to meet, share photos or move off knock.
Keep it clean
- No nudity or sexual content in photos or prompts.
- No violent, graphic or illegal content.
- Don't send sexual messages to someone who hasn't clearly welcomed them.
No scams or spam
- Never ask anyone for money, gifts, investments or financial details.
- No advertising, selling, links to promote other services, or bots.
Respect privacy
- Don't share anyone else's personal information, photos or conversations without their permission.
- Don't post your own phone number, address or social handles in your profile.
Adults only
knock is for people aged 18 or older. Never post photos of children on their own, and report anyone you believe is under 18.
Reporting and blocking
You can block or report anyone from their profile or your chat. Blocking closes the chat for both of you. Reports are private: the person won't know who reported them. You can also email grievance@knockon.online.
What happens if you break the rules
Depending on what happened, we may remove content, warn you, restrict your account, or remove you from knock. Serious or repeated breaches lead to removal, and we may contact the police if someone is in danger.
