OkCupid's stance on bullying and harassment
Bullying and harassment can include hurtful language which targets an individual or group of people, trolling, spreading rumours and excluding people from online communities. In the case of harassment, the behaviour is repeated and intended to cause distress. Repeated harassment should be reported to the police.
OkCupid asks for respectful, appropriate, honest, and kind messages. OkCupid does not allow "negging" (insulting statements disguised as "flirting") or other rude behavior. People found to be sending harassing messages will be banned.
OkCupid will also remove profile essays which are found to be overly combative or hateful.
