This is the heart of VibeNest. A few simple promises we all make so every room stays safe, kind and genuinely fun.
Last updated: 21 August 2026
Be kind
Treat everyone with warmth and respect — regardless of gender, background, faith, orientation, ability or how new they are. Everyone was new here once.
Be curious, not creepy
Great conversations come from genuine curiosity. Respect boundaries and consent — a 'no' (spoken or unspoken) is always the end of it. VibeNest is not a place for unwanted advances.
Be present
Show up as yourself, put the phone away, and give people your attention. The magic only happens when you're actually in the room.
Zero tolerance
We have zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination, or self-serving behaviour that treats the community as a lead list. Anyone who breaks this is removed — no exceptions.
If something feels off at an event, find a host immediately. We've got you.
What counts as a breach
So there's no ambiguity later, this is the behaviour that gets someone removed:
- Unwanted attention, comments, or contact of a sexual nature — including persisting after someone has disengaged.
- Slurs, or hostility based on gender, caste, religion, region, orientation, disability, appearance or background.
- Photographing or filming someone who has said no, or sharing images of someone in a way meant to embarrass them.
- Following someone, or contacting them off-platform after they've asked you not to.
- Threats, intimidation, or any physical aggression.
- Showing up intoxicated to the point of being unsafe, or pressuring anyone else to drink.
- Using the room to sell, recruit, or farm contacts — collecting numbers to pitch later is not networking.
- Misrepresenting who you are, or bringing someone we haven't been told about.
Reporting something
In the moment, find a host. They can move you, seat you elsewhere, ask someone to leave, or get you home — you don't need to explain yourself first.
Afterwards, or if you'd rather not raise it on the day, email hello@vibenestsocial.com. It reaches the founding team, not a queue.
You can report on someone else's behalf, and you can report anonymously — though it limits what we can act on, since we may not be able to check the account.
What we do about it
We take it seriously and we move quickly. Depending on what happened, that means a conversation, a warning, being removed from an event, being barred from future events, or having an account closed. Serious cases go straight to removal without a warning first.
We'll tell the person who reported it what we did, as far as we're able to without exposing anyone else's private details.
Where someone is removed for a serious breach, their ticket isn't refunded.
If behaviour looks like it crosses into a criminal matter, we'll support you in taking it to the police, and we'll cooperate with them.
No retaliation
Reporting something in good faith will never count against you. Retaliating against someone for reporting — or pressuring them to withdraw it — is itself a breach, and we treat it as one of the serious ones.
Come as you are. Leave with collaborators, clients and friends. The next gathering is waiting for you.
