Community Guidelines

2008-09-04T15:33:00.000-07:00

Hey Tapatap Nation!

We wanted to let you know that we have recently updated our community guidelines. We want to continue to make sure that Tapatap is a safe and fun environment for all of our users. Here are some common sense guidelines to keep in mind while using the site.

• Don't forget that your Tapatap profile is on a public space. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, IM screen names, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you, such as where you hang out every day or a picture of you in front of your office or school.

• People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about adding strangers to your friends list. It's fun to connect with new Tapatap friends from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend or trusted adult.

• Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Report it to Tapatap or the authorities.

• Don't post anything that would embarrass you later. It's easy to think that only our friends are looking at our Tapatap page, but the truth is that everyone can see it. Think twice before posting a photo or information you wouldn't want your parents, potential employers, colleges or boss to see!

• Don't say you're over 18 if you're not. Don't say you're younger than 18 if you're not. If Tapatap determines you are under 14 and pretend to be older, we will delete your profile. If customer service determines you are over 18 and pretend to be a teenager to contact underage users, we will delete your profile.

• Be respectful of other users. Belittling or insulting remarks are not conducive to the creation of a strong online community. Don't say something to someone that you wouldn't want said to you. Profanity or hate speech will not be allowed on Tapatap.

• Moderators do not respond to every post. Moderators will review all inquiries, and respond at their discretion. If you need to contact Tapatap support, please do so by email at support@tapatap.com

Please go to our community guidelines section to see the complete guidelines for photo and user generated content on Tapatap. Let us know if you have any questions. We love to get your feedback!

See you tappin’!.

I won a photo contest last month and I have to say that I am in love with Tapatap! Tapatap has the most addictive contests I have ever been a part of! I always come so close to winning, like second or third place, so I was ecstatic when I won 1st Place for the "Show Your Creativeness!" Contest. Your website was a brilliant idea so please keep up the good work!

How NOT to meet people on Tapatap. Rule #3.

2008-04-07T17:01:00.000-07:00

Lately, Tapatap members have been inquiring about "how-to" meet other members.

And from the looks of some comments on the website, some members have been executing the WRONG tactics towards achieving friendship with other members.

Because of their blunders, we have decided to create a list of rules members should consider before "hollaring."

Rule #3: Search Wisely

To the best of our knowledge, Tapatap does not have any celebrity members. Sorry to burst your bubble, stalkers. We hope this information is not earth shattering, but it is 100% true.

During your search, if you come across a members' profile picture, and you ask yourself: "She looks familiar, is that Angelina Jolie? Wow, is that really Zac Efron?" You have 99.99999999% chance of being wrong.

Next time you want to tap that, remember, our membership is limited to real people, not celebrities.

However, if you ARE a real celebrity, we welcome you with open arms!

How NOT to meet people on Tapatap. Rule #2.

2008-03-28T13:27:00.000-07:00

Lately, Tapatap members have been inquiring about "how-to" meet other members.

And from the looks of some comments on the website, some members have been executing the WRONG tactics towards achieving friendship with other members.

Because of their blunders, we have decided to create a list of rules members should consider before "hollaring."

Rule #2: Your profile picture should be appropriate!

Unfortunately, a certain amount of members have taken upon themselves to advertise their "personal" privacy on Tapatap. As expected, a high frequency of members have a) pointed and laugh, b) reported abuse, or c) forwarded the photo to Guinness World Records for the smallest form of entertainment on the web.

Remember, only Apple iPods are awarded for being tiny and compact.

How NOT to meet people on Tapatap. Rule #1.

2008-03-17T14:09:00.000-07:00

Lately, Tapatap members have been inquiring about "how-to" meet other members.

And from the looks of some comments on the website, some members have been executing the WRONG tactics towards achieving friendship with other members.

Because of their blunders, we have decided to create a list of rules members should consider before "hollaring."

Rule #1: DO NOT post your phone number on profiles.

Chances are, they don't even know your first name. So why in the world would they call you? You might want to actually stir up a worth-while conversation through some messages. Maybe then, if at all, they might consider calling you. Until that point in time arises, keep your phone number private.

And finally, if you continue to distribute your phone number freely on Tapatap, you give yourself a higher chance of getting phone calls from someone asking if your refrigerator is running. So unless you have created a living, breathing refrigerator, you don't want these types of calls.

We will post new rules throughout the coming month!
