We evaluate clothes, not bodies.

Someone posting here is asking whether a garment suits an occasion. They are not asking to be assessed as a person. If your comment would still make sense about the same outfit on a mannequin, it is probably fine. If it only makes sense because of whose body is in it, it does not belong here.

• "Too casual for a law firm interview — swap the knit for a plain shirt."
• "The proportions fight each other. Tuck the front or size down the trousers."
• "Gorgeous, but that heel on grass at an outdoor wedding will sink."
• "Option 2. The colour actually works with the venue lighting."
• "For a mosque visit you will want the shoulders and knees covered."

Specific, about the clothes, and useful to someone who has to get dressed in an hour.

These are removed, and repeated instances cost you your account.

• Rating a person's attractiveness — numerically or otherwise. This is not that kind of site.
• Body shaming, or comments about someone's size, shape or weight.
• Unsolicited weight-loss, diet or cosmetic-surgery advice.
• Sexualised comments, sexual propositions, or fetish solicitation.
• Harassment, pile-ons, or following someone across the site to be unpleasant.
• Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or contempt for someone's religion or culture.
• Posting images of someone who did not agree to it.
• Impersonating another person, brand or creator.
• Sharing anyone's address, workplace, or where they will be right now.
• Asking the community to identify a stranger in a photo.
• Adult sexual content.
• Spam, and paid promotion that is not disclosed as such.

Swimwear, gymwear, form-fitting clothing, costumes and cosplay are all normal things to need advice about. A post asking whether a swimsuit works for a resort is a clothing decision, and we moderate it as one.

What changes that is conduct: how something is framed, how it is captioned, and how people respond to it. We moderate on context and behaviour, not on how much fabric is in the photo.

Post photos you have the right to share. If someone else is in the frame, they need to have agreed. You can blur faces and details in the composer before publishing, and the blur is permanent — it is applied to the stored file, not layered over it.

Do not post someone else’s outfit for judgement without their knowledge, and never post a photo of a stranger.

Accounts are for people aged 18 and over. Outfit OKAY is a photo-based community and we are not willing to expose minors to it until there is a minor-safety programme designed specifically for them. If you believe an account belongs to someone under 18, report it.

• Public — anyone on Outfit OKAY can find and answer it. Search-engine indexing is still off unless you switch it on, and only ever applies to public posts.
• Link only — it exists at a private, unguessable address. It is not in any feed, not on your profile, not in search, and cannot be reached by guessing.
• Private Circle — only the group of people you choose. A link alone is not enough; membership is checked every time.

You choose this before you publish, and the choice is shown on the decision itself so you can always tell what state it is in.

• Every image is re-encoded on our servers before it is stored. That removes EXIF metadata, including the GPS coordinates most phones attach.
• Images live in private storage. There is no public URL. When someone is allowed to see your decision, the server issues a short-lived signed link that expires.
• Delete a post or your account and the underlying files are removed from storage, so every link to them stops resolving.
• A link to a photograph that was already handed out keeps working until it expires, which is at most 30 minutes. Deleting the post removes the files themselves, which ends those links too.
• You can permanently blur any part of a photo before publishing — a face, a badge, a house number. The blur is burned into the stored file. There is no unblurred original kept behind it.

Nothing finds faces for you. Blurring is manual and deliberate: you choose what to cover, and it is burned into the stored file.

We never ask for your precise location and there is no way to attach one. Occasion and venue are broad categories, not addresses.

If your decision is about an event you are about to attend, you can hide the venue and timing entirely, and close voting before you arrive. Announcing where you will be and when is the part worth thinking twice about — not the outfit.

• Block — you and that account become invisible to each other. Follows are removed in both directions and neither of you can see the other's posts or comments.
• Mute — their posts leave your feed quietly. They are never told.
• Comments off — you can take votes without taking replies. The tally still works.

You can message another member, and a first message from somebody you do not follow arrives as a request — it sits apart from your conversations until you accept it, and you never have to. Declining is silent.

Blocking works in both directions and covers messages too: a blocked account cannot start a conversation with you or continue one.

A message cannot be edited or deleted once it is sent. That is deliberate: private messaging is where photo-based communities accumulate harassment, and a thread somebody can rewrite afterwards is not evidence. Messages are readable only by the two of you, so when you report someone from a conversation you can choose to include its most recent messages — that is how a moderator gets to read what was said.

Every post, comment and account can be reported. Reports land in a moderation queue that a person works through, and every action taken is written to an audit log with the moderator, the reason and the time.

If something of yours is removed, you can appeal it and a person reviews it again. Appeals close thirty days after the decision, and you can have one open at a time on the same thing. Repeat offenders lose their accounts.

• You can delete any decision you have posted, and its images go with it.
• You can delete your account, which removes your profile, posts, images and comments.
• We do not sell your images, your face, your private posts or a style profile of you. Any future trend reporting will be aggregated and disclosed.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. We can remove content and accounts, but we are not an emergency service. Reports about someone under 18, a non-consensual image, a shared address or a live location are reviewed first: choose that reason when you report.

Report the post, the comment or the account. Reports go to a human moderation queue with a written record of every action taken. You can also block someone, which makes you invisible to each other, or mute them, which quietly removes them from your feed without telling them.

If we remove something of yours and you think we got it wrong, you can appeal it and a person will look again. That page lists every decision made about you and the reason recorded at the time. Appeals close thirty days after the decision.
