How Nera Keeps You Safe

Meet new people with confidence. We've built multiple layers of safety into every event.

Never Meet Alone

Every event brings together 2-8 people. You're always in a group, never one-on-one with a stranger.

Why this matters: Group dynamics naturally discourage bad behavior. There's always someone nearby, and concerning actions are visible to everyone.

Anonymous Until 24 Hours Before

When you join an event, other participants only see "Guest 1", "Guest 2", etc. Full profiles are revealed 24 hours before the event—after everyone has committed their credits.

Why this matters: No one can target you based on appearance or personal details. People join for the activity, not to meet specific individuals.

Finding each other: When profiles unlock, the group chat opens so everyone can coordinate ("I'll be wearing a blue jacket!").

All Meetups in Public Places

Events happen at cafes, concert venues, museums, parks—always in public with other people around.

Why this matters: Public settings provide natural safety. Staff, security, and other patrons are always nearby if anything feels wrong.

10 Credits Required

Creating or joining an event costs 10 credits. Show up and check in, and you get your 10 back plus a 5-credit bonus. This ensures everyone is serious.

Why this matters: The credit requirement filters out trolls and people who aren't genuinely interested. Everyone at your event actually wants to be there.

Reliability Scores Track Behavior

Every user starts at 1500 and has a reliability rating (1000-2000) based on their event history. Check-ins, completed events, and community feedback all contribute. No-shows and late cancellations lower your score; consistent attendance raises it.

1700+ = Highly Reliable

Consistent attendance, great member of the community

1500-1699 = Reliable

Good track record, shows up to events

1300-1499 = Building Trust

Newer member, establishing reputation

Below 1300 = New

Just starting out on Nera

Optional Gender & Age Filters

Event creators can set preferences: mixed groups, female-only, male-only, or specific age ranges.

Why this matters: Women can create safe, female-only spaces. Parents can ensure age-appropriate groups for younger participants. Everyone has control over their experience.

Easy Reporting & Accountability

If someone behaves inappropriately, you can report them after the event. Reports impact reliability scores and serious violations result in account suspension.

Why this matters: Bad actors can't hide. The community self-regulates through accountability, keeping Nera safe for everyone.

Block Anyone, Anytime

If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them instantly. They'll appear as "Hidden User" and won't be able to see your profile, join your events, or contact you.

Why this matters: You're always in control. Blocking is mutual and immediate — no waiting for a review. You can unblock at any time if you change your mind.

Trust, But Always Verify

While we've built multiple safety layers, you should always:

  • •Meet in the public location specified in the event
  • •Tell a friend or family member where you're going
  • •Keep your phone charged and accessible
  • •Trust your instincts—if something feels off, leave
  • •Check participants' reliability scores before joining
