These Community Guidelines govern participation in public forums, discussions, comments, posts, polls, profiles, shared cases, messages, and other community features of Overthink It (“Overthink It,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Overthink It is designed to help adults think through relationships, dating situations, conversations, social situations, and everyday questions. Because users may discuss sensitive personal experiences and information about other people, maintaining a respectful, privacy-conscious, and reasonably safe environment is essential.
These Guidelines are incorporated into and form part of the Overthink It Terms of Service. A violation may result in content removal, feature restrictions, suspension, or termination of an account.
These Guidelines establish general standards that apply immediately. Feature-specific rules, safety requirements, or additional restrictions may supplement these Guidelines when particular community features are introduced.
These Guidelines do not guarantee that any particular content will be removed or that any particular enforcement action will be taken. We may take reasonable action when we believe it is necessary to protect users, the community, or the platform.
Treat other people with basic respect.
You may disagree, criticize an idea, or express a strong opinion. You may not use disagreement as a reason to harass, threaten, humiliate, or attack another person.
Do not engage in:
Disagree with the opinion, not the person.
Do not attack, threaten, demean, or encourage discrimination against people based on protected or personal characteristics, including:
This applies to posts, comments, usernames, profiles, polls, messages, images, and other community content.
Do not:
Where appropriate and legally permitted or required, credible threats may be reported to appropriate authorities.
Do not post, distribute, request, or encourage others to locate or expose someone's private information.
This includes:
Do not encourage users to identify, locate, track, contact, or confront a private individual.
Information that someone has intentionally made publicly available does not automatically mean it is appropriate to repost or aggregate for the purpose of targeting that person.
Overthink It may allow users to analyze conversations and relationship situations, including through screenshots.
If you share screenshots or excerpts of:
you should remove identifying information unless you have permission or another lawful basis to share it.
This may include:
Overthink It may remove content that unnecessarily exposes another person's private information.
Overthink It may be used to discuss dating experiences and dating-app interactions.
You may ask the community for perspective on a dating situation.
You may not use the platform to:
Focus on the situation and behavior rather than turning an identifiable person into a target.
Do not organize users to attack, harass, mass-report, contact, embarrass, or otherwise target another person.
This includes encouraging users to:
Do not use Overthink It to organize online or offline harassment.
Do not falsely pretend to be:
Do not create misleading accounts intended to deceive users about your identity.
Parody, satire, or fictional content may be permitted when it is sufficiently clear that it is not a genuine identity claim.

Overthink It is an 18+ platform.
Any sexual content involving minors is strictly prohibited.
Do not use Overthink It to generate, upload, request, distribute, analyze, sexualize, exploit, or facilitate sexual content involving minors.
We may take immediate action and may report unlawful material where required or appropriate.
Do not flood the community with repetitive or unwanted content.
Prohibited spam includes:
Do not create multiple accounts to artificially increase visibility, reactions, comments, votes, or other engagement.
Unless a poll specifically states otherwise, one account should represent one genuine vote.
Do not manipulate polls through:
Do not create misleading polls primarily intended to harass, shame, target, or deceive another person.
Do not intentionally fabricate information in order to deceive other users.
This includes intentionally falsifying:
If something is fictional, hypothetical, recreated, satirical, AI-generated, or materially edited, clearly identify it when failing to do so could reasonably mislead others.
AI-generated content is permitted when it complies with these Guidelines.
You may not use AI to:
If AI-generated or substantially AI-manipulated content could reasonably be mistaken for authentic content, clearly label it.
Only upload or distribute content you have the right or permission to share.
Do not knowingly upload:
Copyright complaints may be handled under Overthink It's separate Copyright / DMCA Policy.
Do not use public community features primarily to advertise products, services, businesses, referral links, or commercial offers unless the applicable feature expressly permits that activity.
Do not:
Relevant, genuine discussions about products or services may be permitted when they are not deceptive or abusive.
Use appropriate:
Do not intentionally post unrelated material simply to obtain visibility.
Moderators may move, edit, lock, or remove substantially off-topic content.
Do not intentionally manufacture fake controversy or misleading content solely to generate:
Genuine questions, controversial opinions, and strong disagreements are allowed.
The concern is intentional deception or manipulation.
If Overthink It allows users to share Cases or participate in discussions involving relationship situations, users are responsible for considering whether they have permission or another lawful basis to share information about other people.
Do not use a shared Case or public discussion to:
A user's ability to access a shared Case does not necessarily mean they have permission to repost its contents publicly.
Content posted publicly may be:
Do not publicly post information that you would not want other people to see.
