Safety is not a feature. It's the foundation.

Every person on Meetra is a real account. Phone number verification is required to join plans — it's the first line of accountability in our community. Identity verification, which links your profile to a government-issued ID, is available for both planners and attendees who want to signal an extra level of trust.

Verified profiles display a badge that other members can see. This isn't a vanity feature — it's a signal that the person on the other end of a plan request has passed a real check and is accountable to their identity.

Planner profiles additionally show their hosting history, average rating, total events hosted, and the tier they've earned — Community, Verified, or Professional. You can make an informed decision about who you're signing up to spend time with before you ever leave your home.

Not everyone can host a public event on Meetra. Every planner goes through an application and review process before their first plan is published. The application requires a completed profile, a bio, phone verification, and a demonstrated connection to the Meetra community.

Once approved, planners are assigned a tier. Community planners are new to hosting and can run smaller, free events. Verified planners have a track record of successful events and positive reviews, and can host up to 150 attendees. Professional planners have undergone identity and PAN verification, have a linked bank account, and can run paid events with Stripe-powered ticketing.

A planner's tier is always visible on their profile and on every plan they host. If a planner's behaviour falls short of our standards, their account can be suspended — with a reason logged and visible to admins. Every plan you attend is hosted by someone who has been vetted and is accountable.

Planners can require approval for every join request. This means you, as an attendee, are never added to a group without the planner actively choosing to accept you — and the planner can see who is requesting to join before confirming.

This two-way accountability matters. Planners know who is coming. Attendees know the planner is paying attention. Both parties have made an intentional choice before meeting in real life.

When a plan fills up, a waitlist system ensures no one is left stranded — and cancellations automatically move waitlisted attendees in. Plans that are cancelled by a planner are flagged in their hosting record, so reliability becomes part of their long-term reputation.

All event details — location, time, category, and planner — are visible before you request to join. There are no bait-and-switch plans on Meetra.

We build safety into the platform, but we also want to share practical guidance for every meetup — whether you're attending your first plan or your fiftieth.

Meet in public first. Meetra plans are designed for public spaces — parks, cafés, gyms, co-working spaces. If a planner asks to meet somewhere private for a first-time event, that's a signal worth noticing.

Tell someone where you're going. Share the plan details — location, planner name, time — with a friend or family member before you head out. It takes 30 seconds and builds a simple safety net.

Trust your instincts. If something feels off about a plan, a planner, or a person in the group, leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation. You can report the concern afterwards, and we will act on it.

Use in-app chat. Keep conversations inside Meetra until you're comfortable. Our messaging system keeps a record and gives you easy access to block or report if needed.

Every profile, plan, and message on Meetra has a Report button. Reports go directly to our moderation team and are reviewed within 24 hours for safety-related concerns. We don't hide behind automation for serious reports — a human reviews every flagged safety issue.

Blocking a user removes them from your view immediately. They cannot see your profile, message you, or appear in your Nearby feed. You don't need to explain yourself to block someone, and the person is not notified.

If you experience harassment, threats, or inappropriate behaviour at a Meetra event, please report it through the app and contact us at hello@themeetra.com. We take a zero-tolerance approach to behaviour that puts community members at risk.

Repeated violations, regardless of severity, result in escalating consequences — from content removal and warnings through to permanent account bans. Planners who are suspended cannot host new events, and their suspension reason is visible to admins.

Meetra is a community built around genuine human connection. To keep it that way, we ask everyone — planners and attendees alike — to follow a simple set of principles.

Be who you say you are. Use a real photo, your real name or a consistent handle, and accurate profile information. Fake profiles undermine the trust that makes Meetra work.

Show up when you say you will. Ghosting a plan — especially one that required approval — affects real people who planned their evening around it. If you can't make it, cancel early so the waitlist can move.

Treat everyone with respect. Meetra plans bring together people from different backgrounds, cities, and walks of life. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion based on gender, religion, caste, sexuality, or background has no place here.

Keep conversations appropriate. Group chats are for coordinating plans — not for sharing unsolicited content, advertisements, or political campaigns.

Violations of these guidelines result in action — from warnings and content removal to account suspension. If you see something that doesn't belong, report it. Keeping Meetra safe is a shared responsibility.
