Penpal Cafe gives you a way to find and interact with other people who may share your interests and goals. Just like a real community, different people may have different opinions and personalities in Penpal Cafe. To make the most of your Penpal Cafe experience, please read these Guidelines carefully and act accordingly.
In the interest of making Penpal Cafe a fun way to connect with other people, we ask that everyone follow a few key rules, including:
- Penpal Cafe provides a forum to interact with people in cyberspace. Under no circumstances should you physically meet anyone through this service.
- You must be 18 years old or older to use Penpal Cafe. Do not post profiles that seek out or advertise users who are younger than 18.
- Use an anonymous e-mail address instead of an e-mail address associated with your company or school in order to prevent abuse.
- Do not post a profile on behalf of another person. You may only post a profile for yourself.
- Do not post your (or anyone else's) full name, email address, street address or phone number. Do not request this same information from other people in your profile.
- Do not post URLs, websites, Penpal Cafe Profiles, Penpal Cafe IDs, or instant messenger IDs/numbers. Do not alter the appearance of your profile by using HTML tags.
- Do not post adult-oriented content (e.g., nudity, overtly sexual language or images, etc.).
- Do not post obscene, offensive, illegal or otherwise objectionable material.
- Do not harass, threaten or use abusive or vulgar language.
- Do not post detailed descriptions of physical characteristics (e.g., measurements, sizes, etc.) or the types of sexual activities that interest you. Such information is better conveyed in communications with individuals who reply to you.
- Do not post a profile if you are not looking to connect with another person for a personal relationship or if your profile does not provide a general description of the type of person that interests you. If this is not your goal, Penpal Cafe may offer another service better suited to your needs.
