Upload only your own photos

We take copyrights very seriously. If you don’t own the rights to a photo or video, please don’t post it. Same goes for dogs. If the dog isn’t yours-- don’t post it…(only joking!)

Respect all users

We’re a very diverse community. This means you should respect other people’s beliefs, interests and property while on Shake. Shake takes a strong stance against hate speech, rude or abusive behavior, bullying, and misogyny. You should behave the same way on Shake as you would in real life. Additionally, we encourage all of our users to report anyone who does not follow these behavioral guidelines. As a community rooted in kindness and respect, we expect all of our users to respect each other, themselves, and the Shake staff.

Send original messages to other users

We strongly advise against copying and pasting the same message to every connection. We encourage our users to read profiles, learn about other people’s interests, and send an appropriate, relevant message to each match. We promise this will increase your chances of engaging in interesting conversations.

Don’t pretend you’re someone you’re not

As previously stated, do not post photos that are not of you. We also recommend using our photo verification tool to let other users know that your profile is legit.
