What are vouches on JoinTheSwing and how do they work?
JoinTheSwing plans vouches for launch: a vouch is a member-authored endorsement that can add social context to a profile. It is subjective: the platform does not prove the author and subject met, that every statement is accurate, or that the subject will behave safely. Weigh who wrote it and what it says, and screen independently rather than relying on a count.
A vouch is planned to record one eligible member's endorsement of another profile. It may describe an interaction, introduction, or community impression, but it remains the author's statement—not proof that two people met or that claims about identity, consent, or conduct are accurate.
A host or member may consider vouch wording and context when making a decision, but no vouch would guarantee RSVP approval, compatibility, or safety. A high count can still be stale, mistaken, coordinated, or manipulated.
If you choose to write a vouch, describe only what you personally know and avoid claims about private relationships, legal identity, or future behaviour. If you receive one, review it for accuracy and use the available report path when something is misleading or abusive.
When evaluating a profile, consider the author, wording, timing, and whether different endorsements contain meaningful independent detail. Do not replace direct conversation, a public first meeting, independent transport, or other safety steps with a numerical threshold.
JoinTheSwing plans to tie a vouch to the authoring account and apply eligibility, reporting, and moderation controls. Those controls add accountability but do not make the underlying statement true or impossible to fabricate.
