PusoKo is a place for honest people looking for real connection between the US and the Philippines. These rules keep it that way. We explain every action we take, and you can always appeal.

Zero tolerance: permanent ban

• Asking for, offering, or hinting at money, gifts, load, crypto, or "investments"
• Pretending to be someone else, or using someone else's photos
• Anything sexual involving minors, or anyone under PusoKo's minimum age joining
• Job, travel, visa, or "sponsorship" offers used to lure someone
• Offering or asking for paid companionship, "allowance", or sugar arrangements
• Threats, blackmail, or sharing someone's intimate images
• Hate speech

When we ban an account for fraud, we tell everyone it messaged.

Serious: strike and suspension

• Unsolicited sexual messages or images
• Harassment, or not taking "no" for an answer
• Lying about your age, relationship status, or children (breaking the Truth Pledge)
• Repeatedly pushing people to move off PusoKo before they're ready
• Trying to come back after a ban

Minor: warning first

• Rudeness, spammy or copy-paste intros, misleading but harmless profile details

How it works

• Three strikes and your account is closed. Strikes expire after 12 months (zero-tolerance bans never expire).
• You'll always see what rule an action relates to, and you can appeal within 14 days. A different person reviews appeals.
• We never tell anyone who reported them.

The Truth Pledge

Every member promises: I am who I say I am, my photos are of me and recent, and my age, relationship status, and children are stated honestly. Breaking the pledge means a permanent ban.
