How does JoinTheSwing handle blocking and reporting?

Blocking is a first-class feature, not an afterthought. When you block a member on JoinTheSwing, the block is immediate, mutual, and complete. The blocked member cannot see your profile, cannot see your activity in shared spaces, cannot contact you, and does not appear in your discovery feed. You disappear from their view simultaneously.

The receipt trail matters: every block and report generates a support-visible record. If a member is blocked or reported by multiple people, that pattern surfaces to the support team for review. This is structurally different from platforms where blocks are silent and reports disappear into a queue.

Reporting a member takes less than a minute and prompts you to describe the specific concern. The report is stored with the full context of the interaction — the conversation thread, the relevant timeline, the member's verification status — so support can make an informed decision without asking you to relitigate everything.

The presence of verified identity changes the stakes for bad actors. Because every member has confirmed their real identity through team-reviewed ID verification, a removal from the platform is a genuine consequence — they cannot simply create a new account with a different email address.

If you need to report a boundary violation at a live event, the event host also has access to support tools through JoinTheSwing's host platform. Hosts can remove guests from an event and flag their account for platform-level review.
