How to Spill the Tea Safely Online
Sharing your dating experiences is a powerful way to help others, but it's important to do it safely and responsibly. Here’s how to spill the tea on SpillHerTea without compromising your privacy or crossing legal lines.
1. Stay Anonymous
Your privacy is paramount. Never use your real name, and avoid sharing details that could personally identify you, such as your workplace, specific locations you frequent, or unique personal stories that could be traced back to you. The power of SpillHerTea lies in the collective, anonymous voice.
2. Focus on Behavior, Not Identity
When sharing a review, focus on objective behaviors and patterns. Instead of saying, 'John Doe is a bad person,' describe the actions: 'He was consistently late, communicated poorly, and made me feel disrespected.' This is more helpful and less like a personal attack.
3. Be Honest and Factual
Stick to what you personally experienced. Avoid exaggerating, making assumptions, or reporting rumors. Honest, factual accounts are the most valuable contributions to the community's safety and knowledge base.
4. Understand the Difference Between a Review and Doxxing
A review is sharing your experience to inform others. Doxxing is publishing someone's private information with malicious intent. SpillHerTea has a zero-tolerance policy for doxxing. Sharing information like a person's home address, phone number, or private photos is strictly forbidden and illegal.
5. Use the Platform's Safety Tools
Familiarize yourself with our safety features. If you see a review that violates our guidelines or makes you feel unsafe, report it. Use the block feature to control who can interact with you. These tools are here to protect you and the community.