Deleting content does not necessarily mean every copy, screenshot, quotation, cache, backup, or moderation record immediately disappears.
Exercise caution when sharing personal information.
Do not publicly post:
Overthink It may remove exposed sensitive information where appropriate, but you remain responsible for information you choose to publish.
Do not attempt to obtain, guess, steal, or misuse another person's:
Do not attempt to bypass authentication, authorization, privacy settings, or other security controls.
Do not use Overthink It to distribute or execute malicious software or conduct attacks against the platform or its users.
This includes:
Do not interfere with the operation or security of the platform.
Do not abuse reporting or moderation systems.
Do not:
Report genuine concerns rather than using reports as a weapon.
If you encounter:
use the available reporting mechanism.
Do not retaliate, organize users against the person, or attempt to conduct your own investigation or punishment.
Overthink It may provide reporting mechanisms for user content and, where applicable, AI-generated responses.
AI-generated content and user-provided information may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or inappropriate.
You should independently evaluate important information rather than assuming that an AI response is correct.
AI output should not be treated as proof of another person's intentions, feelings, identity, character, or behavior.
Reports concerning AI output may be reviewed to investigate potential safety, policy, technical, or abuse issues.
Overthink It may review content when reasonably necessary to:
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
We may take action against conduct that is not specifically listed word-for-word if it presents a substantial risk to users, the community, or the platform.
Overthink It does not represent that human personnel routinely read users' private AI conversations or private account content.
Where technically and operationally applicable, content or information may nevertheless be reviewed by authorized personnel when reasonably necessary for purposes such as:
AI systems may also automatically process content to provide requested functionality and operate safety controls.
The Privacy Policy and AI Use & AI Privacy Notice provide additional information about data processing.
Repeated violations may result in progressively stronger enforcement.
Serious violations may result in immediate suspension or termination without prior warning.
Creating another account to evade a suspension or other enforcement action is prohibited.
Where Overthink It provides an appeal process, users may request review of eligible moderation decisions.
An appeal should explain why the user believes the action was incorrect or disproportionate.
Overthink It may establish reasonable limits on repetitive, abusive, or bad-faith appeals.
Submitting an appeal does not automatically restore removed content or suspended access while the appeal is pending.
These Guidelines operate alongside applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Nothing in these Guidelines is intended to prohibit lawful speech or activity protected by applicable law.
However, the fact that conduct may be lawful does not necessarily mean Overthink It must permit that conduct on its platform.
Overthink It may establish reasonable content and conduct standards for use of its services.
Overthink It cannot guarantee that users will always behave appropriately.
We do not guarantee that:
Users interact with other users at their own discretion and should exercise reasonable judgment.
These Guidelines apply throughout Overthink It, including, where applicable:
Private content is not necessarily exempt from enforcement when review is reasonably necessary to address reports, safety concerns, abuse, security issues, or legal obligations.
Overthink It may introduce additional social or community features over time.
These Guidelines establish baseline standards that apply when such features become available. Feature-specific rules, safety controls, reporting mechanisms, or additional restrictions may be introduced as particular features launch.
Overthink It may modify, restrict, suspend, or discontinue community features at any time, subject to applicable law and the Terms of Service.
Overthink It is intended exclusively for adults 18 years of age or older.
You must be at least 18 years old to create or use an Overthink It account.
You may not create an account for someone under 18 or knowingly allow a person under 18 to use your account.
Overthink It may take reasonable steps to enforce its age requirement and may suspend or terminate accounts that violate it.
Additional child-safety requirements may be addressed in the applicable Age and Child Safety Policy.
Overthink It is intended to help people think through situations, not to turn personal problems into public attacks.
A useful rule is:
Talk about the situation. Protect people's privacy. Don't turn another person into a target.
Users should be able to ask difficult questions, disagree, share experiences, and seek honest opinions without fear of harassment or public targeting.
At the same time, exposing another person's private information, organizing harassment, fabricating evidence, or deliberately deceiving the community is not acceptable.
When reviewing potentially problematic conduct or content, Overthink It may consider:
These Guidelines are intended to establish clear behavioral expectations while giving Overthink It reasonable discretion to respond to circumstances that cannot be anticipated in advance.
We may update these Community Guidelines as Overthink It develops, new features are introduced, or legal and safety requirements change.
When appropriate, we may provide notice of material changes.
The current version will be made available through Overthink It.
These Community Guidelines are incorporated into the Overthink It Terms of Service.
If a conflict exists between these Guidelines and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will control unless the applicable provision expressly states otherwise.
Violations of these Guidelines may also constitute violations of the Terms of Service.
