Safety & Moderation
How does Purplexa keep users safe?
Purplexa uses a multi-layered safety approach. AI-powered moderation monitors conversations in real time to detect inappropriate content. A trust scoring system rewards good behavior and limits access for rule-breakers. NSFW detection technology prevents inappropriate visual content, and a progressive ban system escalates consequences for repeat offenders.
What is the trust score system?
Every Purplexa user has a trust score that reflects their behavior on the platform. Your score increases when you have positive interactions, complete conversations, and spend time on the platform. It decreases if you are reported or violate community guidelines. A higher trust score unlocks better matches and additional privileges.
How do I report someone on Purplexa?
During any video chat, you can click the report button to flag a user for inappropriate behavior. You can also block a user instantly to prevent any further contact. All reports are reviewed by our moderation team, with AI assistance to prioritize urgent cases.
What happens when someone is reported?
When a user is reported, our moderation team reviews the report with AI assistance. Depending on the severity, the reported user may receive a warning, a temporary ban of increasing duration, or a permanent ban for serious violations. The reporter is never identified to the reported user.
Features
What games can I play during video calls?
Purplexa offers a variety of interactive games you can play with your chat partner, including trivia, word games, and other fun challenges. Games are a great way to break the ice and make conversations more engaging. New games are added regularly.
How do I earn PRPLX points?
You earn PRPLX points through positive interactions on the platform. Points are awarded for completing conversations, maintaining streaks, playing games, receiving positive feedback from chat partners, and participating in seasonal events. Points can be used for cosmetic upgrades and platform perks.
What are streaks and how do they work?
Streaks track your consecutive days of activity on Purplexa. Each day you have at least one conversation, your streak counter increases. Maintaining streaks earns you bonus PRPLX points and unlocks streak-exclusive rewards. If you miss a day, your streak resets to zero β unless you have a streak shield from a subscription plan.
What is the season pass?
The season pass is a limited-time progression system that runs during special events. By completing challenges and chatting during the season, you earn season points that unlock exclusive rewards, badges, and cosmetics. Each season has a unique theme and reward track.
