Safety on GigPigeon

We want you sharing gig stories, not dealing with nightmares. Reporting and blocking keep that space safe.

Reporting content

You can report any check-in you believe is illegal, harmful, or against our rules. A reported check-in is hidden from public view immediately, then reviewed by our moderators — it's either permanently removed if it's upheld, or reinstated if not. We have a non-retaliation policy for reporting, though malicious abuse of the reporting system can result in account removal.

Friend requests, on your terms

Anyone can send you a friend request — no matter how many festivals you apparently "definitely met" at. You don't have to accept it, and nobody sees your feed until you do. You can remove a friend at any time, which stops you seeing each other's feeds (you can re-add them later if you choose).

Blocking

Blocking goes a step further than removing a friend: it stops you seeing each other's feeds and prevents either of you from sending a new friend request — a clean break, no group chat required.

What's visible to whom

Your username is searchable so friends can find you, but your logged gigs, ratings and reviews are visible only to the friends you've accepted — never public by default. Your questionable early-2010s dubstep phase stays between you and them.
