Community Guidelines & Penalty Protocol

The cornerstone of the Bugim community is trust, mutual respect, and punctuality. To eliminate ghosting/no-shows and maintain a premier social circle, rules are enforced strictly without compromise.

• •
  Punctuality Principle: Arriving late or failing to attend results in an immediate 1-month system suspension.
• •
  Mandatory Venue Check-in: Users must arrive at the venue and complete check-in; failure to do so results in a 1-week penalty.
• •
  Physical GPS Verification: Arrival confirmation and event check-in require physical presence within a 150-metre radius of the designated venue. Utilizing fake GPS, spoofers, or mock locations results in an immediate permanent ban.
• •
  Mutual Respect: Treating everyone at the meetup with utmost dignity is required. Harassment, nuisance, discrimination, or hate speech results in an immediate, permanent, and irrevocable ban.
• •
  Role of the Platform: Bugim is strictly a digital facilitator; venue reservations, bill payments, ticketing, and personal health/property safety are the sole responsibility of individual attendees.

• •
  Joining an event is a binding commitment.
• •
  ≥3-Hour Rule: Leave allowances (1 per week for Standard members, 3 per week for Club Pass members) can ONLY be exercised when there are at least 3 hours remaining before the event start time.
• •
  <3-Hour Lockout: When less than 3 hours remain before an event, leaving is completely locked. Leaving after this threshold is strictly prohibited and triggers an automatic No-Show suspension.
• •
  Venue and timing are finalized through group voting; complying with the majority decision is mandatory.

• •
  No-Show (Failure to Attend): Users who fail to attend confirmed events without valid excuse are suspended for 1 month.
• •
  Failure to Check In: Users who attend but fail to complete the 150m GPS check-in are suspended for 1 week.
• •
  Failure to Review: Users who fail to submit double-blind ratings within 24 hours receive a 3-day restriction.
• •
  Severe Violations: Severe insult, fake accounts, harassment, filter evasion (inserting spaces between banned words), or safety threats will result in permanent account termination with device UUID and phone number blacklisted.
